Deathless is a megawad for The Ultimate Doom by James Paddock (Jimmy). It was originally just an Episode 4 replacement released as Griefless in July 2018, but several months later Jimmy decided to expand it into a full game replacement as part of the first NaNoWADMo in November. The initial version of the full megawad was shared on November 9th.
On May 14, 2020, version 1.1 was added to the list of official add-ons for the Doom Classic Unity port, with various map and visual changes as summarized by a Doomworld forums post, and also uploaded to the /idgames archive on May 25.
