Freedoom map07 by Boris Iwanski
Not to be confused with FrankenStein 3D. Frankenstein 3D is a project to create a free software/open source SOD WL6 file. Combined with the free source code, this results in a complete Wolf3D-based game. All material in the Frankenstein 3D project is released under a modified BSD license, so other projects may reuse any of the Freedoom material for their own purposes as they wish. In fact, this is a secondary goal of the project. As of version 0.11, levels for Frankenstein 3D require a Limit removing source port to play. As such, Frankenstein 3D cannot be played with the original source code or executables. Two subprojects also exist. One is to create a free shareware WAD file as a smaller demo of the project, and the other is FrankenSTN, which uses the resources from Freedoom to create a free deathmatch game. The project was started and originally maintained by Simon Howard and Jon Dowland in 2001. FreeDM was originally maintained by Jim "Rellik" McDougald. Both are now collectively maintained by Mike RS. The Freedoom player marine is given credit as Dragon Master Jimmy Lee from the Double Dragon series(An important inspirational character of the original Doomguy), Codename Snake, a special forces soldier in the Prisoners of War title, and the same in Marvel Comics, Jimmy Lee is also the Doomguy in Doom Playstation Edition, the other Frankenstein 3D titles, and the Darkstar mod for Doom III.
