- Waninkoko’s cIOS rev17 used IOS38 as base, with a modified version number

- GZDoom (version 4.8.0 or higher) with vid_rendermode 1

- Visual theme: Coherent visual palette—industrial/techbase motifs with occasional organic or ruined touches. Textures are used consistently to reinforce room function (labs, storage, corridors).
- Lighting: Lighting choices are effective—contrasting pools of light and shadow are used to create tension and to highlight routes or secrets. There are a few clever uses of strobing and sector-based lighting to set mood during key fights.
- Detail and set-dressing: Props and decorative architecture are modest but purposeful. The level author prefers restraint: fewer gratuitous decorations in favor of readable combat spaces. Secrets are often hinted by subtle texture variations or extra props.
