Description:	Dereliction Derby is a single map release that was a result of being inspired by a number of more modern projects such as Eviternity, Bloodstain, Valiant, and so forth. The desire was to create a stand-alone release that made some use of these modern stylings, especially by making use of Boom features, to create something that has a constant feel of pressure and higher action, while also being detailed enough to make it seem like a real place rather than the most abstract stylings of a lot of Doom fare. This is only the first map I have ever made, so not everything will be perfect, obviously, but I put a lot of time and effort into trying to make something fun that also looks nice. Notably, both the main map and the epilogue map are fully set-up for Deathmatch if you are so inclined. MAP01 is restricted to a small section of the map to keep it even remotely playable.

Description             : Dereliction Derby is a single map release that
			  was a result of being inspired by a number of
			  more modern projects such as Eviternity,
			  Bloodstain, Valiant, and so forth.

The desire was to create a stand-alone release
			  that made some use of these modern stylings,
			  especially by making use of Boom features, to
			  create something that has a constant feel of
			  pressure and higher action, while also being
			  detailed enough to make it seem like a real
			  place rather than the most abstract stylings of
			  a lot of Doom fare.

This is only the first map I have ever made, so
			  not everything will be perfect, obviously, but I
			  put a lot of time and effort into trying to make
			  something fun that also looks nice.

Notably, both the main map and the epilogue map
			  are fully set-up for Deathmatch if you are so
			  inclined. MAP01 is restricted to a small section
			  of the map to keep it even remotely playable.
			  
Changelog               : Version 1.5
			  - Remodeled monster closets (hopefully no more stuck)
			  - Adjusted closet timings to account for the removal
			    of conveyor belts to give enemies time to walk instead
			  - Used control sectors to smooth some jank and get
				rid of deafening floor lowering noise for certain traps
			  - Made a few more rails able to be climbed over for the
			    sake of better flow. Especially in the Hanger area.
			  - Added an extra box of shells to the Helipad
			  - Added extra rockets to the final fight
			  - Removed the only 2 Lost Souls
			  - Changed raising bars for the initial outdoor area to
				be crushing to avoid stuck enemies breaking them
			  - Increased the size of the two switches to lower said
			    bars to make them less clumsy to press
			  - Removed damaging floor effect from all small nukage
			    spills, only leaving the main large pit in tact.
			  - Fixed minor texture alignment issues
			  - Increased the level of detail in the large, outdoor
				areas to provide less flat overall lighting
			  - Added further details to coax players towards the
				Super Shotgun in the medbay
			  - Some Automap tidying up

Special Thanks          : Special thanks to all of my playtesters for
			  helping me iron out some of the rougher parts of
			  the map such as making use of Fake Floors to
			  make dips in the map and railings flow better,
			  and, of course, for smoothing out combat balance.
