Highway Acceleroid Booster is a GZDoom gameplay mod where you play as a robot girl that's part car and part super fighting robot. Armed primarily with mobility, a series of battle chips for extra combat data, and a variety of utensils installed into her gauntlets, she zips from place to place to gather additional combat data. And to help out wherever she's needed, admittedly. Helping feels nice. Inspired by Mega Man X, gameplay feel is a little bit more cartoony and high-tech than usual, with some pretty outlandish weapons doing some silly functions.. Designed to act as a complement for sci-fi/space-age mapsets, the gameplay mod acts as a direct contrast with High Noon Drifter. Rather than being very simple and low-tech, this mod is a little bit more complicated and hi-tech. If you've been looking for a mod where you can play as a robot, android, gynoid, or you've been looking for something to compliment Stardate 20X7, this might be up your alley.
Nostalgia is a 32-level megawad for limit-removing source ports. It was released by Alex Decker (myolden) in August 2022 and combines vanilla-style aesthetics with modern map design philosophies. Most maps are smallish in size, with a focus on easy-to-medium difficulty and fewer than 100 monsters. While level geometry and texturing is intentionally kept simple, the wad contains many instances of environmental storytelling as well as occasional doomcute detailing. Each level in the wad is named after a metal song that came out prior to 2000. The midi soundtrack is assembled from various sources from inside and outside the Doom community, containing no bespoke tracks.

Project "Redemption" was inspired by the hub traveling shenaningans of Unloved and unconventional colorful scenarios of the first Serious Sam games as opposed to the usual dark n' gritty in shooters, with a sprinkle of all the things I loved about Nintendo. That project then became Golden Souls, a humble little beginning for a small modder-wannabe. After announcing the project I went to celebrate New Year's eve with my parents, I remember pulling the phone out from time to time and checking the comments on the forums, plenty of people were excited for this project and already started giving their input on it. It was exciting, and it was only the beginning. Through good times and bad times, Golden Souls has been a big part of my life for 8 years, and while the new games have become something even more unique, I still look back and think of those humble roots, that simple happy garden with the Golden Cacodemon running away from the player, the first Van Gogh inspired map that has become a staple of all my works and the quirky little drawings of Doomguy killing demons to save the day. My intentions with this remaster are not only to improve on that foundation without betraying what was my vision back then for this project, but also provide an entry point for people that want to experience this mod for the first time and for the people that already played this adventure and want to experience it all over again with a fresh new coat of paint.

This mod builds on the PSX Doom Total Conversion and Doom 64 Retribution, to take advantage of the latest GZDoom versions and adds many features that make them more faithful but were impossible to implement at their time of release. To achieve this, a large amount of the code has been adapted from GEC Master Edition (also known as DZDoom) into ZScript, while looking at the reverse engineered source code and existing source ports of these games for reference. In addition to that, the mod is highly modular and also incluides many optional "enhancements" that deviate from the original experience. Depending on your taste you can opt for going as close to vanilla as possible, or experiment and play with upscaled textures, PBR materials, flashy particle effects and other features that are common in other GZDoom "enhacement" mods.

Sjas, the ghostly face from Ghoul 2, Jitterskull, a huge skull with a strange movement pattern and a charge attack, or The Creeper, a shadowy figure which pops up in your face up close.

Demon Eclipse was a Doom II mod for GZDoom by Amuscaria (formerly Eriance). Originally intended to be told through the eyes of another marine escaping the invasion on Earth in during Doom II, Demon Eclipse went through multiple iterations but was ultimately dropped due to real-life and the loss of motivation for the project by the author. The project had succumbed to multiple rounds of scope-bloat and become too much to manage. The first episode of first dropped from the mod, but was later made standalone by Blue Shadow. The intent was to focus and refine the second episodes 'hell-tech' theme in the "Hell-Forged Edition", but that also fell thru in 2014. In 2017, Amuscaria had revive the project in a complete reboot of the second episode by the name of Hell-Forged, with a much narrower focus around the Gothic hell-tech theme.
