Jace is such a tease.

I hope this actually leads to something

They ported Blood to the 2600 obv

Let's see if anything comes off of it this time.

[Psycho87]

Yeah, let's hope so.

A source code release would be ideal, but Jace has never seemed interested in that, so this is likely about Blood 3 or a remastered version of the original game.

I'm not sure how I feel about a remastered version though. Personally all I want is mostly the original game with bug fixes, a truly 3D hardware-accelerated renderer, better multiplayer support and more modding features such as TROR.

[HulkNukem]

I'd like the original reworked to run on current machines, with bug fixes and the like.
It'd also be great if they made a new episode too, ala with Quake 1

This seems most likely.

Hey guys, found a copy of One Unit Whole Blood today in a thrift store (for three bucks, nonetheless) and it's in mint condition... with one caveat. For some reason it has a (near mint condition) copy of the Cryptic Passage manual. I have no idea how this happened, but I'd really like to get a OUWB manual for this. Does anyone have one they'd be able to part with? I'll pay for it. As for the Cryptic Passage manual, I'll give it to anyone who needs one to complete their copy of CP for free. If it makes a difference to anyone, I'm not going to be selling this. I want it for myself.

i just realized that Blood will have its 20th anniversary within a couple of months (31th may)... and with all the "recent" posts from Jace Hall regarding Blood (the tweets "discussing secrets", ...)... could this mean they are actually planning some re-release (maybe with some extra's like WT) in honor of Blood turning 20 ? Or... would it be better not to get our hopes up?

[Hendricks266]

Happy 20th birthday Blood! (Blood 1.0 shareware)

[DavoX]

Hell yeah!

The only thing Blood-related that would satisfy me would be the release of Blood's source code or at the very least, wresting the rights away from Atari.

I agree, but I doubt Jace would pay all that money for the right just to release the source code for Blood. Jace would need to know that he would at least make some money back on his investment. I just hope he decides to do a steam shovelware port using eduke32 and releases the source code along with the purchase of the game.

I never said he would get the rights solely to release the source code, but at the very least, he has to get the legal situation with Atari sorted out. That's the main problem here. As long as Atari holds the IP, his hands are tied.

[Lunick]

Remember that Atari has publishing rights for the series and Warner Brothers are the ones actually holding the IP.

This looks very promising...

[BloodGuy]

It's supercool that the hype around Blood, Duke and other oldschool FPS is high and so many people are active.

BloodGDX looks promising too!

I put some guys together and we are developing on a new Build-Engine-like Game Engine, currently called ReBuild.
We want to make a Blood-inspired game called TrashGore where you play a butcher who must save the world from zombie-animals that are the result of rancid meat he sold





The engine is 90% done and we started developing!
Once we have gameplay you will read about it, i swear

This was a kinda fast turnaround.
Very excited to try this out

[BloodGuy]

Heya, and another great news:
Just found out a great blood-fan just released a 5-EPISODE sized Blood Add-On that, as he says, took him 5 years of development!

Reading through M210's FAQ and there are a few things that irk me.

How is Blood 1.0 more "readable" than Blood 1.21 after reverse-engineering? I'm not a Blood Expert by any means but was there any significant improvements that are going to missing due to the "port" being based on 1.0 instead of 1.21? As well as any incompatibilities?

The screen resolution thing is weird too because I don't understand what it means that it will "still look like 320x200" and stretched. Does that mean there isn't any proper widescreen support?

I think Alt fires for some of the weapons, although he promised to make them later

The thing that strikes me is that the gameplay in his latest video seems REALLY accurate.

BloodCM was cleary a total conversion of Duke3D.... But BloodGDX... well I'm really excited to try this thing out :-)

I would challenge you(or anyone) to play BloomCM and BloodGDX back to back. I doubt you guys could tell the difference(besides BloomCM is more complete ). I do hope that Jace shares the source code with the community. I would buy the ineviditable steam shovelware port if it included the source code.
