Title : Mikko Sandt Single Player 8 - MSSP8

Misc. Author Info : Duke King from Finland who has been killing aliens with Duke since -96.
Other Levels : Mssp1-Mssp7, O'Boy, Dm1-Msdm5, Duke Tournament TC, three versions
of MSSP Episode, Brave New World mini-mod, some crappy newbie levels
and then I took part in CBP1, 2, 3, 5 & 6 projects. I have also made
a level for Unreal Tournament & Quake 3 Arena (and working on a Doom 3
level).
Description : Typical city level - more city style than O'Boy was (which was over 50%
hi-tech). One of my favorite levels. Some of the credit belongs to Taivo
who brought up the conversation about some unreleased Community Build
Project which forced me to dig up my part for that particular CBP out of
the grave and continue it. The first street area with a few rooms is from
the unreleased CBP.
I built about 70% of the level within a week. I had lots of inspiration.
Then I stopped just so that I could wait for another 'Build Spree' - when
it got to me I slowly finished the rest of the level.
I made a mini-mod for Duke3D which was released during the first hours of
the year 2004. The mod is named Brave New World and it features five kick-ass
levels and a bunch of new stuff. Check it out at http://www.planetduke.com/msdn/bnw.shtml
Sidenote: I spent the last 1.5 hours of the the mssp8-building process trying
to make a 'teleport elevator' to work. It didn't. I had this problem with O'Boy
as well. So when I had enough of it I just replaced it with a 'silent teleport'
thing.
Sidenote 2: The 14th of November - today - is my 20th Birthday. So instead of
asking for presents I just give them - Enjoy!
Plot : "Insert some stupid excuse for mindless killing here"
Additional Credits To : To my Beta Testers: MetHunter (Corentin), MRCK & Fakir - Especially thanks
to MetHunter for giving me an idea for the ending (the part after falling
into that cave was his idea).

wouldn't exist without him), DNR forums...
