For those who have not heard of it, here is the ZDoom Wiki page on it.

And, lastly, a little note to those who have been playing ZDoom Wars for these past two years, 1 month, and 1 day:
Code: Select all
ZDoom Wars began as my first ever project for Doom. A silly little thing, really, but it seems to have grown a bit, and even gathered fans along the way. It has its problems, but overall I think it is a satisfactory project, and was worth the time and effort, and I have really enjoyed working on it and writing way too much in the way of manuals.
However, I have decided to stop production on ZDoom Wars, not in order to retire from Doom modding for a while, but to start a sequel, news of which is on the from-here-on-out defunct ZDoom Wars development blog. Though ZDWars has attained certain levels of popularity, there are things about it which I feel will best be fixed and improved with a complete rewrite, and reconception. I've gathered a couple people as advisors and helpers already, but it will be a while before any real news on the project is available.
I never foresaw this project really getting anywhere, but people decided they liked my interpretation of Martin Collberg's idea, I suppose. I would like it to not be forgotten that this whole mess was really entirely his concept. I also must thank a fellow I haven't seen in a long while, eliw00d, for showing me that people would care for the idea of creating this project, and consequently inspiring me to learn Decorate on that July afternoon.
Most importantly, I just want to thank the people who have played it, for better or worse. Thanks for giving my little mod a chance. Thanks for the laughs, the brief spurts of loathing, and the encouragement and input. I couldn't have done this without such support - after all, I first met Mik57 because Blazing Phoenix told him about my project on Doomworld when it was in its early stages.
So, with that, ZDoom Wars must gracefully bow and say goodbye, and ride its Stridicus off into the sunset. Hope to see you all for another adventure when the ZDoom Wars 2 site (zdoomwars2.phenomer.net) is made public.

P.S.: ZDoom Wars is now eligible for a Cacoward. ;)
