Cacowards 2014 nomination thread

I will nominate DemonSteele, GMOTA, Prodoomer and Ultimate Doom 64 as the best gameplay mods of this year (an outstanding year for mods).
The Best WAD is BTSX2 for me...

Where did you find ultimate doom 64, and is there a thread anywhere about this?

So many good wads this year. :)

I doubt they need the help, but I'd feel remiss if I didn't put my two cents in and nominate Going Down, The Adventures of Square and Countdown to Extinction.

It's not quite complete yet, but I have to recommend ARCHIE as a jokewad.

I don't "get it", though. And it unfortunately doesn't look as cool as the preview movie makes it appear to be.

I'm confident Tango will be able to finish this episode before the cacos:

Oh how about that, I was going to mention Archie also. I would say it does up to this point unseen things with the doom engine, both in its effects and the character it conducts itself with. I can verify that it is both gettable and winnable, or at least concludable. It should not be ignored, whatever it is.

+1 for Laundry 2 for best jokewad.

Played yesterday and it was really funny to play, also it was a very funny way to mock up the "creepypastas/creepy games" genre...

also +1 for DemonSteele

one for demonsteele too.

Flashback to Hell, Nova, and Resurgence are my picks

Nominating Countdown to Extinction. It's concentrated fun - haven't had a wad experience that clean in a while.

Also nominating Doom: The Golden Souls. It has a unique atmosphere and plays super smoothly. I'm loving it.

+1 Push, DemonSteele, Resurgence and The Adventures of Square, since those are the things I've played this year

Myan Mishap
Adventures of Square
Doom: Golden Souls
BTSX Ep2

I nominate Incineration for a honourable mention at least, because it's a very solid D1 episode replacement.

Mouldy for MOTY. Pretty much every single piece of work he's put forward to the Doom community has been excellent and he deserves recognition for that.

I wanna give a shout out for Resurgence. It turned out to be an absolute beast, and its an incredible feat by Joshy.

Bauhaus is pretty cool.

Fifty shades of Graytall definitely deserve a mention, even if not an award.

Thy Flesh turned into a draft-excluder is amazing, just played it and came straight to this thread.

I really feel PRODOOMER deserves a "first" place Cacoward

TRAILER

* awesome replay value (hidden rings system + 100% level complete necessity)
* awesome gameplay
* the best bestiary
* multiple habilities
* huge weapons updgrader
* addictive as HELL as you progress.

See for yourself

Fractal Doom for gameplay mod

Bauhaus looks very cool but I keep being disappointed that it bears no relation to the band. :p
