	This mod received one of the 2017 Cacowards on Doomworld!

No End In Sight is a megawad for The Ultimate Doom created by three Doom the Way id Did contributors: Emil Brundage (NaturalTvventy), Xaser Acheron, and Christopher Lutz. The megawad includes both new levels and levels modified from Doom the Way id Did. The first three episodes are vanilla-compatible, whilst the fourth episode requires a limit-removing source port. It was named as one of the winners of the 2017 Cacowards, and the final version 1.4 was released in July 2019. On March 31, 2020, it was added to the list of official add-ons for the Doom Classic Unity port.
