FreeHeretic?

Suppose if someone (Me? Us?) made a FreeHeretic, with goals similar to that of FreeDOOM, to create a free Heretic based game. Would that be feasible? The texture work may be already cut out for us with that retexture project <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> just have to ask permission. It may be a big task but hey, I just seem to be in the energy for doing sprites this week after doing that Firebrand model and new chaingun a while back. Good idea? Already done? (No i'm not saying you guys have to do it <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P -->) Heh I already got the forums ready and i'm trying to make this project pretty organized too.

I will once I get one more project off my back. And that project is Chiselfest <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> Though you guys are of course free to use any FreeHeretic assets <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->

Sorry for the delay, I've been away... Although I admire your intention, I guess it would be extremely difficult to be able to complete such a huge amount of work, specially by yourself. I know I have a LOT of work to be done and it's hardly redrawing an entire game from scratch, and I still can't figure out how am I supposed to get all done, considering my current life style (heavy college work, and now I'm forced to get a job on week-ends to help paying the bills). If you take a look at the support people list, you'll know it isn't an easy task... I think it's more a question of thinking which is better in a designer point of view: I would much rather spend that time and effort in something new, in some kind of personnal improvement over a game of my choice.

I think it can still be done. I'm not exactly doing EVERY SINGLE THING by myself though. I've already got a few people already <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> Slyus made some excellent item sprites for example. As for the map textures, i'll have to negotiate a bit with the Win clan on that. Well, I can still start off like Freedoom - making a null resource wad for the sake of playability. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.fragfiles.org/~cheapy/fh">http://www.fragfiles.org/~cheapy/fh</a><!-- m --> Oh and I got plenty of time, by the way. I'm not really saying you guys should join or get involved at all, i'm just showing a project <!-- s:P --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" title="Razz" /><!-- s:P --> (I do feel guilty of leeching other team's talents though)
