Jace Hall is doing something with Blood:

He gauged interest for a crowdfunding campaign back in June:

in b4 closed sourced port with shitty blurry 3D renderer with no real widescreen support, "dynamic lights" and laggy multiplayer.

Sold for 15bucks. It's going to do wonders.

I am exaggerating but I don't have high hopes. The plans he first talked to when he resurfaced were never about releasing the sourcecode, but rather to do "his" thing with "his" game.

True, he also keeps mentioning Condemned and says "Top secret" whenever he's asked about it. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though when he tweets a picture like this.

About the Atari console, yeah, I guess it's a in reference to the current license holder, unfortunately he'll have to come to an arrangement with them I guess.

I can't justifty crowdfunding some new iteration of Blood.

Game budgets are too steep in USA for niche communities to fund. Blood isn't as recognized. It could probably be outsourced (with great oversight to not screw up the formula) to Flying Wild Hog in Poland, presuming lower costs of development would require less funding. The studio released SW games, so they could bring in more crowd to fund the game too.

Unrelated to Blood, new screenie from the upcoming Bombshell game. Judging by the twitter posts the devs want to make it a true 90s shooter.

Yeah me too. It's missing that slight contrast and color. But maybe it's made so the enemies stand out as much as possible ?

Blood is actually in need of one so long as we get a functioning source port out of it. You can't even play the game above a certain resolution anymore without the framerate shitting itself.

As for the "Blood project" itself, we don't know, we can only guess, maybe there isn't even anything, but in the original FB post Jace Hall tagged Matt Saettler, we worked on Blood (and other Build games) and who is said to have the sourcecode, as well as Kevin Kilstrom who was art designed on Blood.

>>3349052
Honestly I don't know. Only if it's good. I'd still rather play SW in DOSbox than with Redux, and DN3D Megaton is even worse. If it's a professional to be sold port of the same caliber, budget might be tight and it could end up as average.

He probably doesn't want to get himself and others into a bunch of shit over copyright infringement. Once the code's released there's no way to roll it back.

If he ever wanted to do anything like that it would've been smarter to do it then, now it's all too risky.
