Misc. Author Info     : Some British guy with a passion for drawing and game design. 'Nuff said.

Level Info  	      : Explore Master Barlington's estate, also home to his exclusive gentlemen's club including
			some prominent figures of the area, owners of influential businesses;	Cobbleson & Son's
			Crimson Brewery, Leroux's Mdaillon Bathhouse, Ashford's Bank and Trust, etc. Strange
			activities have been taking place at the estate and these men are likely involved. Rumours
			also spread about a new religious cult forming and gossip regarding Barlington's mental
			health as of late. Sudden disappearances have been reported surrounding the area, but no
			concrete evidence pointing to the club itself. What secrets are they hiding? Break inside,
			rummage around, seek documents and discover the truth, no matter how far you must dig to
			find it.

Author Notes	      :	Intended as an introductory level for a short series I have in mind, there's themes I'd
			still like to try out so haven't quite finished tinkering with Blood just yet. Blood 
			mapping has been an incredibly fascinating experience and a nice change of pace, especially
			how much Mapedit functions differently compared to Duke3D.

Known Bugs/Problems    : 
			 > Beware entering through doors during their opening/closing phase
			    or risk either dying or pushed into areas you shouldn't be in yet.
			    Attempted to fix the latter with no success, mostly due to sector
			    over sector.
			 > Minor visual glitch when crossing doorways due to doorframes. Should
			    not affect gameplay besides a strange hitch.
			 > Framerate drop outside due to interior complexity/overlapping sectors,
			    but shouldn't become a problem indoors or during combat. Primarily
			    focused around the front entrance.

			   If running Blood via DOSBOX (ex: GOG Release);

				# Edit "dosboxBlood_single.conf"
				# Replace BLOOD.EXE with DREAMW1.BAT
