Title                   : Ex Inferis
Filename                : Inferus.wad

Misc. Author Info       : Costa Rican. Quality-obsessive. Product designer. 
                          Sucks at bios.

Description             : A collection of maps i've been building, polishing 
                          & testing the crap out of over the last 8 years or so, made 
			  to suit my own taste and originally meant for personal use. 
 
                          Maps emphasize combat and aesthetics, range from large to huge 
			  in size and are densely populated. The campaign starts with 
			  a dark/brutalist theme but quickly departs from that formula. 
			  Also, M30 is just a regular map. I don't really care for the 
			  Icon Of Sin.
                          
                          Gameplay-wise, slaughter is my personal preference so, yes,
                          though i like variety so expect a fair amount of incidental 
                          combat and platforming in between. Jumping/crouching will break 
                          many maps, please refrain. Freelook (with autoaim disabled) 
			  is expected -likely required- in order to complete the game 
			  and experience the architecture. I stuck to Doom2
			  mapping format in order to make this as mod-friendly
			  as possible.

                          Gameplay tip: As soon as the music starts, RUN!

                          I hope you enjoy Ex Inferis, thanks for downloading
                          & playing!

                          making maps which provided inspiration and motivation 
                          to get started with this in the first place. Special 
                          thanks to Jonas Feragen for the above and also
                          for kindly allowing me to remake one of his maps from
                          Hell Revealed 2 which is a long-time personal favorite (M29).

			  Id/Bethesda for Doom 2016 which (obviously) inspired M26.
