Title : Godless 3: Kevorkian Litanies
A Berry Creek Software Production
Filename : GODLESS3.WAD
Author : Chris Bilski and Blain Newport

Misc. Author Info : Still think DOOM DM is the most fun
you can have with a PC.
Description : 8 levels of DM fun.
Godless 3 is a step back from the
insanity of Godless 2. Most of the
levels are somewhat larger and easier
to get around in. They're still
slaughterfests with four players, but
with two, you can actually have
hunting / stalking matches on most of
the maps.
Additional Credits to : Id Software
John Carmack deserves special thanks
for his commitment to the community
and technical idealism most recently
demonstrated by the release of the
DOOM source code.

The DOOM community. From what I've
seen in Usenet, there's occasional
infighting and cliquishness, but
overall, I'm proud of the effort the
remaining groups and individuals
continue to put into DOOM.
And finally, a special thanks to the
hackers. Id never intended for users
to make their own DOOM levels. I
just can't express how grateful I am
to those people who hacked out their
secrets. You changed the gaming
world forever. And thanks again to
Id Software. You chose to nurture
what most people would have sicked
a pack of lawyers on. In your own
way, you are heroes.

thwarted time and time again.
Will he ever claim his prize?

for Longer Than Nature Intended
on one of Godless 3's most brutal
maps.
* Construction *
Base : New levels from scratch
Actually the first map's rocket alcoves
were cut and pasted from MAP01. In
addition, numerous structural ideas
were taken from the DWELLER, DANZIG,
and KANDY wad compilations.
Editor(s) used : DCK 2.2 (still the best)
DEUTEX (also still the best)
WARM, Win95 PaintBrush, and
NeoPaint (UR)
Known Bugs : E1M1 slime bug has been noted on
Map 8 and probably occurs elsewhere
as this wad contains a few Pentium
Optimized levels (lots of visible
sidedefs and linedefs). Any others
that slipped through should be
reported immediately.
Who Made What MAP01 Bloodbath Terraces Blain
MAP02 The Training Facility Chris
MAP03 Concrete Ordeal Chris
MAP04 Load House Blain
MAP05 A Maniac's Eden Chris
MAP06 The Engagement Zone Chris
MAP07 The Marble Trench Blain
MAP08 Explosion Central Chris
Chris did lots of dress up on Bloodbath Terraces. (Blain's new
PC disliked DOOM to the point where he had to reformat a few
times. He's learning to work around that.)

You've reached the end of yet another of Blain's Interminable
Text Files. If you're this much of a glutton for punishment,
go read my DM Philosophy articles on the Berry Creek DeathMatch
site. (The URL is 6 lines up.) And send me some email. As
far as I know, only one person we didn't cajole has played our
wads.
