Misc. Author Info       : Check out my web page to know more about me and my maps. I've been playing DN3D since its release
                          and started mapping for it in 2001 - something I had already been fantasizing about for a while
                          without ever taking the time to get to learning how to it. I'm a big fan of the original DN3D
                          spirit with all its easter eggs and caustic humor, and proud to be trying to keep it alive as
                          years go by so the game retains what made its success and never turns into something dull.

Released maps by me	: Happy Hangover, the AMC Pleaser, Roch Island, Rural Nightmare, Filler, Overtime, the old Anarchy
                          City series and much more, all available at my site, so once again, check it out if you happen to
                          be interested.

Description             : Duke is at home watching TV and enjoying a few beers, not letting himself being distracted by the
                          explosions that can be heard outside - if that's a new alien attack going on, it can always wait
                          until his movie is finished. Not feeling ready for some action quite yet and satisfyingly wallowed
                          on his couch, Duke lets his empty beer can fall to the ground and extends his arm to grab a new
                          one - wait a second. No, there really isn't any beer can left in his reach. 'Damn', he mutters, as
                          he struggles against his own will of staying immobile and letting things happen in a purely nihi-
                          listic kind of fashion, to drag himself off the couch to the kitchen fridge as a desperate attempt
                          to sustain his now instinctive alcoholic needs. But just as he opens the door, a traumatizing
                          surprise awaits him...

                          So yeah, this is another fucking city map at night. It probably features the most easter eggs that
                          were ever thrown into a single map (besides my own and some maps by the Oostrum brothers), I had
                          a lot of fun working on this one and truthfully hope noone will get offended by some of the private
                          jokes (because it has happened in the past...) - I just think that Duke needs to be cynical to stay
                          the game we all know and love.

                          SOME IMPORTANT INFO NOW : the gameplay in this map is rather special, and quite unlinear. Basically
                          -----------------------   you need to find and activate FIVE switches scattered everywhere in the
                          (  contains spoilers  )   map in order to unlock your way out. You will also have to find the spot
                                                    where all the keycards are located and regularly go back and visit it as
                                                    you unlock all the red doors (since you can only carry one key at once),
                                                    despite the beast(s ?) that guards (guard ?) them. Speaking of which, I
                                                    would strongly recommend not to even try to fight it (them ?), just run
                                                    for your life and conserve your precious ammo, you might need it later...

                                                    Since this map is very open and unlinear, remember to try climbing
                                                    everywhere if you get stuck, or if you find yourself in a painful
                                                    situation and need an emergency way out. You can get to the top of some
                                                    of the buildings by jumping against their walls, which I can only recom-
                                                    mend you to try if you're in the need of extra items or looking for
                                                    secret areas. Also, nothing is a given in this map - there are enough
                                                    health packs and items for you to survive, they're probably just not
                                                    sitting in front of your nose. Be sure to get out of your way sometimes
                                                    and explore around - most of the time your effort will be rewarded. 

                                                    Also let it be stated that this map has TWO possible exits - the regular
                                                    one, and a secret one. The secret one being very well hidden, I'm giving
                                                    you props in advance if you ever manage to find it without cheating.

                          this authoring template last, because it's my very personal guilty pleasure when I'm done working
                          my ass off on a custom level for a freaking video game - sorry to whoever reads this, I bet most of
                          you don't anyway. (LOLOL LOSERS)

=============================================================================================================================

* Play Information *

Episode and Level #     : #1 user map of both God AND Satan at the same time, now fucking beat that.
Single Player           : Nigga can be single fo' drizzle yo, an' be a playa too innit, shiz.
Cooperative 2-8 Player	: I forgot to throw in the player sprites so no, but feel free to do it yourself and call it a day.
DukeMatch 2-8 Player    : Same as above, have your fun. Fuck it dude, let's go bowling.
Difficulty Settings     : YUUUUUUS. Piece of Cake and Let's Rock are the same except the former one is for wussies. Come Get
                          Some has more enemies, tougher fights and one part of the map is, uuh, more occupied. Damn I'm Good
                          is just hell on Earth and will keep you on your toes the whole time because you won't get to rest
                          a single second anywhere, better make a wise use of those five pipebombs you get at the start...
                          This level is primarly intended to be played on Let's Rock, though.
New Sounds              : Yes, a couple of new voice clips, and about a minute of a bootlegged NOFX concert.
New Music               : Yes, from Perfect Dark.
New Graphics            : Nope.
New/changed CONs        : Yeah, to enable the new minibosses and shit.
Demos Replaced          : What year are you stuck in, 1996 ?

=============================================================================================================================

* Construction *

Base                    : New level from scratch.
Build Time              : About two months, on and off, mostly off.
Editor(s) used          : Mapster32 and JonoF Build (which I've now completely dropped... gotta live with the times)
Known Bugs / Problems   : None besides a couple of visual glitches here and there you might not even notice and are a
                          consequence of the limitations of the engine itself. Gameplay-wise everything should be good.
May Not Run With...     : Anything that's not Eduke32. You need a port to run this one since it bypasses the original Build
                          limits, and this map has too many sprites displayed at once for JonoF to handle it properly.
                          Also using the HRP might make look everything ugly as fuck (I don't know, I haven't tried, but
                          it often happens with maps that were primarily designed for classic mode), and was designed with
                          classic 8-bit play in mind so I hope everything still looks perfect in Polymost, if not then w/e.
