Size:	2.31 MB
Date:	05/27/03
Author:	Stephen Clark (The Ultimate DooMer!)
Description:	This is a playable demo of it, with the first 2 zones (4 maps). I decided to release a demo because a lot of the features are experimental in nature, so I decided that getting feedback would be important, as it could help improve the megamod, and iron out any potential problems, particularly in the gameplay.
Credits:	The makers of DooM, ZDoom, it's editors and all those levels. Espi (author of narcosis.wad) for the new grass/soil flats and a couple of tree sprites (narcosis.txt included as requested). Also to everyone on the Doomworld and ZDoom forums that helped me out when I asked questions on how to do various things.
Base:	My creative mind (And lots of inspiration from a wide variety of sources)
Build time:	long.
Editor(s) used:	WadAuthor, WinTex, DeHackEd, DeePsea, Paint, PSP, AudioRack.
Bugs:	It's possible to pick up the red armour when you already have 50% or more, so be careful.

Misc. Author Info       : A hardcore DooMer who loves all it's similar
			  games (esp. Quake 2, Half-Life and Unreal) but still
			  thinks DooM is best.

Description             : This is a playable demo of it, with the first 2 zones (4 maps).
			  I decided to release a demo because a lot of the features are 
			  experimental in nature, so I decided that getting feedback would 
			  be important, as it could help improve the megamod, and iron out 
			  any potential problems, particularly in the gameplay.

Important Note		: To reduce the file size to a minimum, I have taken out all the 
			  resources that are not used in the first 2 zones.  I have also 
			  removed all the unused stuff from the data lumps, to avoid 
			  giving away any spoilers.  That's why the wad appears to be a 
			  little on the thin side.

Additional Credits To:    The makers of DooM, ZDoom, it's editors and all those levels.
			  Espi (author of narcosis.wad) for the new grass/soil flats 
			  and a couple of tree sprites (narcosis.txt included as requested).
			  Also to everyone on the Doomworld and ZDoom forums that helped
			  me out when I asked questions on how to do various things.

		     Super Sonic DooM - Special Features (more to come later!)
==============================================================================

Zones			: There are 2 zones in this demo, each with 2 acts (maps) in them.
			  The full version will have 15 zones plus 2 hidden bonus stages!

Bosses			: In true Sonic fashion, each act has a boss at the end of it.
			  The act 1 bosses will be tough monster-based challenges, and 
			  the act 2 bosses will be more Sonic-like, and you will have 
			  to shoot a target 8 times to defeat them.

Springs			: Also in true Sonic fashion, there are springs in all the maps.
			  Just walk into them (wall-mounted) or onto them (floor-based) 
			  and fly through the air!  There are two types of spring - the
			  yellow ones are weaker, and the red ones are stronger.

Monitors		: These act like those in the Sonic games - jump on them and 
			  you'll get a reward.  There are six types of monitor:
			  Health (10%), Armour (10%), Radiation suit, Invisibility, 
			  Extra Life (megasphere) and the good old Invincibility.

Health			: The health system is a little different here.  It is found in 
			  potions (1%), health monitors (10%), golden potions (50%), 
			  berserk packs (100%) and megaspheres (200%).
			  All can take it above 100% (except the berserk)

Armour			: The armour system is similar.  It is found in helmets (1%), 
			  armour monitors (10%), red armour suits (50%), green armour 
			  suits (100%) and megaspheres (200%).

New Enemies		: There are over 50 different enemies in Super Sonic DooM - but 
			  only 3 of the new enemies are present in this demo.

Breakable Consoles	: Many of the consoles, computers, monitors, displays etc.
			  can be smashed with one shot.  Just for fun.

Security Cameras	: These are banks of small monitors on the walls.  To operate them, 
			  simply walk up to them and press 'use'. To stop viewing, simply 
			  move away from them.  Unlike consoles, cameras are unbreakable.

Dehacked/BEX Features	: Six different coloured keycards instead of three.
			  And of course, a whole load of new enemies! (only 3 in the demo)

ZDoom Features		: Swimmable water, slopes, ambient sounds, current, mud, ACS scripts 
			  (more features to come in the full version!).
