'''TNT: Evilution''', released on {{timeline|1996|June 17, 1996}}, forms one half of [[Final Doom]], a commercial product which consists of two 32-level [[Doom II]] [[IWAD]]s (the other being [[The Plutonia Experiment]]). It was completed in November 1995, and was to have been released for free. However, a publishing deal was brokered by [[John Romero]] the night before its planned release, resulting in the commercial publication of Final Doom by [[id Software]]. This commercialization of TNT: Evilution caused a certain amount of controversy within the Doom community, and Evilution is consequently one of [[Doomworld]]'s "[[Top 10 Infamous WADs]]", albeit not for reasons of gameplay or level design.

According to [[Dario Casali]], the "TNT" in the title originally stood for "Trials 'N Tribulations",{{cite web|author=Dario Casali|title=Final Doom: Evilution. What's it like 28 years later? Map 15 - Dead Zone|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orSxDPOGQxg|publication=YouTube|publishdate=6 November 2022|accessdate=9 November 2022}} but later it officially became known as "The New Technology", representing the name of the mapping team, [[TeamTNT]], who created it.

Eleven levels from the IWAD are featured in the [[Final Doom (PlayStation)|Sony PlayStation]] version of Final Doom.

In 2023, TNT: Evilution was included in [[Doomworld]]'s [[Doot Eternal]] music feature for Doom's 30th anniversary.

==Story==
In TNT: Evilution the [[UAC]], now under strict government supervision, are once again intent on developing and experimenting with dimensional gateway technology. With hopes that increased distance would help protect the [[Earth]], they set up a base on [[Io]]{{fact}}, one of the moons of Jupiter, with a solid detachment of marines from the United States Space Marine Corps for protection. The marines do their job well: when the first experimental gateway is opened they annihilate the forces of [[Hell]]. Anything that came through the gateway was immediately destroyed by the marines, and so research on the gateways continued. The marines are all awarded the Silver Star by the government in gratitude. Research went on, less cautiously than before.

A few months later, the yearly supply ship came earlier than expected, and looked strange and unusually large on the radar. The personnel of the base went out to behold the terrible truth: it was a spaceship from [[Hell]], built of steel, stone, flesh, bone and corruption. The ship's enormous gates opened to unleash a rain of demons on the base. Quickly, the whole base was overrun, and everyone was slain or [[Former human|zombified]].

The [[Doomguy]], now in command of the marine deployment, had been away on a walk, and thus escaped death or zombification. After being attacked by an [[imp]] he rushes back to the base, where he sees the demonic spaceship still hovering above it and realizes what has happened. Then he swears that he will seek revenge for his slain troops, and sets out to slay as many evil creatures as possible.

==Levels==
As in Doom II, the levels can be divided up into four sets. There are three loose episodes each defined by its own sky texture (1-11, 12-20 and 21-30) and two secret levels (31-32). The player is presented with a [[text screen]] in between the episodes (before levels 12 and 21). Additional textual interludes appear before level 7, before each secret level, and at the conclusion of the game. The designers of each map were unveiled by [[Ty Halderman]] in a {{dwforumsp|357008|post}} at the [[Doomworld]] forums in 2004, showing that several level designs were shared between multiple authors.
