Comments: Started editing, when I discovered the DCK shareware in the www, must have been around 1999 (i was playing doom since 1996).
Already got some mapping experience from Duke3d, Shadow Warrior and Blood.
When i first heard about source ports for doom I choosed Legacy(

), cause I liked its 3dfloors and the graphic was incredible good, compared to vanilla doom.
Later I noticed that ZDoom is the ONLY sourceport wich offers you everything you´ll need.

Lexus Alyus · Post by **Lexus Alyus** » Thu Aug 19, 2004 3:46 pm

Heh:

Name: Lexus Alyus (although some might say it's lexusaylus)

preferred styles: Metal, industrial, techno, EBM, orchestral, drum n bass, ambient, noise, electronic, synth pop, dark wave, IDM... I think that's it... but there are more sub genres and all that

.

Sorry... justfelt the need to express my open minded newss to music

. I am a musician, so I have to be open to different styles as they offer intresting techniques... my ultimate aim is to knock down boundries as all this genraspacific music ghetsd a bit samey after a while... plus, why limit oneself? by combining elements from all musical genres I can create something that is a little differant

. The next great music genra will be Lexus Alyus
