Briefing

 

We don't know where they came from, but the city is gone. They are trying to gain access to a sensitive data cache in the local UAC HQ. Your objective is to destroy this cache. 

 

Don't worry, you don't need a techie, just a rocket launcher.

 

It is recommended you enter the HQ ASAP; your basic credentials will gain you access to the armory. You will need to find the rest of the access keys -- they stole them in an attempt to slow us down. 

 

You are not to be slowed down.

 

Author's Note

 

This map was done as a break from a big GZDoom project that I've been working on solid since my first map. It was first going to be in vanilla compatibility, but needing some extra options I thought it would be a good opportunity to try out Boom, voodoo scripting and play a bit with DEHACKED.

Not Bad thanks for sharing maybe some ammo pickups in the big outside area are needed.

This was from my stream tonight. I really enjoyed this wad. However, I do feel like the pacing became tedious with the usage of the HQ but this did seem intentional. I also really enjoyed how each key puzzle was a different thing. Also, the intestine room was amazing. The ending is what really shined. I kept expecting one thing but got another. Good Job, and there was definitely shown effort. Keep it up!

I playtest this at 1 hour and 3 minutes (1:03:35) into this livestream. I got a bit of a Scypek2-esque vibe with some of the zaniness on display here.
