If you recognize something by me that isn't listed here, it's probably because I'm too embarrased to talk about it.			  	 

Misc. Author Info       : I still exist. Thanks for wading through the block of text above.

Description: First entry in a series of small vanilla doom maps in a space adventure built off personal nostalgia. Each entry consists of a two short maps: an introductory monsterless map with a single secret to find before tackling the mission, and the main map itself. I release them in the order they are made, but the difficulty depends on the map. This marble-themed map is one of the harder ones in the series so far. It was based on my map 18 from Odamex Nitro, but the layout (particularly the perimiter around the central shrine), has changed quite a bit for the single player version. It's a sorta free-roaming level in which all weapons are available, if you know where to find them.

Today's Plot: And so Our Hero's quest for his partner begins. First planetoid to catch his glimpse is a blue marble with what appears to be a solitary island housing a shrine. He's not sure what the local beliefs are, but when he sees that the deities have horns, he knows what to expect. Better make this quick!

Everyday's Plot: Channel 8 is a ruckus! Earth's hero has hijacked a UAC vessel named "Margie" and blasted off toward a forbidden sector of space to save his old military instructor/Indigo coop buddy from the hellspawn remnant! The demons have chosen a strange place to grow their numbers...a deserted quadrant filled with small planetoids floating in a hallucinogenic gas known as Nebula 95.
