- File :"blacktwr.wad"
- Author : Sverre Andre Kvernmo ("Cranium" in the arena!)
- Setting : Ok, here's the plot: Kick Butt!
- Gripping, isn't it? In case you are a little more
- into story-lines you can keep reading.
- This and the other of my wads were to be released
- inside a 32-level "episode" on the internet. But
- having id release them is about 666 times cooler.
- The plot in the intended episode was as follows:
- You once were the biggest and baddest Cyber-demon to
- rule hell and you spear-headed the council that
- governed the underworld; "the Cabal". Betrayed by the
- other members you find yourself not only dismantled,
- but also a victim of the utmost demonic humiliation:
- You've been morphed into a human! Of course you're
- out for revenge and have to kick the other members of
- the Cabal's butts one by one.
-
- In "Black Tower" you're nearing the end of your
- journey. You and Chagrin, the ruler of the Black
- Tower, came off the same conveyor belt as newly
- assembled cyber-demons a few thousand years back.
- "Oil runs thicker than blood" the two of you used to
- say. Demons don't come much closer to friendship than
- what you and Chagrin shared. Well now your buddy
- rules the hordes of hell previously under your
- command and have left you for dead. Your task is
- simple: Enter the dreaded Black Tower, the nucleus of
- black magic and the occult in all of Hell, get to
- its highest floor and slay Chagrin. Then there is the
- getting back out as well...

- Credits : The whole of id Software for DOOM & DOOM II.
- Andrew (& Mark) Cornes, Gregory "Acoma" Hyne,
- Peter "Pete" Ripley, David "Macca" Mccandless,
- Bj¢rnar Johansen, Baard Zachariassen and
- Stian Danielsen for playtesting, viewpoints,
- help, enthusiasm and for being mad bastards.
- Oh, and Erling Paulsen for managing to convince me
- that there was such a thing as a full fledged
- Doom-editor, back in early 94. Os!
- A brand new BFG goes out to Geoff Allan (DOOMed),
- Raphael Quinet (DEU), Olivier Montanuy (DeuTex) and
- Colin Reed (BSP) plus whoever put together idBSP.
- Shawn Green for including me in the project.
- Last but never least to all other WAD-designers who
- have lost themselves in the worlds of tag numbers,
- upper textures and vertexes as badly as me,
- particularily the other designers that worked on this
- add-on. Looking forwards to play your wads dudes!
- Deathmatch
- bad-arse credits: Macca, Hunter, Woah, Loki and Pete. You can walk over
- my melted bodies anytime. Don't hang around that
- corner for too long though. I'll silently BFG your
- butt!

- * Play Information *

- The Express Elevator to Hell (teeth.wad)
- Level Replaced : Map 25
-
-
- * Construction *
-
- Base : An obsessive personality, lotsa caffeine and lotsa
- nicotine.:Q A twisted mind doesn't hurt either.
- An additional credit should go out to those wad-
- designers that have inspired me greatly through their
- work. I don't know all their names, but the names of
- their WADs should suffice. Hail the hall of fame:
- "Nukemine" (old I know, but the supreme numero uno
- at it's hayday)
- "Castle of the Renegades". Best castle-type wad I've
- seen.
- "Eternity"
- "Dante's Gate"
- The secret level in the AlienDoom episode was groovy
- as well, and "Cleimos" had some nice touches.
- Build Time : Don't ask, really! First baby steps at "wadding"
- taken in the summer of 94. Almost dropped out of
- university for this bloody obsession. One reason for
- surviving was that I handed in a wad of my campus as
- one of my projects. <G>
- I would guess that I on average spend about 130 hours
- on each wad. And it's not because I work slow :)
- Editor(s) used : DoomED 4, DEU2, BSP1.1, DeepBSP and idBSP.
- Bugs : No way. Shawn has plucked them all out and forced
- me to eat them. I hate you if you find some! ;)
-
- Hope you enjoy the wad.
