Description             : StarZone is a 7 map Doom 2 WAD mostly made during
                          early 2024, intended to be played pistol-start. All
                          maps are fully playable, and the first 3 are
                          heavily polished (to a much larger extent than I
                          polish my maps nowadays, at least visually), but
                          the rest are comparatively rough. As such, the wad
                          is split into 2 episodes: Polished Maps and
                          Unpolished Maps.
                          
                          I think most of these maps still hold up pretty
                          well, but I've improved and developed my style
                          quite a bit since I made this, so don't take it as
                          representative of my mapping nowadays.

                          however the bulk of what you see here was done in
                          january 2024.
Editor(s) used          : SLADE 3, Doom Text Generator, 3D Studio Max 2.5,

Known Bugs              : There's a HOM in MAP07 which i couldn't be bothered
                          to fix. It's in the unpolished maps episode for a
                          reason.
May Not Run With        : Anything that doesn't support MBF+ or umapinfo.
                          Unlike most of my wads, this should be playable in
                          GZDoom, but it wasn't tested much in that port.
Tested With             : DSDA-Doom 0.26.2
