Realm667 - Nash

Nash

...for proving numerous kinds to be one of the most decent and generous people in the community and for also being one of the most creative and talented ones. Nash has a big influence to any mod out there, not only when it comes to blood mods.

Projects I loved

Shadow of the Wool-Ball

...can be considered as one of the best total conversions ever - or actually a complete new retro game. MSPaintRocks has created a beautiful setting, adorable characters and a villain, that you want to kill and hug at the same time. Classic Wolfenstein 3D feeling with a twist, a blast from the past in modern times.

/idgames
Darkest Hour

...if you are a big Star Wars fan as I am, you can't get around Rex' Darkest Hour mod. For me it feels like a spiritual successor to Lucas Arts' Darkest Hour and I loved every minute of it. Unfortunately it didn't age well so if you read this Rex, please release a remastered version of it, that makes the cutscenes skippable and working on modern GZDoom versions. *hint* *hint*

Batman Doom

...from Ace Team was the very first total conversion that I played and today it's still one of the biggest milestones in Doom history. If you haven't played Batman Doom yet, I recommend Ozymandias reborn edition by the way if you are into these crazy modern GZDoom features.

/idgames
Doom: The Golden Souls

...can be considered as the perfect mix between everyone's favorite plumper and everyone's most-loved spacemarine. Batandy has achieved a memorable and brilliant mashup and it is one of the few projects that I played from the beginning to the end. Glad to know that there are sequels around, that I still need to enjoy.

/idgames
Cringe

...was one of the first graphics mod wads that I ever got my hands on from a compilation cd-rom called Boom - Waffen und Levels. Despite the edits' quality it opened my eyes about the possibilities: Any single graphic is exchangable. Thanks to Mark Klem for this revelation!

/idgames
Action Doom

...is one of the most popular mods of the early 2000's and it hasn't lost its excitement up to now. I can remember myself admiring Scuba Steve for what he was capable of doing: A brilliant one-man-show of mapping, spriting, modding and advertising (which inspired me for KDiZD, but that's a different story). I summon you, Steve, what about a remaster for GZDoom?

/idgames
Temple of the Lizard Men

...had that special Unreal feeling (not only because of the music) and I really loved playing it, a nice adaption and a well-done mod from Alando that I played from the beginning to the end. There has been a remake release a few weeks ago that I fully recommend, it's really worth playing.

/idgames
KZDoom

...from Kurt Kessler has been the first ZDoom map that I have ever played and wasy responsible for my decision to mod for that sourceport. The whole series was a showcase for latest features and had this nice mix between Doom and Quake 2. Little trivia: There was an unfinished TZDoom from me that got lost during a hardware crash.

/idgames
Operation: Rheingold

...to make things short: Without Laz Rojas and Operation: Rheingold there wouldn't be a Blade of Agony. I was fascinated by the spiritual successor of Wolfenstein 3D and I am still pretty sad, that it all ended after chapte 2. On the other hand, maybe it was for the better - it motivated me to do it myself.

/idgames

Doomers I want to thank

AFADoomer

...as he just came at the right moment, when Blade of Agony stagnated and we were in the need of a programmer, enthusiast and visionary, who dedicated all of his knowledge to the largest-scale project that I have ever worked on. It wouldn't be the same without your help.
Blue Shadow

...for (sometimes single-handedly) running the Realm667 Repositories during my absence, that is still continuing. Thanks a lot for keeping the place organized and alive, the community and everyone using content from the rep owes you a lot.
Cutmanmike

...for being a honorable community guide but furthermore for his mod creations that pushed the borders. Ghouls Forest and Mega Man Deathmatch are essential parts of my personal Doom Hall of Fame, thank you so much for these!
DoomJedi

...as he was one of my teammates working with me on Blade of Agony since 2015 - a real enrichment when it comes to dedication for classic sprite artwork and an revelation when it comes to effectivity. Thanks for pointing me towards solutions for my handheld emulation device.
DoomJuan

...he was able to drive me mad sometimes, but he is a damn fine guy and I am glad that he joined Blade of Agony for his fantastic visions, his dedication and historical knowledge and all the time, he was working on the maps (which was less than talking about that he is going to map, but either way, it was fine as is).
Doomkid

...even though he might be surprised to read his name here, I consider Doomkid to be one of the biggest influencers and a great gain to the community. In my eyes, he is a very decent guy and he made big footprints in the sands of Doom history. Thanks for your dedication man!
Enjay

...as I never considered teacher's to be cool - until I met you. For me you are the community's gentleman: Always polite, always supportive, always good manners - and for being older than me, you Doom dinosaur.
esselfortium

...for being my nemesis - in a good way though. Our personal feud has pushed me to my limits and made me work harder on each new project I have worked on. It's the kind of rivalry and competition, communities need to improve.
Graf Zahl

...not only for your dedication and endurance with my number 1 sourceport, but also with me when it comes to technical pms - only a handful of people know: Without you, Ultimate Torment & Torture would have never happened.
Nash

...for proving numerous kinds to be one of the most decent and generous people in the community and for also being one of the most creative and talented ones. Nash has a big influence to any mod out there, not only when it comes to blood mods.
NMN

...for being such a talented Jack of all trades. I had the opportunity to work with him during the development of KDiZD, and he always found the right words when it came to disputes, and he always knew what to do when we ended up in dead ends.
Ozymandias81

...as he was one of my teammates working with me on Blade of Agony since 2015 - a very long time where you not only share inspiration and dedication for a project but also personal experiences and memories. Thanks for being such a good friend.
Rachael

...not only for being one of the statutory women in the community but also for her sense of justice and the way she leads the ZDoom community. We had our disputes but we also solved each discussion and got along with each other. Thanks for being such a good lead Rachael.
Redneckerz

...for being my right hand at the Realm667 news landing page and also for being such a kind person and a talented writer - not only when it comes to news but also when it comes to endlessly long personal messages over at the ZDoom forums.
Vader

...german Doomers can be considered as little vegetation, so on the one hand, thanks for being a compatriot, and on the other hand for being such a kind and talented person, who created architecture that always pushed me to improve my work.
Xaser

...for being - Xaser. If you are part of the community for such a long time, he has crossed your ways more than a single time. Without him, this place would be less interesting. He has done so much for every one of us and I am glad having had the opportunity to work with him more than just once. Thanks for being such a good companion!
