Description             : Japanese Community Project is a 32 level megawad  
                          made by Japanese Doomers.

                          Doom is a minor game in Japan, so Doom community 
                          in Japan is very small. The community having been 
                          weakening year by year, we started this project 
                          for strengthening our solidarity, improving mapping 
                          skill, and so on. We aimed a low-threshold project 
                          which anyone could participate. Some doomers were 
                          inexperience mappers or beginners, so Tatsurd-Cacocaco, 
                          a project leader, supported map's detail and port
                          compatibility. We finally managed to complete 32 
                          maps which are the same quality as modern maps. 

                          Japanese status HUD is included .If you load JPCP_HUD.wad 
                          with this wad, status bar in "Katakana" and "Kanji" 
                          can be used.

                          We hope that you have a good time.

Tatsurd-Cacocaco
=================
Yes, it's first successful megawad project from Japanese doom community. 
Actually, there were some projects before, but they were had been abandoned. 
It was a serious problem that there are very few skilled mappers in Japan,  
but I always wanted to succeed in a project. Fortunately, many Japanese 
doomers know me for my videos of playing doom. I thought that I was a 
suitable person to gather Japanese Doomers, though it might be just 
hubris. I started a project with low-threshold rule for inexperience 
mappers or beginners. Japanese Community Project (JPCP) is it. I poured 
my effort to the project thinking Japanese megawad would not have appeared 
again if I would do not the success of this project. 

JPCP had some good opportunities after the first version was released. 
This is because JPCP was selected at ZDeamon Thursday Night Survial 
and Doomworld Magawad Club, so I could have valuable opportunities 
to get a lot of feedback. Quality of the final version was substantially
improved. 

By the way, map 03 is a re-edited map from an abandoned project which is 
called "Armageddon". Masayan proposed me that I can freely use maps in 
Armageddom when masayan joined in JPCP. This map is especially my favorite, 
so I have wanted to just release it from before. I inserted it to the last 
slot in the project instead of my 5th map. 

Finally, my thanks goes to Japanese contributors, testers in Doomworld 
community, and all doom players. Enjoy!

This is my first time in a PWAD. To be honest, I never thought 
people would enjoy my maps. I joined in through pure coincidence. 
Two years ago, I visited Tatsurd-cacocaco's website and an item 
named "JPCP". Since PRCP meant Plutonia Revisited Community Project, 
I thought the JPCP meant it would be a Japanese community Project. 
I got really excited, since I could show my maps there. 
Slightly off-topic, it's been about nine years since I started 
using Doom editors.......Like DeepSea and Doombuilder. I gained 
confidence that my maps hold good in the world by taking part 
in JPCP. Someday,I'd like to make a PWAD called "Water Spirit". 
Until then, See you. Bye.

A megawad from Japanese community? I couldn't help taking part 
in this project. My map was inspired by Blood. I would like to 
adopt map 2 or later in blood, but I did emphasize Doom-style, 
though I don't think I can do it well. I also provided some music 
which are rush works to this project. 

Some long maps in the project seemed to be proceeded with difficulty, 
but they were worth spending much time. They are pretty exciting.  
Especially, burabojunior is a vital mapper in the project. 
I send praise to him. Besides, Toooooasty's map08 and Kurashiki's 
map 15 are also very impressive. 

I thank Tatsurd-Cacocaco for inviting me and many others.


Namsan
=======
Blowing up demons with rockets are always FANTASTIC, so 
I made this map. And yes, I love beds. I love huge beds.
If you still wondering about purpose of that secret area, 
you may need to play 2002 A DOOM ODYSSEY's E2M5. ;)


Yullie
=======
This is my first time mapping. Thank you for playing my poor maps.
I have been playing DOOM for about 20 years, but I had never had 
an interest in mapping until I found JPCP recruitment. Had it not 
been for this opportunity, I never would have make a map, I think. 
I appreciate Mr. Tatsurd and JPCP members. Now I found amusement 
of mapping, so someday I would like to present my new map in any way.

I hope DOOM will never be forgottenc


Guna
=====
I was allowed to participate for the first time doom project.
Since it made a map for the project this is the first time, 
it was hard enough to make a single map. However, map-making 
of doom was found also be fun if you get used to it. 
I was surprised at the high quality of the map of the other person, 
but to hear your impressions from various people, also became the 
study of in making the map. If there is a next work of this project, 
we want to participate again. I am allowed to participate, thank you!


Masa
=====
This is the first time to join the community mapping project. 
I used to make doom maps by myself but now I could be a member 
of the community! yay!

Thanks for everyone, who gives me any comments or test-play on 
my maps. Hopefully I can release my new project soon when 
I have more time.
