Hi!

I just wanted to ask why does Fresh blood supply look so different to any other source port or recreation?

If i remember it correctly the original Dos version looked alot like fresh blood supply when it comes to the lights and colors.
I might be wrong though.

Is BloodGDX going to replicate the colors and lights in the future?

It's because the original game used lookup tables for shading (because it was faster than multiplication) while BuildGDX's renderer uses multiplicative shading.

I believe it is something M210 is looking to implement in his new renderer.

NBlood has the original coloring as well, with even more accuracy than FS.

It's faster on CPU. But my and Nblood's shader implement is slower, because it have to handle each pixel separately. BloodGdx will have palette emulation as fast as I complete it

Great, your project is the most accurate blood experience.

Thank you for your contribution to this topic

While I’m writing this anyway, I can report that M210 has said on Discord that the next version of BuildGDX will have software rendering, which will help him make the palette shader for Polymost.
