================================================================ Title : Scarves Author : Andrew Scarvell Email Address : ascarvel@pcug.org.au Misc. Author Info : Known to like playing DOOM. DESCRIPTION KILL, KILL, AND KILL SOME MORE. This level was originally designed with single player or co-op in mind. I only added deathmatch capability later as an afterthought. Nonetheless, it is quite playable in deathmatch. Puzzle wads really shit me off!! All that happens is you die 30 times trying to work out what combination to press the buttons (or whatever), and then never look at it again. I love playing DOOM, and I like new walls and doors in the same way that I like new scenery. What I had in mind when I started designing this level was something to give a challenge to the most seasoned DOOM player. I believe that I have succeeded. This level does have it's fair share of tricks and traps, but basically I see them as just being new ways of introducing beasties onto unsuspecting (or just complacent) players. Words of warning appear below: 1) The level gets tough from the word go. Now you can't say that I didn't warn you. 2) If it looks like a trap, then it probably is. NB - I design traps to KILL, not just scare. If you get killed the first time (and you probably will), don't get too discouraged. Shit happens. 3) a big APOLOGY to those people who hate it when wad authors use darkness excessively as a way of making mosters nastier. My darkened maze area has been known to piss the play testers off, but in consideration of this there are two (2) sets of light amp. goggles available. Both are very hard to get. One is obvious (just don't get killed), and the other is in a secret area that shows up on the computer map. 4) If you can't find the red key, don't despair - it isn't hidden, probably just disguised by monster bodies. Go and have another look. 5) If you think that it is too hard, then play it on an easier level. 'Hurt Me Plenty' is about equivalent to standard 'Ultra Violence'. Don't feel ashamed - even I die about 50% of the time.
