Extended description:
--------------------

I scrapped this project twice,altogether,due to two major improvements i learned
about level designing,my first revelation was vertex manipulation,I figured out
how to stretch vertex points,to give my levels less of a blocky feel,and decided to start
over,second was when i learned it was best to use 128,256,etc powers of two
geometry sizes for building,makes it a lot easier to texture,hehe.(Why
didnt someone tell me this sooner?)
 
 Many thanks to Ruth Thompson,Todd Jordan,and Sean Murray of Tarnished Images
www.tarnishedimages.com
For creating this artwork,letting me sue this artwork,and sending me some awesome
images to use,I have a S3 version of this level that looks just awesome,Its a little
bulky though,But if you want to see what this artowrk really looks like,check out
Ancient Future,if you have a voodoo2 or s3/s4 card,it is really Some awesome stuff.
I may release the S3 version of this somewhere,kind of waiting to see where those
levels go,they are a little big,Maybe i will make a conversion someday with
new monsters,I would have loved to throw a dragon in here! as well as some flails,maces,etc. for weapons.
maybe someday. 
at the end of this level you are rewared (punished)with some of my own guitar music!
just a little rpeview of my heavy metal punk blues country rhythm jammy swing 
rap pop techno funk music,on that note,my future projects are going to focus a lot on Music and sounds,
as well as textures,I was getting myself into a lot of crap that i shouldnt have been trying
to do,trying to make promo stuff for proffesional types,working with mod projects that 
went nowhere (Not you E.V.I.L guys,you guys were cool,and maybe i still might hae some sound
fx for you,hehe These guys went to Halflife format,which is cool for the EVIl mod
because it has zombies,and all that)but anyway,this is the one project I was doing
for fun,and I did it right,for the most part,and it turned out better than all that
stuff I wasnt really into.anyway,If someone does want to work on a mod or better yet,
something proffesional,I would really like to make something cool with this,
I hope this level shows im on well on my way.But for now,Im going to strictly
fun stuff,I was acting like an ass,and getting to serious about this,this started out
as a fun thing,and i almost lost sight of why I got into this,which is that I 
want to create something..lasting.you know,like art.anyway,I hope you like this
as much as I enjoyed making it.
again,go check out
www.tarnishedimages.com
naming contests, and some awesome artwork!
If you want the full little background,go read the file,the last king,here is the gist of it
You are a teacher,combat teacher,sent to a planet to teach the nali,you and this 
worlds "King"are talking in the tower late at night.


Author's Notes
--------------
