Description:	Lacking time and ideas, I decided to build a small and simple level. In the end, though, the map has turned not so small and simple, and I believe that it'll keep you playing 20-30 minutes. I didn't want to make another futurist map about invaded UAC bases and all the other commonplaces. So I improvised something with Doom's organic textures and a trippy sky. The result is maybe a little shocking, but if you've pla- yed my other maps Hachisch and Peyote you'll recognize fast the style. Be warned: this map is named "Mescaline", but it plays more like cocaine...
Credits:	Anarko for playtesting. The demos were recorded with him. The sky is a modification from another that came from an Eric Harris map. Don't remember which one.
Base:	New level from scratch.
Build time:	About a month.
Editor(s) used:	Yadex 1.7.901, ZenNode 1.2.1, NWTPro 1.4, The Gimp, Scratch.
Bugs:	Sometimes, in Zdoom, the music only plays one time and doesn't loop.

Reviews:

Anonymous	For such a small wad: interesting, original layout. Short but nice gameplay @ UV. Decoration is simple but ok. Secrets are too simple to call them secrets. Overall: 3.7/5 --> 4.	x
Anonymous	Quite a nice level that proves (once again) that the Eye "has it". Very much disagree with the previous reviewer on fugliness, but it's true that it's a fairly vertical level. Enjoyed it, 3.5/5 - ZZ	x
Anonymous	It's sorta fugly. It looks a little like those old Contra levels in the brain spaceship. Also, a lot of the action is looking down, and enemies you can't see can potshot you. 3/5 - WhaleBarf	x

Description	: Lacking time and ideas, I decided to build a small and
		    simple level. In the end, though, the map has turned not
		    so small and simple, and I believe that it'll keep you
		    playing 20-30 minutes.
		  I didn't want to make another futurist map about invaded
		    UAC bases and all the other commonplaces. So I improvised
		    something with Doom's organic textures and a trippy sky.
		    The result is maybe a little shocking, but if you've pla-
		    yed my other maps Hachisch and Peyote you'll recognize
		    fast the style.
		  Be warned: this map is named "Mescaline", but it plays more
		    like cocaine...

Plot		: There are troubles in Hell. The low-class demons have revol-
	 	    ted against the government of the Big Cybernetic Spider
		    --called also "Mastermind", by her supporters at least--,
		    president for life of the Infernal Republic. They demand
		    democratic reforms and a more equitable sharing of human
                    sacrifices.
		  Of course, the human press started immediately to write
		    cheesy articles about a "Hell Spring", with "spontaneous
		    meetings between imps and cacodemons, that discuss freely
		    Hell's political future"... But Big Spider has another
		    point of view: her subjects need a reminder about who is
		    in charge. There is only one problem: her police forces
		    are also in turmoil.
		  Big Spider knowns what to do, thanks to that trolley-sized
		    brain the Hell gods gave to her. With her psychic powers,
		    she contacted Blackwater, that human corporation devoted
		    to "security" --read, mercenaries-- that achieved everlas-
		    ting fame with its perfomance in Irak. And Blackwater, for
		    a non-disclosed price, has sent its best man to pacify
		    Hell.
		  Of course, you are that man.

Descripci�n	: Estaba falto de ideas y de tiempo, as� que decid� no com-
                plicarme la vida y construir un escenario peque�o y sencillo.
                Al final, claro, ha terminado siendo no tan peque�o ni sim-
                ple, y creo que os mantendr� entretenidos cosa de 20 o 30 mi-
                nutos.
                  Como no me apetec�a hacer el en�simo mapa futurista sobre
                bases de la UAC que son invadidas y dem�s t�picos, se me ocu-
                rri� improvisar algo con las texturas org�nicas de Doom y un
                cielo bastante alucin�geno. Y el resultado tal vez sea un po-
                co chocante, pero los que hay�is jugado mis otros niveles Ha-
                chisch y Peyote reconocer�is pronto el estilo.
                  Ojo, el mapa se llama "Mescalina", pero tiene un ritmo m�s
                parecido al de la coca�na...

Historia        : Hay problemas en el infierno. Los demonietes de las clases
                bajas se han rebelado contra el gobierno de la Gran Ara�a Ci-
                bern�tica --conocida tambi�n como "Mastermind", al menos en-
                tre sus partidarios--, presidenta vitalicia de la rep�blica
                infernal. Reclaman reformas democr�ticas y un reparto m�s e-
                quitativo de los sacrificios humanos.
                  Naturalmente, la prensa humana se ha puesto inmediatamente
                a escribir cursiladas sobre el asunto, que si "primavera in-
                fernal", que si "revoluci�n de los tulipanes (carn�voros)",
                que si "asambleas espont�neas donde imps y cacodemonios dis-
                cuten en libertad el futuro pol�tico del infierno"... Pero
                desde el punto de vista de la Gran Ara�a, el asunto est�
                claro: sus s�bditos necesitan que se les recuerde qui�n man-
                da. S�lo hay un inconveniente: las fuerzas policiales que de-
                ber�an hacerlo se hallan tambi�n sumidas en el caos.
                  Sin embargo, la Gran Ara�a sabe qu� hacer, gracias a ese
                cerebro del tama�o de un troleb�s que le dieron los dioses
                del averno. S�lo ha tenido que ponerse en contacto telep�ti-
                co con Blackwater, esa corporaci�n humana dedicada a la "se-
                guridad" --l�ase, mercenarios-- que logr� fama imperecedera
                por su trabajo en Irak. Y Blackwater, por un precio sin es-
                pecificar, ha enviado a su mejor hombre a pacificar el in-
                fierno para la Gran Ara�a.
                  Ese hombre eres t�, claro.

Cr�ditos
adicionales a	: Anarko, por las pruebas de juego; de hecho, las dos demos
                las grab� con �l.
                  El cielo que he usado aqu� est� basado en otro de un mapa
                de Eric Harris.
