Author:	Douglas Ryerson
Description:	: Check out the psychodelic titlepic graphic replacement! This is a rather large level based on three large government-style buildings surrounded by pavement and grass. Lots of monsters, ammo and health for a continuous fight.
Credits:
Base:	New level from scratch
Build time:	Too much time!
Editor(s) used:	dck 2.0 (bsp 1.2x), Wintex33
Bugs:	Presence of two impassable linedefs at the height of two nearby windows in one room. These lines are not visible in the editor, nor did I draw them. They do occur in the game though. It was well into the design of the level when I discovered them and so was too late. I rearranged the objects in the game so that this problem will have little effect on the outcome and playability. DCK is a fairly stable editor and I assume that the lines arose as a result of an error in the editing program.

Reviews:

Anonymous	Great architecture and layout. But it's too easy, so play with -fast monsters if you normally use UV (otherwise just choose higher skill level).	x
Anonymous	The design is good, the problem is that there is too much ammunition, too easy. 3/5	x
Anonymous	Meh. Not bad for '95 3/5	x
Anonymous	-good useage of textures paints a high quality environment in the classical doom engine. -lots of monsters, something I like. 5/5 The author is my flash teacher in college.	x

Misc. Author info.      : this is my 15th level (2nd for Doom][). The
                          title for it comes from the fact that I have
                          seen other wads named bastard, wanton, etc.
                          and so I thought I would contribute to this
                          wad naming genre. (what a lame reason!)

Feedback is appreciated, especially about
                          the difficulty and/or the layout. I am interested
                          to know what you think about the layout, the
                          choice of textures, set up of rooms, traps, etc.
                          In terms of difficulty, I am only one guy and
                          so it is not easy to judge the difficulty of the
                          level. Too easy, too hard?
