Description:	A simple, vanilla map for those who enjoy the old classic look and feel. The playtime is short, of about 10 minutes. No keys, five secrets (not required to win), the available weapons are P-SG-SSG-MG-RL-PR. Some switch hunting is required but it's kept well within any reasonable limits. Difficulty levels are implemented, but IMO I wouldn't try this map in UV at first, there are lots of damaging areas that are better to be mastered first (the map is generous on resources, though). The final room can be very punishing in UV, but the very last encounter can be somewhat skipped if the player opts to run as to the exit switch. You be the judge.

Notes to Source Port users:

- Freelook is nice but totally optional.
                          - Jump and crouch are strongly discouraged.
                          - Not tested along other mods (Brutal Doom and the
                            like). Should work, but the game balance will most
                            likely be affected in unpredictable ways.

Filename                : simple2-12-RC.zip
Release date            : 2022-dec-16
Description             : New features:

- Corrected the "secret" flag in the linedefs that
                            delimit secret doors.
                            
                          - Added 2 more secret areas.
                          
                          - One Megasphere stored in a secret area was underused
                            so I decided to replace it for a more fun item.

                            areas is now possible, you just have to find the
                            hidden way. Useful for those who want to do UV-MAX.

Filename                : simple2-11-Alpha.zip
Release date            : 2022-dec-15
Description             : Rebuilt the map nodes with GLBSP (looks like BSP has
                          some issues, generally it works, but in this map I had
                          a minor nodes problem).
                          
                          And also:
                          
                          - New enemies added.
                          
                          - Solved a visplane overflow in the Lava Room (hard to
                            occur, but possible).
                            
                          - Some detailing added into the Lava Room.
                          
                          - 2 new Radsuits added into the map.
