Description:	A very short, linear hellish map. It was made about a year ago as a very short speedmap, and I hadn't bothered to finish it. Over a couple of weekends I completed it and made it look nice. Couldn't think of a better title, so I simply called it "Dark Fate 2".

Base:	d on a drawing I did of the Doom Marine (provided in the ZIP file!)
Build time:	A few weekends (on and off)

Nothing wrong with it. Rather a nice level. 3/2/08	x
This has an advert for a commentary track on YouTube, which is a nice idea. I remember a lot of hype about internet video in 1995/96, when people thought that full-screen video on demand was just around the corner - thanks to ISDN - and I wonder if this idea was tried back then. Still, the level is good fun, short and violent, not too hard, with some tricky cyber-dodging at the end. It looks good, plays good, and it's nutritious as well.	x
Pretty nice, if rather short and linear (as the author acknowledges). I did have a problem with the intermission screen. The alignments of the non-visible graphics replacements cause an error in Doom-plus. Their alignment should be 0 0. Fix that and it's fine! ~Chain Mail [2/5] (04/2008)	x

Misc. Author Info       : 25 year old Doomer from India, for more
                          info, have a look at my site 
                          http://karthik82.com.  There's lots of stuff
                          over there, both Doom and non-Doom related.

Description             : A very short, linear hellish map.  It was made
                          about a year ago as a very short speedmap, and
                          I hadn't bothered to finish it.  Over a couple
                          of weekends I completed it and made it look
                          nice.  Couldn't think of a better title, so
                          I simply called it "Dark Fate 2".

Story                   : Do you really need one for a map this small?
                          After fighting off the monsters in "Dark Fate"
                          you entered the exit teleporter and ended up
                          here.  Damn, another hellish area!  Will this
                          never end?

"DVD" Extras!           : - I recorded a "Commentary Video" for this level
                            which has me playing the map on my laptop and
                            talking about it.  It's more for non-Doomers
                            (this is a very simple map, you don't need a
                            walkthrough), but you might be interested in
                            watching too.  It's a ten-minute video, and
                            you can view it here:

                            * The drawing which was used to make the
                              titlepic (I call it "Blazing Gunz").
