Assets for games

[Freedoomer]

So I am making a fps game and I was wondering If I could use freedoom's assets? It is completely free and I am making it for fun. It won't go on steam only on itch. I will put in that art is from FreeDooM with a link to the official site.

I wouldn't know the answer to this, but I can only assume it'd probably be okay with the permission of the guys who were behind freedoom.

Ok I will make the game and post a copy when a demo is out. If I get in trouble then I know what not to do.

Go ahead. Free is in the name after all.

You are right

This also allows commercial use, right?

Nevermind, just read the details on the Wikipedia page.

Dont think so. Only royalty free projects.

Which is nice, because one of my commercial projects is balls-deep in Freedoom.
