Title : The Castle
Filename : CASTLE.WAD
Author : Brent Hedden
Email Address : heddenb@po.sweet.wy.us
Misc. Author Info : I hope you enjoy this as much as I had
fun (yea, right!) making it. This wad
is HUGE in case you didn't notice. This
is due to replacing every except for 3
of the sounds, many 'new' wall
textures, three new pieces of music
(two I wrote), some new sprites
including the chaingun, BFG, former
human to name a few, ect.....
Description : Somehow getting inside an old English
castle, you must find you way out to
freedom. Can you survive the
underground maze? Will you get out
alive?
================================================================
* Play Information *
Episode and Level # : E1M1
Single Player : Yes
Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes
Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes
Difficulty Settings : Not implemented
New Sounds : Of course!
New Graphics : Yup - MANY new wall textures, some
sprites, and I even gave the face on the stats box a goatee (heh, heh), but
only if you've got 100% health.
New Music : 2 original pieces, and a very nice
arrangement of 'We are the champions'
by Queen. The music was written
for the general MIDI standard setup.
I don't know how it will sound using
another sound board setup
(probably pretty shitty!).
Demos Replaced : 1st - If you actually have the patience
to watch the demo, you will find out
how to get all three keys - but I call
it cheating if you do :]
* Construction *
Base : New level from scratch
Editor(s) used : Waded , DoomCAD, Deutex - I also used
Sequencer Plus Gold and Cubase to write
the music, and Pain Shop Pro 3 for
graphics manipulation.
Known Bugs : One of the wall looks fucked up in the
maze section - I couldn't figure it
out, but that's not a big deal. BIG
DEAL - for some odd reason I can't
figure out, the monsters in the
courtyard can shoot you through the
walls, just don't stand in one place
for very long.

Credit where credit is due -
Kevin L. Roels - for the incredible Mansion WAD. I was able to
pull out the flag and armor colums, BFG and
chaingun sprites, and a couple of sounds.
Dominique Lavergne - Fortcstl WAD. I was able to use the stained
glass and spider web textures.
Dan Teeter - Surreal2 WAD. I used a couple of the sounds and a
wall texture.
Snider - Vivaldi WAD. Some of the sounds and a wall texture I
beleive.
Steve McCrea - Trinity WAD. The rock textures, and the arch
texture (I modified the arch a bit to fit in my
WAD.)
John Jacobsen - three of his paintings. As agreement with him, I
must post his statement, copyright notice, and a
description of each piece I used.
ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My work is an attempt to give a concrete aspect to the
subconscious. I typically work without a preconcieved plan,
letting layers of marks suggest forms and relationships much like
a Rorschach ink-blot test. When I work this way I generally see
figures, human or otherwise, faces, landscape elements, and
monolithic buildings or technological constructions. Working
loosely at first and then tighter and tighter, adding more and
more detail, allows the image to emulate a dream-state. In this
way, events are imagined in detail but are ambiguous, confusing
or fantastic in meaning. Letting the work evolve in this way
allows the unexpected to come in, and the surprises, for me, are
exciting insights into the workings of my inner mind. I make a
living as a physicist/programmer while sneaking time to do my
art. This show is an attempt to bring those two very different
halves of my life together a bit. In the future I would like to
explore "art under the influence of computer networking" in a way
that takes into account the fact that it is very different to
download a scanned image of a painting than to see the same
painting in a gallery, or to actually hold it in your hands. For
the moment this show is more a vehicle to get my art seen than an
actual essential element of the artwork itself.

By Walter confetti · PostedA really frantic and fun DM map with pretty neat stuff like invisible pillar in the middle of the arena, doesn't have anything to do with the title but the level can become a BFG spamming fest soon, especially with bots. Less fun in SP but the arch-ville+bunch of nazi combo is a nice feat.
By Fireseth · PostedOnly six enemies (played on UV) and no working exit. Other than that, it is a pretty detailed map for 1995. I enjoyed the general design and the poisonous vats of acid. Very cool, but not practical for good gameplay. EDIT: Just discovered this is a ideally a DM wad… haha, for that purpose, it seems good. My original rating was 2/5, will change it now.
By CravenCoyote · PostedLots of traps and monster closets. Some switches are activated by shooting but there's nothing to really tell you about this because they look the same as other switches. Texturing is good and enemy placement proved rather difficult at times. There aren't may health pickups on UV so it was a fight to get through.
By costadevale · PostedIt's pretty good for 1994. If you don't mind having no health items at all (except in a few maps) and the outrageous amounts of cyberdemons per map, you should give it a try. It's pretty challenging and I like it. E2M3 is a bit 'eh...' though.
By entropy122 · PostedWhat the actual f*ck is this map. I love having 4 rockets, a shit ton of bullets and like 10 shotgun shells to take out a revenant, and whatever was in that cage. Doesn't look too bad, maybe this negativity is cus im no expert, also rather unskilled at the game?
