July 1998 keeps moving, and today the headline is simple: Major DOOM source projects Join forces. the linked page is the official announcement off the the official WInDoom/glDoom Homepage that several major DOOM source projects have joined forces: Several of the teams responsible for DOOM “source ports”, after considerable discussion, have agreed to merge in the future.

The TeamTNT “BOOM” team and the DOSDoom team are going to pool their teams. Bruce Lewis (WinDOOM) and Florian “Proff” Schulze (PRBOOM) have joined TeamTNT, bringing many of the major efforts together. The teams each have versions out now, and after stabilization of those versions, we will proceed into design discussions for the next phase of the combined engine. For PC players watching every demo, patch, driver and announcement right now, this is one more thing to keep on the board.
