Official Release of "The Redux" a Remake of my old WAD "The Reason"

                         "The Redux" is a remake of my first ever map that
                          was posted online back in the year 2005 on the website "Doom Wad Station". It was
                          archaic, ugly, and contained a lot of visual errors
                          and horrible sounds that I had placed into it. I
                          didn't even know how to align textures right back
                          then but being only 13 at the time I guess it could
                          have been way worse. I am now 27 and have decided
                          to breathe new life into this map and make it
                          something that's actually worth playing.
                          This WAD contains the remake of the WAD as well as
                          the original featured as MAP02. That way you can switch between

                          the new version and the classic one and compare if you'd like!

                          I really hope that you like this because it's generally a showcase of
                          the advancement of my knowledge of WAD editing as a
                          whole thus far but most of all because I want you to have fun!

                          It's about time this map got it's proper justice! Please tell me if you like the new looks

                         and gameplay! I know my recent map was a "Snow map" as well,

                         but this one always was to begin with.

                          The Story
                          
                          IT was 15 years ago today. 15 years since the
                          breakthrough of the beasts that slayed all of my
                          friends. However, their deaths seemed selective, as
                          if I were spared purposely in order to remember the
                          power of those things and what ever was leading
                          them. There was a name written in blood on the
                          floor. I can't remember what it was. But I don't
                          think I'd want to. After many years of blocking out
                          memories of death and pain and sights no mortal man
                          should ever see, I had forgotten many details. This
                          is the account of my experience after enduring the
                          most vivid nightmare ever conceived.  The night I
                          saw it all again, in perfect clarity.....

@Clippy's gameplay and fantastic commentary

Found a bug in MAP01: imp thing 766 is stuck inside crate.

Ok thank you for letting me know. Did you like the map other wise?

It's pretty standard fare, I wouldn't mind playing 5 or 10 more maps like MAP01. The only thing I didn't like were the custom sounds and invisible monsters in MAP02. Oh, and Gzdoom reports these errors during startup:

Invalid data encountered for texture theredux.wad:UNTITLED
Texture 'UNTITLED' references itself as patch

Which is exactly why I remade it.

I'm working on a similar project. I'll give these a whirl real soon!

Lol I have no idea why that g is there

I was out in the country and had bad internet earlier and it was really hot

Anyway I played the remake and you did an absolutely spectacular job revamping this map and turning into something really entertaining to play versus my unfortunate run at the original. 

Great times this is the most fun I've had playing Doom in a while. Absolutely loved all the changes and the new finale was great

Good work I hope more people play it

I look forward to 2030 when you do the reredux

Thank you @Clippy I very much enjoyed both of your videos! I am so happy that you liked the remake so much!
