Blood is a gory 3D 1st-person shooter which is based on Ken Silverman's 'BUILD' engine. The code was originally from Ken's code. Blood uses a complex game engine, It introduced several new effects and tricks that any BUILD Engine fan would hope fore. The project changed hands from publisher 3DRealms and developer QStudios to developer Monolith and publisher GT. QStudios was absorbed by Monolith then ultimately finished by them. lith.com/Games/Blood.

Matt Saettler, was partly behind the enhancement/creation of this BUILD Engine game. He also Worked later on doing NAM and WWII  GI as the sole programmer. Those games where also Duke3D Based and mechanics are closely matched. He is also programmer of the Enhanced Duke3D "patch," which is his latest public DOS BUILD Engine project.

Description

 

Blood for blood.

They promised many things.

"Faith is the key," they said. "Faith will show you the way." And I believed them because I wanted to believe.

But faith must be proven. I learned that the first time I wrapped my fingers around the haft of the ritual dagger to demonstrate my devotion to the One that Binds. They had not told me about Him, but there would be many lessons in the weeks to come. Unthinkable lessons. And a name to carry like a thorn in my conscience, a name never to be spoken aloud lest He hear me: Tchernobog.

All I've earned by my labor and my sacrifices are more and greater promises. I've carved my soul to shreds in service of the Cabal. What little humanity I retain is corrupted by the Beast, which has grown stronger with every life I've taken. Well, the time has come to sate its appetite and bite the hand that feeds.

Vengeance lies at the end of a long, bloody road through the very estates of the damned. Pity only that I have no greater weapon than this old pitchfork with which to still the rustling of leathery wings and douse the gleam of the eyes in the darkness. But I will exact blood for blood from my adversaries and send them back into the shadows between the world of the living and the land of the dead. This I vow."

Experience the terror.

You'll battle cultists, gargoyles, zombies, hellhounds, and an unholy host of other terrors in your quest to stop Tchernobog. You must not only defeat the Cabal--you must scour its dread name from human memory. If that means eradicating everyone and everything the Cabal has ever tainted, so be it.

Of course, you'll first have to make your way through fortresses, castles, mines, mansions, and estates guarded and kept by Tchernobog's malevolent servants. Fortunately, it is wits that make the hero, and although you're in serious danger of losing yours, you've got enough left to improvise some pretty effective tools of destruction. Aerosol hairspray can be frightening enough on its own, but apply it to a lighter flame and you've got an instant flamethrower (kids, don't try this at home!). Likewise, a flare gun can brighten your prospects considerably against even the grimmest odds, which is to say nothing for shotguns, Tommy guns, and dynamite. Who knows, you may even find that there are some spirits on your side when you find yourself clutching a voodoo doll.

Features/Technology

 

 

