Attack of the killer egos!

The turmoil hinted at in March is now the norm within the world of Bloodites. I cannot separate myself from what has happened. It's probably for the better that I write about the contortions I've been having to endure because of a controversy that could not be defused. I've been writing about Hypertension in most of my updates, posts and even an interview since January. I will continue to do so. While not a strict recreation of Blood, the Hypertension team has every right to do what they are doing. What engine they choose to use or the degree of faithfulness to the original game cannot be offered as valid excuses for attempting to sabotage someones mod.

I'm sad to report that just such actions have been committed by prominent members of the Blood community. I intend continued support for this mod as long as they try to make a game based on the Blood universe.


There, I needed to say all that. I've had my account at postmortem deleted over this issue (by my request) and the accusations of stealing ideas or game concepts is a baseless one as far as I'm concerned.
