Team Future

Team Future is a group focused on level design that have created mods for Doom II and Doom 3. Their PWADs, RTC-3057 for ZDoom (July 2004) and Ni'mRoD - Project Doom for Skulltag (December 2005), both won Cacowards. The team's Doom 3: Phobos mod started in 2004 underwent over 14 years of development time before reaching major releases in Episode 1 (December 2018) and Episode 2 (September 2020).

Origin
The team was formed by X-Blade in early 2000 to work on ZDoom total conversion Doom 3057. In 2001 the project merged with Shaviro's The RTC Corporation to form hybrid title RTC-3057 that would focus on level design with ZDoom hubs. Shaviro later took over the reins as team lead and chief level designer of RTC-3057.

History
The team website was hosted on doomhq.com from 2000 until 2001 when Shaviro moved it to his own domain name nautrup.com with a new web design by Boris Iwanski. Progress updates were published until the RTC-3057: Blue hub was released on July 27, 2004. The project's preview demo level was named to Top 100 WADs of All Time under 2003, and the completed hub was named a winner in Cacowards 2004.

In December 2004, Team Future announced Doom 3: Phobos, a new mod for Doom 3 with a storyline acting as an unofficial sequel for Doom 3. The team's website was redesigned by new team member (and modeller) Kristian Käll (Kristus), and moved to his Doomworld-hosted page. An online forum for the project also opened on MancuNET.

During 2005, Kristus lead a new Doom II project Ni'mRoD - Project Doom under the Team Future banner which was a Skulltag mod and multiplayer sequel to Kristus' 2002 WAD Ni'mRoD - IXNAY on the HOMBRE. Project Doom also won a 2005 Cacoward, this time in the deathmatch category.

Doom 3: Phobos development screenshots were posted to the Doomworld forums over many years with publicly-available information quieting by 2007. In August 2008, Team Future relaunched with a new web site at domain name tfuture.org. In June 2011, Team Future started a Twitter account to share Doom 3: Phobos progress.

After a 14 year development cycle, Episode 1 of Doom 3: Phobos was completed on December 3, 2018. Its followup Episode 2 appeared September 27, 2020.
