================================================================ HARDTIME.WAD Created by: Mike Katzberg Beta Testers: Simon Dyck, Matt Mclellan, and Scott Sentis. Release date : May 27, 1995 Email: katzbem@cs.uregina.ca before Sep. '95, or katzberg@meena.cc.uregina.ca from Sep. '95 on. (Any bugs?! What do you think of my level? Tell me!!) ================================================================ Misc. Author Info : Experienced Wolfenstein, Duke Nukem, Doom, Doom II, etc. level designer. Currently majoring in English at the University of Regina, but a computer nerd in general. :-) Upcoming Doom releases by this author : DOOM69 (A 10 level replacement that I'm putting the finishing touches on.) (i.e. erasing chunks 'cause my levels are just too damn big for Doom to handle...) HRDTM2.WAD? (What do you think? Should I make a sequel?) I'm currently working on some levels that are set in some kind of "Death Arena" for the Demons' viewing pleasure and your general annoyance... Description : An interwoven 2 key level; kind of interwoven like the original Doom levels. The action is pretty intense.. for a first level at least. The Story So Far : Uhmm... You like start in this weird alien base man, and... Naahh... Make up your own story--or better yet, just kick some demon ass! ================================================================ * Play Information * Game : Doom I: should work with any version. Episode and Level # : E1M1 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : No Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Difficulty Settings : Yes (but play on the _easiest_ level!) (Of course if you're really macho you can see just how far you get on the harder levels...) New Sounds : No New Graphics : No Demos Replaced : No REAL avg. playing time : 35-45 minutes (No kidding!) General : * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Build Time : 30+ hours, plus beta testing Editor(s) used : DEU 5.21, idbsp 1.12 Known Bugs : Standard glitches from overhanging sectors which are especially noticeable in "the slime pit" area. And other normal Doom bugs are in full effect here too. ================================================================ * Hints * Warning: don't read any farther if you're a Doom pro, but if you're just getting into it read on for a few helpful hints: Remember where the various keys and doors are if you pass them and cannot go through them at that time. This will sav you a lot of time searching for them in the long run (unfortunately Doom's map doesn't show you door colour like that nice map in Heretic does...) Save regularly! (After every major section or 5-10 mins. is highly recommended) Learn to dodge the shots from imps and barons! (Use the mouse!) ================================================================ * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may do whatever the fuck they want with this thing as long as I am given credit for creating the original HARDTIME.WAD file.
