This is a beta for testing before i upload it to Idgames. I want to make sure there are no serious bugs, even though i've tested the maps about 4 times each before uploading.

The download link doesn't work.

"This file has been deleted.
Reason: THIS FILE IS FORBIDDEN TO BE SHARED! Complaints received".

Here's the New Link. I have no idea what people are complaining about, its not like its a million megs.

You spelled Abaddon wrong.

Fixed, lol.

I wouldn't have a 'soul leeched' message every time you pick one up (keep the sound though). Also, 'end' should be 'and' in the final text.

I worked long and hard to find all secrets in map01, but after I had found 5 of 7, I just couldn't give a shit anymore and moved on to map02. :p

I checked out episode 2 briefly. And although I don't like how you ripped Hexen and Heretic in that, I must say that I like it's atmosphere better than the first episode. Which still is pretty fine. Reminding me of Twice Risen a bit.

Episode 2 is much better than Episode 1.

I don't have tried the wad yet but I'm gonna react on it.

Many famous maps (some maps from Eternal Doom and Alien Vandetta) featured some Heretic / Hexen material (music or textures). I don't care of what material is used on a map, even if I may become tired of wads without any new graphs, unless they are admittedly "vintage" (ie E1 or E2 style).

Episode 2 is new. Episode one is just the old old version with added details. Lol.

Yeah, I need to remove some of the secrets in map01. As for ripping hexen, If you're talking about the weapons, they well eventually all be replaced with my own sprites. Gotta love the Hexen textures, though.

I'm guessing those extra monsters and weapons will be for episode 3.

Most, yes. Some will be fore episode 4. The others are just hellstorm mosnters I made. I really dont want that mod to die off completely, so I started to resprite all the monsters. I used to be on the developement team before it was abbandoned. I will use many of the hellstorm monsters (aside from the cultists).

Amazing mod.

Top quality here, great maps, great monsters, great weapons. The final battle is a bitch because of the lava, but overall, this is a supreme mod.

There is a secret that gives powerup to protect you from that. But I wont tell you how to find it. ^_^
