''Codename: DEMOLITIONIST'' (formerly ''SWWM GZ''), is a gameplay mod for [=GZDoom=] created by Marisa Kirisame and supporting the classic ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' series as well as ''VideoGame/{{Heretic}}'', ''VideoGame/{{Hexen}}'' and its expansion. It began as a ContinuityReboot of a series of ''VideoGame/UnrealTournament'' mods created by Marisa, before growing into its own thing entirely.

The mod's ExcusePlot begins during the invasion of Earth in ''VideoGame/DoomIIHellOnEarth''. You play as the Demolitionist, or Demo-chan, a combat robot designed by Akari Labs, who is sent to clean up the mess left by the UAC, armed with a variety of over-the-top weaponry and a jetpack. The game's story progresses as you go through the classic id and Raven levels, linking each game together.

The mod features a score system and a shop where you can buy weapons and items with hard earned points. It also features a library accessable thru the same interface, detailing the mod's universe alongside some snark from your [[MissionControl creator]], Saya Miyamoto. It's quite an impressive amount of worldbuilding for a gameplay wad, with Marisa reportedly claiming it would take about six hours to read through all of it. It also features compatibility with the ''Doom II'' episode ''No Rest for the Living'', the fan-made megawad ''Eviternity'', and the ''Hexen'' expansion pack ''Deathkings of the Dark Citadel'', and can be complimented with other mods such as ''[[VideoGame/{{DRL}} Doom Roguelike Arsenal]] Monsters'' and ''Colourful Hell''.

The mod's project thread on the [=Zdoom=] forums can be found [[https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=67687 here]] and its [=GitHub=] repo can be found [[https://github.com/OrdinaryMagician/swwmgz_m here]]. The WAD requires an up-to-date version of [=GZDoom=] and does ''not'' support software rendering due to it's extensive use of Unreal Engine 1 models and pixel shaders, requiring [=OpenGL=] or Vulkan.


!''Codename: DEMOLITIONIST'' contains examples of the following tropes:

* AssKicksYou: Dashing backwards into an enemy crushes them with Demo-chan's pronounced buttocks.
* {{BFG}}: Pretty much every weapon. The granddaddy of them though is the Ynykron Artifact, which fires a beam of death that not only vaporizes anything that contacts it but spreads a chain reaction of death. Its altfire shoots a ''singularity'' that sucks in everything in it's radius, including the player if they're not careful.
* HandCannon: Your starting weapon, the Explodium gun. There's also the Candy Gun, an overpowered version that sometimes spawns in place of BFG-level weapons, which deals much more damage. The Spreadgun also counts, seeing as it takes ''six-gauge'' shells.
* IdiosyncraticDifficultyLevels: Introduces new ones, in classic ''Doom'' fashion.
** "Just Chillin'"
** "Taking It Easy~"
** "Adequate Adventure"
** "Moderate Challenge"
** "[[HarderThanHard I'm A Masochist]]"
** "[[HarderThanHard I WANT DIE]]"
* MadeOfExplodium: [[InvokedTrope Literally]], as some weapons, such as the starting pistol, use a substance named such.
* OneHitPolykill: The Silver Bullet .JET, a giant sniper rifle which can rip through enemies.
* QuadDamage: The Devastation Sigil is this mod's equivalent. It even covers your screen in a blue tint just like the TropeNamer from ''{{VideoGame/Quake}}''.
* ShoutOut: Quite a few.
** One of the inventory items is the [[VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Fuckin' Invinciball]]. Sundowner even says the line after using it.
** Demo-chan uses Fem!Sole Survivor lines from the Japanese dub of ''VideoGame/Fallout4''.
* SmartBomb: The Mykradvo Artifact acts as one, killing or heavily damaging monsters in your immediate vicinity.
* StuffBlowingUp: Plenty, nearly every weapon has some form of explosive effect.
