= Blasphemer

Note: The official Blasphemer data pack is downloadable free of charge. Any profits made from third party sales of the data or modifications thereof do not go to the original Blasphemer developers.

Blasphemer aims to create a free content package for the Heretic engine, with a theme of metal-inspired dark fantasy.

== How to play

Any limit-removing Doom source port that is compatible with Heretic can be used to play Blasphemer. Blasphemer is an iwad, meaning the complete set of resources required for a game but still requires an executable engine to be played. You can turn your favorite Heretic pwads into Lovecraftian nightmares using Blasphemer.

Make sure to use [source,bash]

-deh blasphem.hhe -hhever 1.3

with crispy-heretic. Will need to use [source,bash]

-heretic

with dsda-heretic.

== What “free” means

When we speak of free content or software, we refer to the movement in which your freedoms to use, copy, modify, and study a work is not infringed. For example, you may freely use Blasphemer for any purpose you see fit, you may redistribute it to anyone without needing to ask for permission, you may modify it (provided you keep the license intact, see COPYING), and you may study it--for example, to see how an “IWAD” is built. To facilitate this, you can get the full source code for Blasphemer, in this case, in the form of a DeuTex tree.

You may read more about free software at the https://www.gnu.org/[GNU] and https://www.fsf.org/[Free Software Foundation] websites.
