Description            : Urban Brawl is the prequel to 
			 Scuba Steve's: Action Doom, telling your 
			 character's history before those events.  
			 Urban Brawl embodies a comic book look and
			 feel with cell shaded graphics and story 
			 sequences.  All of this is fused with a 
			 gameplay that is reminicent of an old 
			 beat-em up game.

Story                  : Ten years before the events of the 
			 Uac Site 4 disaster, you are a former 
			 law enforcement officer, laid off, drunk, 
			 miserable, and raising your daughter alone.
			 When contract killers kidnap your daughter,
			 it's time for action.

Action Team
-------------------

- Sluggard		: Programming & Support for the 1.2 release
			  Wrote the new weapon and combat code
			  Cleaned up countless errors in the wad
			  from the conversion to GZDoom and added
			  multiplayer support. He was crucial in
			  bringing AD2 into 2021.
- Isle			: Isle took over when Cyb left, completing
			  the remaining half of the game.  I could
			  not have finished without him.
- Cyb			: He is responsible for a lot of the early
			  ACS scripting.  Thank you!
- Manc			: Provided voice work. His tireless efforts
			  in the Doom community for web hosting are
			  more appreciated than he could ever know.
- Ralphis		: Wrote all the original music
- Darknation		: Wrote most of the dialogue and cutscenes
			  If it sounds dull and uninspired, I
			  probably wrote it--flowery prose? DN.