blood-logo3-pretype1.gif (13726 bytes)
Game:
  • Build, a powerful 3D Realms engine written by K. Silverman, boasts some of the hottest features available in a 3D game.
  • Sloped or slanted floors and ceilings, allowing levels to have interesting and realistic architecture.
  • True rooms above rooms and real bridges.
  • Moving sectors can be made to rotate, incline, and move in many of other ways, making for a realistic and dangerous environment.
  • Multiple colors of light.
  • All sprites and game characters cast real-time shadows, adding to realism and anchoring enemies in the environment.
  • Head canting, clockwise and counterclockwise, a full 360 degrees.
  •  The ability to look up and down by about 40 degrees each way.
  • Many X mode and SVGA resolutions supported.
  • The MapEdit level editor, a significantly enhanced version of Build, is extremely powerful and easy to use. It allows for fast editing in both 2D view mode and 3D mode.
  • The 3D editing mode allows level designers to see what they're creating in real-time including lighting effects and z motion positions (ex: you can open and close doors).
  • Parts of the environment can be destroyed or otherwise affected during game play.
Sound:
  • Even though the Sound is only 8-bit and recorded at 11025 and 22050, it plays back decently.
  • The game has 3D Spatial for 2 channels, and it really captures where a sound is coming from. Its makes all the difference.
  • There's sound for jibs that are laid about the ground. They use squirting and rupturing type sounds for when body organs land on the ground. Explosions, gunshots, and screams are crisp and clear. There was a problem with reusing the sound of the pitch fork hitting a wall, for a sound of a shotgun blast hitting the wall. It just didn't sound right and it didn't give the feeling that there where pellets hitting around me.
  • The under water sounds seem wrong to me, not enough bass.
Art:
  • Enemy graphics are detailed (hi-res) and the color scheme feels appropriate. Some would argue that the colors and textures are kinda bland, but this is more or less part of the theme of things.
  • There are many awesome looking voxels throughout Blood, such as guns, ammo, headstones, crystal ball, tnt barrels, etc. There is even a Voxel on a wall, at the end of E1L4 Dark Carnival, you will see a big Cross way up above the end level switch.
  • The flare gun shoots white hot flares that stick to actor sprites. There is some simulated dynamic light with sprites when shooting. The light travels with the projectile on the ceiling, wall, floor and even on such things as sprite bridges.
More Details:
  • A special note about Alternate fire. This is a single key that can be re-mapped to such places as the second mouse button where you would use it today. Blood also has the alternate weapon function. The Dynamite slot has a total of three separate choices, Dynamite, Prox Dynamite and Remote Dynamite and works similar to Duke3Ds alternate weapon. They reused a weapon slot, double hit on a single key switches between the normal weapon and the alternate weapon...
  • The fire used in the game is handled nicely, except for the point you can't catch on fire from burring bodies. It doesn't even hurt you.
  • A minor particle engine exists that break away from the flares and fires.

 

 

Weapons

 

 

 

blood-pitchfork.gif (1900 bytes)Pitchfork is useful to save you ammo, and is very useful verse the Axe Zombies. Cultist just fire at you and laugh. If you want to use this on Rats you'll need to crouch down to effectively hit them.

 

blood-flaregun.gif (1170 bytes)Flare Gun  is just that. It shoots out signaling flares. When you shoot at an enemy it will lodge into there flesh and stick there. They will glow for a bit before erupting into flames. Sometimes you may need a second shot if the flare burns to quickly. On larger enemies you'll have to pump three or four into them to get them to erupt into flames. Unfortunately flares go out in water, unlike a real flare that would keep on burning. The alternate fire launches a burst of flares that break apart on contact producing a bunch of fires in a large area. When combined with the Guns Akimbo power up you can fire fairly rapidly.
Ammo: Flares

 

blood-sawshotgun.gif (1150 bytes)Sawed-Off Double Barrel Shotgun  tends to be general equipment in any good FPS. Its perfect for close and tight areas. It fires a single shot, two shots max before reloading. The alter ternate fire shoots both barrels at once. This thing throws your enemy back in most cases. Its highly effective with the Guns Akimbo power up.
Ammo: Shotgun shells

 

blood-tommygun.gif (1508 bytes)Thompson's Machine Gun  or Tommy Gun for short is a high speed shooter with great accuracy. A good stream of bullets can hold the enemy at a distance. The alternate fire is produces a sweeping attack from left to right. It allows you to shoot at wider angles quickly with more rounds. Its not all that effective.  Manually covering a wider area seems to prove a better choice. Cool effect nether the less. Guns Akimbo makes this gun and isn't killer.
Ammo: Bullet drums 

 

blood-dynamite.gif (1030 bytes)Dynamite Bundles  is a bundle of six sticks. You have have two firing modes. One you hold down the button, the longer you hold the button down the farther you can throw it. It appears to explode on contact with an enemy. You'll see a effort meter lights up when you hold the button down, watch for it on the status bar. Just don't hold it to long or the wick will burn out and the dynamite explodes in your face. The alternate mode will toss the dynamite with the wick intact, it will burn a few seconds before erupting.
Ammo: Dynamite bundle

 

blood-dynamiteremote.gif (1219 bytes)Remote Detonators  are dynamite bundles without a wick. Instead they have a radio detonator strapped to the larger eight stick bundle and you hold the Remote. The dynamite won't detonate on impact so tossing it around is an option.  The alternate fire mode will drop a  bundle on the floor, right below you. You can keep using the alternate mode to drop additional bundles until your satisfied you have enough explosive built up. You can then move away and Remotely detonate the entire stack. Another option is to drop a Proximity Detonator in the pile and leave it for a trap.
Ammo: Remote detonator

