================================================================ Title : Pillars of Doom (2) Filename : pillars.WAD Author : Jammin J.J., (James Rex for those who know me) Email Address : www.polaris.com (I think) Misc. Author Info : Heck, I even have a hard time describing myself! Description : A rockin' level (I included a boss area for those who are disappointed by the lack of big fights! :) Comes with it's own Deathmatch rules for the overcomplicated people out there and a cool ending for those who love that sort of thing. Story : As I enter the room of pillars I have the familiar feeling that there is more here than meets the eye. The area has the cold dampness of an ancient mausoleum. I can sense a slimy power coming from the tall columns of moss covered rock that reek of hell spawn. I am so used to this feeling that I can no longer remember a time that I was not living on the edge of death. Perhaps I am dead. To fight an unending stream of evil may be true hell. God knows I deserve it. Then so be it. I will never quit, because I love it. Die, you bastards!! Additional Credits to : My Mom, John Rex, and Mike for testing it. :) My Mom, for writing the story. Myself for trying to gain fame on the net!

This is a team Deathmatch. Decide whose team your on before you load it up. Now the object is to steal the other teams key. The blue one is in the lake. The red one is in a pool of lava. Whoever gets to the other key wins. You can tell when the key has been taken. Have fun. The team guarding The red team has a slight advangate because of the teleporter nearby moves you to the star room. No exiting, please. Design notes for DEU users I wanted to make a seemingly empty level only to be ambushed at every point. Like in the computer room with the gray pillars. Almost no enemies when you walk (or run) into the room but afterwords, you have imps flying up your butt, making it so that you need to reload the game. Also, I vowed that no room would be left in a small mess. I wanted to leave the rooms in a big mess! The star room is a good example of this. I feel that this was part of the reason that the original levels were excellent. The rooms were never used just once, but over and over. The ending is the coolest part. After fighting the barons, you figure you have to fight the cyberdemon, only to end the level, it makes you think about the sequel, which will be made available the same way as this one!
