=========================================================================== Advanced engine needed : pr-boom+ / zdoom / equivalent Primary purpose : Single play =========================================================================== Title : Stardate 20x7 Filename : sd20x7.wad Release date : 05/24/2017 Author : Ribbiks Email Address : [redacted] Other Files By Author : Sunlust, Swim With The Whales, Stardate 20x6, lots of other stuff Description : *** PLAY ON HMP/HNTR *** 9 Boom-compatible maps (i.e. prb+ cl9). Explore a mostly-purple world of villages, space bases, temples, and beyond!! These maps are really god damn hard. I put most of my time and effort into making HMP the intended difficulty setting, it's by far the most fun and balanced. Think of Stardate20x7's HMP as everyone else's UV. Similarly, HNTR was balanced to be comparable to other challenging mapsets on HMP. UV is NOT the intended way to play the levels on a first playthrough, but rather was intended to be a "bonus" setting reserved for hardcore sadomasochists that are already familiar with the maps and want pure challenge. Anyhow, this set is a mix of "casual" maps, cramped maps, and some slaughtermaps (surprise!). Good luck! *** PLAY ON HMP/HNTR *** Additional Credits to : Esselfortium for sexy textures!
