Title : The Hazard Variation
Date Finished : 12 Aug 2007
Author : Karthik Abhiram
Email Address : karthik82@gmail.com
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 : This is a map that was created in 2003 as
"E4M1: First Gate" for the project "The
Ninth Gate". However, as that project remained
incomplete, this map was never released. Now
that the maps from the project are being
released individually, you can now play what
would have opened that episode, retitled as
"The Hazard Variation"!
I actually made another E4M1 back in 2001 for
the project but as that was too primitive, it
was discarded and replaced with this. I am
eventually planning to release an updated
version of that map as well.
This present map is one that I am really
proud of. I think it turned out nicely in
both the looks as well as gameplay department.
It's quite an easy map as it was supposed to
be the first level in an episode. Still,
I think the pacing of the level is good and
I hope you'll have fun playing it!
