Alrighty folks heres a project that I have been working on for about a week and a half now I been posting in the other "ZBlood" posts with no answer till Crudux Cruo told me to post a new topic page on this seeing as how I have taking "Zblood" and "Zblood+" and put the two together now my coding ain't 100% great so there are some things from both games that still stand. like when loaded up into Zdoom the name of the WAD changes to "ZBLOODX" but the title screen still says "ZBLOOD+" another thing too is that when you go to pic what level of difficulty you want there still is the Doom settings but also the Blood ones are there just underneath it so I mean there is some polish work that will need to be done but thats all being saved for last seening as how you only see that screen once. What I'm after right now is setting the game up so that it looks and feels like the original Blood game. now the work done on the two games have been great just there's one thing I didn't like which was how this WAD felt more like it was worked on hard level design wise but then just slapped together when actually putting in the rest of the game. I mean thanks to who ever made the first Zblood (V4.1 with BludSP1 patch) I was able to beat the game on hard in only 2 days all due to the fact that they just put the hard hitting weapons right on the first level so for right now I'm just weeding through all of this to put the original pick ups in their places also I will be re-doing where all the enemies are because again someone decided it would be smart to put a ton of monsters in levels that don't need to be there. But with this all said here's an over view of what I will be doing.
-going for an original feel of BLOOD (its been said so many times now that I have to do it myself seeing as how this project becomes abandoned even tho everything that is needed is their just needs some polish work)
- all 32 levels from Blood will be in the game (Aside from the fact that some of the expansion levels are in their so I will just keep them in there and do away with Grave to street. Also Un-holy crap will have its name changed to Raw Sewage) also all the levels will be put into their original order like how they were found in blood mind you the expansion levels will replace the less memorable levels.
- Boss battles from the original game will be set into the game also (so you won't be seeing the stone gargoyle, the mother spider, the two headed hell beast or Tchernobog till then. all tho there are a few later levels that feature the mother spider)
So other then that for now thats all I got to say
and don't think I will be abandoning this build because I want to be able to play blood without DOSBOX but at the same time I like how the Zdoom emulator can help recreate these levels but also be able to put a new almost "Re-boot" style on the original levels
another reason why I can't abandon this build is because my girlfriend loves the original Blood and was pleased with this doom port she was juts upset by how its close to the original but not close enough also the fact theres only 22 levels and the final boss battle ended on level 18 and when you did finish Zblood and Zblood+ all you got was a late congrats screen after finishing the level shipwreck which was the 9th level in the original blood.
