NOVA II: New Dawn, a limit-removing community project for Doom 2, has reached its final release. The NOVA series, originally conceived by kildeth and lead to fruition by tourniquet and Doomworld Megawad Club host dobu gabu maru, is a community project designed to foster aspiring level designers to create fun maps in a friendly and constructive environment. It was tested over a four-month period on all difficulties and in cooperative mode. While some maps didn't make the cut for the final 32 slots, it attracted many new and developing mappers, such as AD_79, Pinchy, Jaxxoon R, U.O.D., KevinHEZ, Dave The Daring, Eradrop, jmickle666666666, SFoz911, obake, Cyberdemon531, Breezeep, Noisyvelvet, Egregor, Demonologist, and an_mutt. NOVA II also features several returning guests from the original NOVA, such as cannonball, moudly, mrthejoshmon, Getsu Fune, and joe-ilya, as well as adding Ribbiks and Obsidian into the mix. So now we space Marines have the opportunity to crash through this oppressive new world—alone or with some squadmates—spawned from the minds of some of our favorite level designers, along with some new rare breeds!
