TeamTNT
TeamTNT is a group of mappers that created the TNT: Evilution episode of Final Doom, as well as several free level packs for Doom II. Team TNT is responsible for development of the BOOM Engine used by many level-designers during the height of Doom wad-making in the 90s before the rise to predominance of the ZDoom engine. The advantages that the BOOM Engine gave designers over the DOOM engine mainly concerned the removal of dimension limits and other limits from the level specifications and physics of the game. Team TNT members numbered around 75 in the late 90s. Although most of TeamTNT has since split up, several members still maintain an online presence: Ty Halderman maintains the /idgames archives, Cadman leads the "Community Chest Part Deux" project, and Dario Casali now works with the Half-Life engine for Valve Software, among others.

Future Projects
Some work has also been done by Team TNT on the following projects. Many of these projects have been greatly delayed by the splitting up of the Team TNT group, a lack of modders/coders/etc and a general lack of time/interest.
- Doom Revisited (32-level solo-play level pack attempting to recreate the feel of the original Doom/Doom2 series)
- Eternally New (32-level multiplayer Doom DM run through the Eternal Shell focusing on cooperative play)
- Eternal Doom IV: Return From Oblivion
- PuzzleWorld (solo-play level pack focusing on puzzles)
- Ragnarok: The Search For Aasgard (and Ragnarok DM) (undergoing total conversion employing the Open Gaming Resource Engine [OGRE])
