Sometimes
you have to wonder, if we could put up one man against SLIGE and see which
one could come out on top with the most levels done in a week, who would
it be? Almost anyone who has been around recently would say Kurt Kesler.
Never has there been a level designer that could so quickly turn out so
many high quality maps so quickly. It seemed as though every week there
would be a new level by Kesler for you to fight your way through. Yet,
these weren't crap levels to be laughed at. They were usually well thought
out, heavy hitting winners. With something over 40 levels to his credit,
Kurt has probably put out one of the highest amount of known levels in
existance. Kesler was one of the greatest helps to the resurrgence of the
development of levels by the average Doom level designer, as for a time
the scene was overtaking by the Gods of Doom Level design, as most people
felt it was to late to do levels for the game. But suddenly, Kurt begins
to release his well received level sets to the public and bam, people start
hitting the level editor, and we begin to be graced by excellent wads from
sometimes little known people. For that we all owe Kurt a thank you.
