August 02 2012, I felt a great disturbance in the Bloodo'sphere. A million voices cried out in tumultuous joy, then all fell silent as we went back to eating our cheezy puffs. Just after that, Jace Hall, CEO and founder of Monolith Productions popped up on the Postmortem and posted this in a new thread:

Hello,
My name is Jason (Jace) Hall and some of you may know of me.
I have been contemplating the idea bringing Blood back and was wondering how people might feel about it or if they were interested in helping me to do it.
To be clear, I am thinking of bringing the ORIGINAL Blood game back as it was, with functionality alterations/enhancements that are similar but superior to ZDAEMON's. I would also make it work on all platforms, and not just PC. There are other things as well...
I have a very specific vision in mind for what I'd like to do, but before I go off and do it - I wanted to speak directly with the Blood community and see what the thoughts are.
My goal of course is for this all to be free, and all about gameplay and fun. You can rest assured that I have the resources to bring BLOOD back properly but like I said, I'm hoping to have the community participate in all this if it wants to so we can all do it together. This site is great and it would be great to see the Blood community grow!
What do you all think?
Jace

This set in motion a great deal of uncomfortable shuffling. Many questioned the identity of the poster. Some didn't know what to think. Eventually we all came around and the expected demands, questioning and offish fawning ensued. Eventually, Jace posted the following:
Hello all.
I did not expect such a tremendous response from my basic inquiry but it is good to see and has certainly encouraged me further as I evaluate this.
I've seen a lot of good ideas and wish list items, and it would be great if there was some way to create an ongoing master list that everyone can see and contribute to so that it can be available if I decide to really move forward on the idea.
I have reached out to all the necessary companies/rights holders to verify that previous conversations that I have had with them in the past are still valid and so I am waiting to hear back on the status of that before I can come to any final conclusion in the matter. At the moment, Gamescon is a bit of a distraction for them but after that I should be able to better engage and get to the bottom of things.
We shall see how this goes. Baby steps.
Jace
And this is how things stand as of now. There's little point in commenting, it's really best if you read through the whole thread at posty. Have fun and be polite.
