=========================================================================== Advanced engine needed : Vanilla Update to : iraik.zip Primary purpose : Singleplayer =========================================================================== Title : I'ts Real And It Kills (AKA Everything Sucks) Filename : iraik.wad Primary purpose : Single Game : Heretic =========================================================================== Author : Matthias (AKA enkeli33) From : This planet Web site : https://liquiddoom.net/ Email Address : enkeli33@gmail.com =========================================================================== * About * =========================================================================== "I'ts Real And It kills (AKA Everything Sucks)" is a PWAD for Heretic. It contains a new episode (8 maps + one secret map). The whole episode was made in "Heretic" format in Doom Builder 2. So basically it's Vanilla. And because it's Vanilla, don't use jump and crouch, please. Note: This is version 2. I fixed couple of bugs in 2021, that were found since 2018. =========================================================================== * Maps * =========================================================================== E1M1 - The Harbor E1M2 - The Caverns E1M3 - In Tremor Dei E1M4 - The City E1M5 - The Winter E1M6 - The Spaceship E1M7 - The Water Maze E1M8 - Procyon Lotor E1M9 - House of Blood =========================================================================== * Engines, ports and everything * =========================================================================== -Vanilla, Chocolate, Crispy- Because this pwad is Vanilla, it should work with these and suprisingly it does. BUUUT I wouldn't recommend using it, because it crashes a lot, shows tutti frutti effects for some textures, HOMs and other bugs. The visplane limits are often exceeded. -Zdoom, Gzdoom, Qzdoom, Zandronum- Tested. Works fine for each of them! -Doomsday- FPS drops a lot. Mostly on places that are huge and contain lots of enemies. The creators told me they are working on the new a renderer that should fix this isue. Some textures are PNG and it shows black textures instead. Also should be fixed in the future. And sometimes the intermission screen between levels just shows a black screen and the progam doesn't respond. Not sure why and how to fix it. =========================================================================== * Many thanks to * =========================================================================== ID software for creating the Doom Engine and Raven Software for creating the game. Esselfortium and RottKing for creating the MEDIEVAL TEXTURES pack (https://realm667.com) that was used in this pwad. Masahiko Kimura and Michiru Yamane for creating the music for the videogame Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow. The music from this game was used in Map01 to Map06. Also thanks Mina-chan for creating the midi music files based on the soundtrack from Dawn of Sorrow. In map07 and map08 - original music from Heretic was used (from E3M2 and E2M4). In map09 I use the music from the videogame Castlevania Aria of Sorrow - Forbidden Area. The music was composed by Michiru Yamane and Takashi Yoshida and Soshiro Hokkai. Holcomb has made midi music file based on the soundtrack. So thanks all of these people! Many thanks Leebigh, kloki38, Hokarul, Drakenovec, Mikolah for BETATESTING.

Of course thanks to all players for playing. =========================================================================== * Borderline Personality Disorder * =========================================================================== I wanted to make a wad about BPD, because I wanted to raise awareness about this kind of personality disorder. At first, I named the maps after symptoms and behavior patterns of BPD, but I eventually scrapped this idea because it felt strange somehow. The original name of the wad was Everything Sucks, which refers to depression. If you have it, nothing is interesting, nothing is fun, and you feel like everything sucks. The name was changed to It's Real and it Kills, because for many people, "Everything Sucks" m: sounds like a jokewad or some Terry-style wad. "It's real and it kills" refers not only to depression, but to BPD, because it's a real disorder and 1 in 10 of its victims commit suicide, so it kills as well. Eventually, I decided I could talk about it a little bit. Here are original names of maps that were changed eventually. Each name is some symptom of BPD. E1M1 - Anxiety and Self-loathing (AKA The Harbor) E1M2 - Being Unwanted and Refused (AKA The Caverns) E1M3 - An Impulsive Spender (AKA In Tremor Dei) E1M4 - Mood Swings (AKA The City) E1M5 - Past Is Now (AKA The Winter) E1M6 - Burning Bridges (AKA The Space Ship) E1M7 - Bad Coping Mechanism (AKA The Water Maze) E1M8 - Borderline Personality Disorder (AKA The Fortress) E1M9 - Ghosting So moral of the story? Try to understand other people... Maybe you met someone who acted like an ass and you didn't understand why. Well guess what - he could have BPD so he wasn't capable of fully controling himself and his emotions. His brain might be a little bit different. Some people are more complicated than others. =========================================================================== * About me * =========================================================================== Here are other pwads I made: Idoom mapping contest #1: Quake World (Map 03) https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/g-i/idmqwcon Zones of Fear (Maps 01,02, 04, 07, 10, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29) https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/megawads/zof Fucking Hexen https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/hexen/d-f/fh Energy Flux https://www.doomworld.com/idgames/levels/doom2/Ports/d-f/flux Working on: Czechbox - another Doom Community project A nameless Hexen project A nameless Doom project =========================================================================== New levels : 9 Sounds : Nah Music : Yes, see above Graphics : Yes Dehacked/BEX Patch : Yes, some data edited inside wad Demos : No Other : No Other files required : heretic.wad =========================================================================== * Play Information * =========================================================================== Game : Heretic Map # : 1 Episode Single Player : Designed for Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes (but not tested) (only player starts) Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes (but not tested) (only player starts) Other game styles : No Difficulty Settings : Yes Port : See above =========================================================================== * Construction * =========================================================================== Base : New from scratch Playtesters : Leebigh, kloki38, Hokarul, Drakenovec, Mikolah Known Bugs : See * Engines, ports and everything * section Build Time : A year Editor(s) used : Doom Builder 2, Slade 3 and MS Paint Tested With : See above May Not Run With... : See above =========================================================================== * Copyright / Permissions * =========================================================================== I don't belive in copyright.
