Description:	My best work ever, I'd have to say. I spent a good amount of time on lighting(or at least a lot of thought heh), architecture(something Dismemberment wasn't too strong in)and gasp texture alignment. The wad is also in two maps becuase WadEd decided that I shouldn't be able add the final area, so it's in a second map. It works out though, because the final area was going to be sealed off from the rest of the map anyway.
Credits:	id Software for their wonderful game which, without, I'd probably have higher grades in school ;) and TeamTNT for the BOOM engine. Also Nick Baker and the Surge Team for the snow graphics and Eugen Woiwod for the sky(which is a photograph I believe) ===============================================================
Base:	New level stolen from GothicDM 2 and graphics from Overload(heh, that's a joke for you slow guys again hehe).
Build time:	I actually had the start area about a month ago, I've only been working on it consistantly for about two weeks(give or take).
Editor(s) used:	WadED, WadAuthor, CLED, NWT and WARM
Bugs:	Probably texture misalignment if you really, really look(harder then I did even)but only because I missed it(oh man, did I just say that?) * Copyright / Permissions *

TimeOfDeath	cool map	x
Anonymous	No exit in map 2 !	x
Anonymous	Map01 is a solid, fun level set in an icy castle/dungeon. The design is simple and there's a fair amount of action, although it feels like a set of rooms one after the other, rather than a fluid whole. Minus a star for having slippery ice; a platform game cliche from the 1980s. There's one puzzle that's fiddly, and the cyberdemon pathway/maze is clever but very frustrating. Map02 is horrible - a small spider mastermind arena on slippery ice.	x
Anonymous	Legendary my ass, this is NOT cool. 3/2/07	x

Note                    : One puzzle may confuse you, but you really should
                          open your mind and remember that maybe you CAN
                          interact with the enviornment(that's a hint for
                          you slow folks).  Also, don't complain to me that
                          'the deep water hurts me!'  It's really cold water,
                          and you'd be hurt too.

New Graphics            : New sky and some ice and snow textures.