 

blood-dynamiteprox.gif (1162 bytes)Proximity Detonators  are dynamite bundles without a wick. Instead they have a proximity detonator strapped to the six stick bundle. The first firing mode is the same as the standard Dynamite Bundle, you toss it where you want. The alternate firing mode drops them on the ground right below you. Move away quick 'cause they arm soon after contact.
Ammo: Proximity detonator

 

blood-napalmcannon.gif (1395 bytes)Napalm Incinerator  This weapon dispatches a big ball of burning napalm. Upon contact it produces an explosion and sets your enemy in flames. The alternate firing mode dispatches several burning napalm balls all in one shot. Guns Akimbo are supported for this weapon.
Ammo: Gasoline cans

 

blood-vodoodoll.gif (1263 bytes)Voodoo Doll  The doll is like a pin couching, you repeatedly stab the doll to cause injury to your enemy. They have to be near you and in line of site. If they are not and you stick the doll, you will take damage instead. The damage isn't all that great but its fun to hear them moan each time you stick the doll. The alternate fire uses up 20 points of ammo per use but the effect and damage is great. Unfortunately or fortunate the developers changed the ammo use for alternate fire from 20 points to the entire ammo capacity of the doll in the Plasma Pak.
Ammo: Voodoo doll

 

blood-aerosolcan.gif (1148 bytes)Aerosol Can  and a Zippo Lighter produce a portable flamethrower. Its a short range weapon but it does set aflame your enemies if need be. It works great on small creatures like rats and spiders. It may take some time to light up larger enemies. An alternate mode allows you to set the can on fire and toss it for a grenade effect. The alternate firing mode simple drops a lit can at your feet, a few seconds later it will explode.
Ammo: Aerosol Can

 

blood-teslagune.gif (1280 bytes)Tesla Cannon  emanates a controlled electrical charge to zap your enemies. You'll see there skeletons flash when you zap them. The alternate fire mode will make the gun build up high pre-amp charge, within a few seconds the charge is dispensed into a huge electrical blast. The Guns Akimbo power up also works with this weapon.
Ammo: Batteries

 

blood-lifeleech.gif (1464 bytes)Life Leech This is a handy weapon and tool. The weapon portion of the Life Leech produces rapidly firing fire balls. Supplied by the health of your enemies. If your supply of ammo runs out it will use your health as ammo, so watch how much you use. The alternate fire mode allows you to place the Leech down "on" the ground. It will fire in any direction where the enemy is. In this mode it won't draw health from you, it will just run out of ammo. As a tool the Leech can be used as a step to get up to higher locations. Place it on the ground and you instantly have a boost in height available to you.
Ammo: Trapped Souls

blood-doctorsbag.gif (1360 bytes)Doctors Bag When you pick this item up it sits in your inventory until you want to use it. Using the "M" Key will use the bag. It will restore up to 100 points of  health given enough percentage exists. Any unused portions of the Bag will remain until you need it again. Its best to use this bag as a last resort to restore your health. rely on other items and only use the bag if you have to. If you find another Doctors Bag, insure you deplete the one you already have or it will go to waste upon picking up the new bag.

blood-invunrability.gif (1751 bytes)Death Mask Makes you invulnerable to any kind of attack. You will not receive any damage. This is only temporally and it will end without any warning.

Or if they come nearby, just shoot two Shotgun's alternative fires...

 

blood-phantasm-anim.gif (22164 bytes)

 

blood-stonegargoyle.gif (4156 bytes)Stone Gargoyles are the same as standard Gargoyles except there a bit more aggressive and they usually come alive from stone sculptures. They don't do this all the time , but enough that you'll watch your back when passing a statue.

You can avoid an attack by moving far enough away or get out of line of site. Don't bother jumping off the ground as there stomp is more than a ground rumbling attack, its evil.

Ironically the developers originally wanted the Beast to be a mutation for the player character Cabel. It never made it into the release and was salvage for use in the plasma pak.
