  Sure it can - a small level, good for 4 players (maybe more), aesthetically 
pleasing.  You'd have to go nuts on it (5-8 hours a day I guess), but it 
could be done in time.
  By the way, have you ever seen one of my levels?  The two ones I consider 
my best are APWBONE2 ("The Boneyards," Pak Edition) and TVC-HQ (a map for a 
BBS).  Right now I'm working on a Mesoamerican-themed map.

  Is it complete enough?  If so, I wouldn't mind seeing it up on the 3D 
Realms homepage.  After all, if you can post a circa-1994 beta of Duke 3D, 
then it's not out of the question.

  Hey, I know it sounded cruel, but it is a good point - a Prey or DNF level 
will take considerably longer than a Duke 3D or Shadow Warrior map.  Anyways, 
I'm sorry.

  It would be nice, though I'm not forcing you.  Just don't decide to create 
"Mr. Siegler's Opus," some grand-scale map which dwarfs the regular game.
