Description             : Fifty-two maps made for the Doomworld Maximum 
                          Project 2023, as well as two maps to mark the 
                          required source ports and a hub for GZDoom. The
                          Doomworld Maximum Project 2023 was organized by 
                          Obsidian and sought to provide a community
                          project that anyone could contribute to,
                          regardless of mapping proficiency or source port 
                          familiarity.

Known Bugs              : -The large amount of PNGs present in the file
                          means that Eternity loads the wad up very slowly.
                          -The level timer does not reset between maps when
                          using the hub due to it marking the player's 
                          progress in the wad.
                          -Monster telefragging can occur on MAP30 if your
