Blood - From the workshop of Kevin Kilstrom, Plus mods/maps/launchers thread

[A horse of course]

Well, difference would be that he somehow made NotAtari's thousand lawyers budge. Or, at least he thinks he did. Back when he was trying to do that re-release couple of years ago, NotAtari ended up pulling the plug on the project.

He doesn't even mention the last attempt, though, which makes me suspicious that he's just begging for cuckstarter attention in the vague hope lawyers at WB or whatever will get off their asses and make a formal claim to the rights. Didn't the (Nightdive trying to get)NOLF guy just give up after trying something similar?

 

[tormund]

AFAIK ND claimed that Blood IP is out of their price range (they tweeted that rights were "crazy expensive" or something like that).

I looked it up, it was Devolver Digital (not ND) that was trying to buy the rights but claimed that they were too pricey for them

Them not buying the IP is just as well, since as I've mentioned earlier that would probably mean Flying Wild Hog developed Blood sequel or reboot.

They will probably try to talk with Atari skeleton crew representative about the IP rights for remake/source port. I wouldn't mind something like a Zandronum plus doomseeker for Blood, with all the maps and campaigns available on one server to download. As for kickstarter, it all depends on the ammount of the money they will ask for. Companies tend to sit on the IP's instead of actually doing something with them and trying to be less greedy. Jason is a great guy, but he will have try really hard to resurrect Caleb.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Not directly Blood related, but author of BloodCM decided to work on another Build title... TekWar.

Game is apparently already fully playable with his port, in case someone wants to try it out (for science, of course).

I'd love to play through an updated TekWar. I've tried playing it a few times but lose interest within an hour.

I just saw this on Steam forums http://steamcommunity.com/app/299030/discussions/0/45350791805060971/?ctp=77#c276237094309051822
They were apparently recently posted by Kaiser on reddit, but on the other hand someone could have easily edited screens from Blood CM. Anyone has any info on this?

 

[tormund]

So, I'm a bit late with this, but these are damn good news. Author of BloodCM is now well into development of proper reverse engineered port, one that should be able to play existing user made content.

I continue writing a Blood port. At this video you can see HUD with original dynamic model of weapon (weapon loaded from QAV), zombieAI (zombie's animation loaded from SEQ) and loaded map e1m5 So, my port can read RFF files (all versions except alpha version), SEQ files, QAV files and standart build files...PLU files not reading yet.

Mouse and Sounds also not support yet, work in progress

:russia:
Here's hoping that it fares better than Kaiser and XL Engine attempts. At least we saw more of it at this point, and this guy has a record of actually finishing his stuff.

Unity engine ? If you are trying to do a full 3d remake, it's better to use Unreal engine. There is project on Moddb with pictures only. Translations of old 2.5 FPS games into full 3d look entirely different when it comes to the movement and weapons - monsters interactions. Most of them are for the learning purpose only, so it will be forever WIP.

Hi there At first, I'm a bit rename my port, it's will be called BloodGDX now.

My port is almost done, there is some problems with priority of sounds, and some bugs.So, I will make a first release very soon.

 

[soulburner]

The mouselook seems incredibly choppy. Can't wait for updates!

 

[Maggot]

BloodGDX is looking good even in its current state full of issues. I can't believe we might see an accurate port in our lifetime.

 

[Ninja Destroyer]

I'll wait for the polished version, since I've already lost any hope that one of the projects will be completed anyway. Right now the sound is very sloow and it quickly blends creating a noise/industrial soundtrack for me. The gameplay though, it so smooth ! There is an option for user episodes/maps from the beginning.

 

[Astral Rag]

Played through the first episode and didn't run into any serious issues. I encountered some nasty HOMs but other than that everything was fine. Initially sound and mouse input were buggy but later updates fixed those problems for me.

Playing Blood in SVGA at a constant 100fps is just glorious.

I hope MP gets added later down the line.

edit: I forgot to mention that voxel objects are not (yet?) present. Seeing sprites instead of familiar voxels is a bit weird initially but it doesn't really bother me.

Blood is the shit and you should play it. That is all.
