SlaughterDM

SlaughterDM is a Boom 9 level deathmatch set released on New Year's Eve in 1999. It was originally started in August of 1998 by David "Dagger" Gevert as a 32 level megawad with its own weapons and source port. Due to a series of hard drive crashes and many members of the team quitting or being fired from the team by David, the weapon sprites were lost and there wasn't enough man power to complete the amount of levels originally planned. As a result, the project was scaled back to be finished by the dwindled team. After David had to step down as leader due to lack of time in May 1999, Blain Newport took over to overseen its completion.

The main interest surrounding this release is a map collaboration between the Dystopia 3 duo Anthony "Adelusion" Czerwonka and Iikka "Fingers" Keränen. A pecular piece of history behind the WAD is an IRC EFNet #doom2 conversation where Iikka "Fingers" Keränen offered his "final" Doom II level to the first person to ask for it. David "Dagger" Gevert won the contest over Crucified Dreams' moderator Scott "Covaro" Cover and as a result, Adelusion completed the level for this set. Fellow GothicDM associate Mattrim Dixon also contributed some tweaks for finalizing its design.
