Misc. Author Info       : S P O O N is pronounced with extra reverb

Description             : A 4-map MBF21 mini-set visually and atmospherically
                          inspired by Tron, The Matrix, and other such
                          neon-cyberspace media.
                          
                          I felt like I dropped the ball on the gameplay with
                          this one, especially since I'm not going to bother
                          with rebalancing for lower skills than UV. On top
                          of taking a little over 4 years to release it, I
                          feel kinda bad for not delivering more maps but
                          sadly I have none left in me for this wad. In the
                          Doomworld thread, I'll have a link to download the
                          resources if you want to take a crack at it
                          yourself.
                          
                          As for me, I'm lucky to have been given enough
                          productive energy to clean up the wad for release.
                          As of writing this my second to last semester in
                          college is starting up, I quit my stress-inducing
                          job as a dishwasher, and socializing with friends
                          has become a rarity. There's more, but it gets too
                          personal to disclose.
                          
                          I hope you enjoy whatever it is that's on offer
                          here. It'll be a huge weight off my chest for
                          people to finally play it and for me to stop
                          staring at it in my folders.
