You guys should check out the Blood Alpha if you haven't. Although definitely not a complete game like the actual release, it serves as a great tech demo. Putting yourself in an early-1996 mindset, there is some impressive stuff here. Translucent, breakable glass, positional audio, destructable walls, rubble and shrapnel, sloped floors and ceilings, etc.
You can press the left and right bracket ("[" and "]") keys to test the first person camera tilting.

Inside the archive are text files with correspondence between some of the devs. Apparently, they were pissed at Ken Silverman for not being open to ideas and making changes to BUILD that kept breaking the game. Many features had to be written in-house by the devs at Q Studios. Interesting reads.

Other internal documents regarding monster designs and stuff as well, with devs making many comparisons to Doom.
