Background Information:

So why did this track took so long to be made? Well actually it didn't take long. It only took two weeks of working around
1 or 2 hours a day on it. So why only submit now? And why was i one of the people asking for an extension? Well things weren't
that pink especially in the last month of the original deadline and to tell you the truth i had a huge problem finding
a theme for it. It was very hard when i specifically had to create one. I have tracks that have a theme but they were a free
creation so it just happened and as a result were much easier to make.

Even this track didn't took this shape until the last week!!! When i started out i had a totally different idea for a track
but somehow i listened to the song featured in the track and thought of building a track using the song as a theme. If i
succeded that's for you to see.



Track explanation:

I don't know if the track requiers any explanation but perhaps for a better understanding i will do it. Originally the track
had to feature signposts which contained a few key words from the song which took shape in the track. However, most probably
due to my lack of creativity or due to my lack of experience when creating models, the signposts didn't fit very well with
the track. So after careful consideration i decided it would be best to take the signposts out and at least offer an
explanation in the readme.txt (which you are reading now... actually tortured to read it).

I will skip the part where you start in the track and will leave it for the end. Ok, so the theme song is "Elevation"
performed by U2 (and NOT the Tomb Raider remix). The part when you start climbing the mountain is the "elevating" part.
The buildings which appear are actually a part of the forelast "resting place" before the "Elevated Bridge". Next stop is the
last place where you can meet any human buildings. It even features a gas station in case you need gas to either turn back
or continue on your quest and also snow cleaning machines.
Continuing on your quest you will finally reach the "Elevated Bridge". However this bridge is not completely done and you
eventually come to the end of it.
Here the track follows a key phrase which you can hear in the song "I and I in the sky, you make me feel like i can _fly_
so high"
And at the end it's "Going down, _excavation_". So the last part (where you actually start) it's an excavation site.


So basically the track follows 3 key words/phrases which are in the song. Elevation, Fly and Excavation.



Creative consultants (or victimized beta testers):

None so far,
perhaps if there are any noteable errors which i somehow missed then there will be a post-expo release which will include 
the people who tried/tested it.
