TECH ISSUES
playtesting was done on win xp computers with 2g of ram or less.
No tech issues/mem leaks were experienced by any of the
4 play testers on high resolution settings.
However, all 4 computers also had the editor files (my computer
would be unusable for periods of time so I worked on one
of the others - so all had upto date editor files.)
^^this my be the root of the problem as it seems
I am not getting an "objective export".
I am currently investigating.
So current tech reports
Dark Elf race sounds not working so you will get error messages everytime you are hit etc.
--reported by minmay
mem leaks on high tex settings resulting in crashes/corrupt savegames.
--reported by minmay but not experienced by everyone. Many are playing
without this prob.
an invalid connector message - annoying but not game ending
-- reported by minmay and azel
If you know how to get an "objective export" pls pm me.
Currently I have been unable to replicate any of these errors.

**********************************************
-more meat per minute-
-not enough plot to clot-
The Crack of Doom is an ancient chasm that is
rumored to stretch to the very center of the
world. It has always been home to the foulest
creatures and the greatest treasures. Recently
it has fallen into the hands of the growing
snake cult.
Many rulers fear what trouble might become
of a malevolant cult in such proximity to
undeniable evil. It is time to put an end
to the horrors that have plagued the lands for
centuries and destroy the dark one that rules
the Crack of Doom.
To do this you must infiltrate the pale sect
of the snake cult (the nudist sect) as believers,
locate the Crack of Doom and begin your
assault...naked.
FEATURES
*levels start simple and grow in complexity
the deeper you go.
*Mithril Forge - collect mithril lumps and forge
weapons and armor.
*many reskinned/textured monsters for
variation, difficulty scaling and
experience rewards.
*new weapons, armor and trinkets.
*exploration based adventure, limited puzzles,
heavy action.
DUNGEON MASTER NOTES v1.0
**limited healing crystals: after 350ft depth
(level 7) healing crystals appear every other
level,not at all, or hidden as a secret**
-still a few texture glitches (some day...)
-one known bug: zarchton(blue fishy guys) can
become stuck in the leap forward animation
and block a square without being in it. Just
shoot them or try and hit them from another
angle.

Reviews and/or comments can be posted here.
Positive or negative it doesnt matter.
I often find the "negative" review convinces me
to try/buy something.
eg I played a mod here because someone didnt like it.
All the things they didnt like about the mod
sounded like good things to me (lack of
healing crystals etc). It was a damn fine mod.
Guy got torched for his review so i wont fan the flames
by naming names lol.
So everyone has their own opinion, likes and/or dislikes.
Post your own but please no spoilers except for the one
I am gonna give now lol.
This is an action/exploration mod.
On the first level when you are naked with a bone club
there are green slime, a spider, a crab, a rat, and a
snake. You do not neccessarily have to fight them
but this essentially sums up the style of the mod.
Go hard or go home.
If you are looking for a deep/rich puzzle experience you
will not find it here. There are puzzles but this is not
a puzzle based mod.
This mod is for "adrenaline junkies". The pace is fast and heavy
with almost zero backtracking required. Full steam ahead for
21 levels/ 20 hrs. You will shriek like a schoolgirl
at least once if not regularily. Streams of curses
were common during playtesting.
difficulty settings
easy - tourist mode with ample muggings.
normal - for people with coconuts.
hard - for people with huge coconuts.
and if you need an even greater challenge
read the guide included in the zip for
info on "speed crack". (at the end of the guide)
- this is for people with planet sized coconuts
and a deep need to be punished.
enjoy
