First, I should say I'm new to the FreeDoom forums, though I've been a Doom fan since my family first got a computer when I was 3. I think the FreeDoom project is great as a free Doom II IWAD. For some reason, it actually works better for me as the IWAD for Hacx than the "real" Doom II IWAD. I was wondering though, since I plan on doing a few sprites, what's the story or the theme of FreeDoom? It may sound like a stupid question, but I think it's important so all of the graphics have a thematic cohesion. It wouldn't make much difference to gameplay, but I'd just like to know if I'm going to make a sprite for a demon, a mutant, or an alien :P
I always thought the absence of scientists in Doom 1 was a little odd, since the Phobos and Deimos facilities were set up for research. If FreeDoom follows the same story, or a similar one, I could make the regular possessed soldiers into possessed scientists with a sidearm, and the shotgun soldiers more like security or marines. This is all just speculative though. I haven't made any good looking sprites before. Just simple ones for an RPG I was working on years ago.
