Description             : "Hey MORTAL! yeah you, I have a game for you, step
                          into my realm for a spell...."
                          
                          This is my first Ever Doom Map, always tangled with
                          the idea of making one but never got to it. This
                          started as an experiment to learn DoomBuilder and
                          have fun most of all.
                          
                          This is MAP01, though it's a bit of a mega-level,
                          it is not too complex. It can be linear at times
                          and arena-like at others. Not much puzzle solving
                          like old id maps, this is more like a Gauntlet
                          through hell where sometimes you have to run, or
                          fight, use the map to your advantage or fall victim
                          to it's architecture.
                          
                          Fight through 7 mini layers of hell, slaughtering
                          hellspawn and flipping the bird  along the way. The Main Idea 
			I had here was to give the sense that you were truly delving down
			Into the depths of hell, lower and lower, to the core.
                          
                          Any criticism is appreciated, I had a lot of fun
                          making this wad and went at it for 3 days
                          semi-feverishly Learning what I needed of
                          Doombuilder along the way. 
                          
                          I got my initial vision done and then some but like
                          I said, it's a first attempt :)
                          
                          That being said, keep your eyes peeled and save
                          often:P
                          Now for some important footnotes:

			-You Will need the ability to jump
				
				-You WILL need to have fall damage disabled
				
                          
                          
                          -This is Designed for GZDoom and was mostly tested
                          with project brutality. You can use vanilla doom as
                          well but what is important is using the GZDoom
                          Engine, there was alot of liberal torch placing and
                          lighting changes, and using something like
                          Zandronum just makes it look like shit an takes
                          away the feeling I had in mind.
                          
                          -Works with Zandronum but not recommended
                          
                          -Is pretty crazy fun with Project Brutality! Normal
                          doom is good too, just not as Hectic.
                          
                          -Playing Project Brutality on Brutal difficulty
                          and traditional mode was the main testing Method
                          and provided a nice weighted challenge, balanced
                          enough, for someone like me who is average yet
                          knows the map literally inside out.
                          
                          -Going Above Brutal difficulty is nuts for me, but
                          perhaps you real hardcore players may find
                          enjoyment.
                          
                          -Looks like It can be speedrun, though that would
                          be near suicide, I believe it's possible and a
                          challenge in itself, Otherwise my full playthrough,
                          at a decent pace was around 18 minutes so expect it
                          to be in that realm.
                          
                          -Health and Ammo, seems to me was plentiful enough,
                          maybe once I found myself having to use the
                          chainsaw to get through one more Horde. Keep in
                          mind this is on Brutal Difficulty. If you play
                          higher do let me know if you had enough but also
                          keep in mind each section has what you need if you
                          take a moment to look for it, in my experience
                          anyway.
                          
                          Alright! Go Give it a whack and tell me what ya
                          think!

                         Finally there was a placeholder file, Caius theme megamix from FFXIII that would be V1 of this WAD
				which I am still unsure if it will be accepted or not so V2 is the safeguard, although 
				I really loved that FFXIII track on the level!
				but in case it caused problems I made this 2nd version which is all original music.
				A merging of 2 tracks called the "great attack" and "charlie vs. Daedalus".
				These were made a year earlier but left unused, so they dont reflect this project 
				perfectly but I beleive it lends something to it and it avoids any Copyright issues, 
				all audio is mine and mine alone.
