===GOLDEN BONER AWARDS: MAPPING===

WINNER: LOVELY.WAD

This is a single large map appearing towards the end of last year. Several themes feature across the ruins of a fortress that has been dragged into hell. Using cc4-tex, its well-detailed architecture and texturing would have it fit easily into cchest4.wad itself. Particularly impressive is the massive lava cavern at the south. It even has a new weapon: the plasma gun is updated to a slower-firing but surprisingly powerful death-dealer. In your editor's opinion, this is the finest wad to have come out of /vr/.

RUNNER-UP: 200 MINUTES OF /VR/

/doom/'s most successful community project, featuring 33 maps of (mostly) vanilla Doom action. Quite well-received outside of /vr/ too, it has seen a good amount of attention from speedrunners.

RUNNER-UP: MONASTERY OF APOSTASY AND SIN

With a fair number of works made by obviously enthusiastic but inexperienced mappers, it was hard to choose a third which stood out. Monastery was a single medium-sized map set in a temple beside a flooded valley, with good progression and a variety of gameplay styles from fiendish traps through ledge traversal to battling a horde of demons in a wide open space.
