Damage Control

Things have gotten rather frantic in the last week as accusations and anger became the norm over at the postmortem. I wasn't the only one in a blue funk concerning the closing of Blood2 Resurrection. It was, quite frankly, a low point in Blood modding history and friendships were strained to say the least. Fortunately the worst is over. Kurt Fuhr has pulled B2R from the brink and put it in hiatus lite. B2R's creator followed up with a commitment to continuing work on the B2R project at a later date. Kurt has also made it clear that the number of updates will be dramatically reduced.

No word yet about Cradle to Grave, Although longtime bloodite Final_Caleb has produced several high resolution sprites of a latex/silicon Tchernobog model that can be articulated. Modders Dimebog and Daedolon have been in contact with him concerning these sprites. What this team is planning hasn't been publicly released .

The Hypertension team is approaching a sample alpha release of their TC using the EDGE engine. This mod has undergone rapid development in the short time span it's been around. Some of the effects would be ground braking for the Edge/doom community if they work.

I've been looking and looking for this commercial for some time with the intention of posting it here. This is a parody version of the commercial in question but it will do. Now kick back and enjoy a highly concentrated dose of cultic mania... AND STAY WARM!

Blood flesh and tears.

Many wonderful and tragic things are afoot in the Blood modding community.
Kurt fuhr is putting the highly promising Blood 2 Resurrection on hiatus, while Clari87 is finalizing the game play aspects of the upcoming Hypertension mod for the EDGE engine. No word about Cradle to grave or Transfusion. Rest assured they will be reported on here once the dust has settled. I'm in a serious blue funk over the resurrection mod and can't seem to get out of it.

For some reason, this youtube makes me feel better.

Bloodites dilemma

The Blood community is currently in flux as I write this. There are a grand total of 3 projects trying to recreate blood to various degrees. How this will all pan out is anyones guess. 

Blood 2 Resurrection is toying with the idea of moving to the Jupiter engine. Kurt Fuhr is undecided wether he can continue to tolerate lithtech 1.0's oddities and gamer apathy.

Cradle to grave is experimenting with using the build engine. They don't have a web page yet but if they can fine tune Eduke32 they may transform into a full fledged project.

Here's the video.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP--uGsYz_Y

The Transfusion team is openly discussing the abandonment of the Darkplaces engine for Quake 3.

More news soon.

Just a tiny update. I'll be reporting on a new project for zdoom soon. My lack of updates is due strictly to a failure to find cultist vids on youtube. So hang tight and watch ZaRDoZ explain why the penis is evil.

kurt fuhr strikes again!

Kurt, that devious mastermind of all things dedit has sprung one of his best youtubes yet.

Yet another step along the slow road to making a better blood 2.

New Blood 2 patch available!

Filefront has kindly uploaded a Blood2 patch from Overmind. 

This patch gets rid of the in game music bug for those who play Blood2 the Chosen or Shogo MAD on windows XP.

Blood 2 Music Patch

Ever wonder what would happen if a bunch of cultists got hold of the guy who played Moses?

Here's a youtube from the movie Omega Man that answers the Robed Maniac's question!

... Are you fellas really with the Internal Revenue Service?

And so it begins.

W00T!

Daedalus at the Postmortem has announced a new project  porting something called  "Cradle to Grave" to the Eduke32 engine. So from the ashes of the RATM project comes a possible solution for the lack of Blood's source code.

Oh, and here's a Youtube of some melting cultists from
