Description             : Absolute Extinction is a vanilla-compatible megawad
                          for Ultimate Doom. It features 24 levels, replacing
                          the original three episodes; please note that there
                          are no replacements for the secret levels. I chose
                          to skip them because I wanted to focus on the main
                          maps and avoid burning myself out during the
                          process.
                          
                          One thing to keep in mind is that five maps I
                          previously released were reused in this wad (check
                          the maplist for details). Some of them were
                          retextured and tweaked, while others received
                          something closer to a "remake."
                          
                           
                          
                          These maps are clearly influenced by classic id
                          Software levels, although they don't try to copy
                          their style completely. They do, however, keep the
                          themes and the typical monsters of each episode.
                          
                           
                          
                          Jumping and crouching are not recommended, as the
                          levels were not designed with those mechanics in
                          mind.
