Author Info : Decided to make a Heretic wad after making my vanilla compatible Doom2 wad F.O.B. I originally was going to make this wad vanilla compatible as well, however, I had a change of heart. I wanted to do more detailed sector art and doom-cute stuff. I knew I had to give up on my vanilla compatible dreams when I tried to use the visplane tool and Ultimate Doom Builder crashed on me. I took that as a sign from the heavens. Something you may notice is that the mapping format is Heretic: Heretic (Doom Format), why? By the time I decided to change my mind on vanilla compatibility I also decided not to change my mapping format to something more limit removing. I make this decision because I was worried what might happen if I changed my mapping format in the middle of making maps. So, I figured I would just carry on with the Doom mapping format. Description : A neophyte to a philosopher Buried in sacred tomes Scrolls unbound are now clear From master to apprentice a bond is forged Young to old, a cycle continues The gluttony of knowledge will find itself gorged The skies grow dark and the clouds thick A scent of sulfur molests the air Demonic figures from the dark, imbued with foul magic The master knows his time has come A smile shot to the apprentice And a tear shed for the old soul's plum Young neophyte, go now and live Die not by my side stubbornly Push back the evils in the dark And learn to forgive the misbegotten Grab your staff, my apprentice Don your cloak with zeal Save the people of these graceful lands And may the retribution of the heavens be momentous Additional Credits to : Raven Software, James Paddock, and the other artists who all contributed to the Raven MIDI Pack.

Therefore, boss fights are gonna be a little odd. The way I did bosses is rather primitive. I have the boss arena and then a sector leading to the exit that will open after some time. It is possible that the sector will open before you have killed the boss. I trust you guys have the self control not to just rush straight to the exit, right?
