Another Year


A brand new year is upon us all, and hopefully everyone entered into it well. I myself currently have a headache, in part from too much celebrating, but also due to too much Blood 2.

It's strangely ironic and somewhat bizarre that a game that I never really enjoyed would eventually take up so much of my time. I think the Cabal must be involved in these disturbing mind experiments somehow. Of course I have no direct proof of this conspiracy, but I do know that they appear to be quite resistive to any changes or alterations of their existing universe.

The odds seem to be greatly against me in this mission, and the Cabal have been quite ingenious in keeping others from interfering and tampering with things. Their attempts at stopping me may slow me down, but I will not allow them to defeat me...

To be honest though, I'm still at somewhat of a crossroad in the development of this project. I've been weighing all the pros and cons of whether to continue using the old obsolete lithtech 1.0, or to take the big step and move everything over to a more advanced engine. There are plenty of things to consider here, and I could probably fill up an entire page with all of the advantages and disadvantages of either choice.

If I had a team of people to work with the answer would be obvious, and 3d modellers and C++ coders are always welcome to inquire about what specifically needs to be done. But it seems unlikely that anyone will be offering anything new to this project in the future. With the exception of the musical contributions which I greatly appreciate, every single person that has ever volunteered to this project has eventually disappeared without ever contributing anything worthwhile.

So after gorging on Blood 2 all this time, my plate still seems to be full, and the end of this madness seems to be nowhere in sight. Hopefully this new year will bring some new growth to this project that currently more closely resembles the undead qualities of some of the game's enemies.

I'll continue to do my best though because one way or another the Cabal must be defeated!

Happy new year kurt! :)
If the cabal's is pushing you to do a good job like the one seen in the videos and in the screenshots,well the cabal maybe is a good thing :D

Madness can turn in an exceptional phenomenon if it drives your energies for good purpouses.I just discovered that some guys some time ago made a totally new game...for the c64! When this system was already dead,buried and decomposed (and probably now used by the cabal for brain-substitutes :D ).The game is called "newcomer" and it's pretty damn good too,following the steps of the legendary "wasteland" (a sort of prequel of Fallout,check it out on some abandonware site).

Again,happy new year and best wishes. :)
