Today I got the new cutscenes in Death Wish v2.0 for Blood to run in DOS as 640x480 (after converting with Smacker on Windows XP). Blood:RS cutscenes are 1920x1080.

Release date (still) coming soon. Need to test the CD/MIDI settings on other ports.

I’m making some extra art for the stat screen, then a final polish pass.

Wrapped up the new cutscenes in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. 5 total: One before each episode and an extra one at the end. The final colors are pulled from the Blood palette. Motion graphics instead of [a screen recording + game footage].

Roughly, but it hasn't been officially announced yet.

It's "coming soon" is all I can say for now :-)

I've been too busy working on RS to make preview videos recently, but E4M12 is done and I'm a good way into E4M7 in Death Wish for #Blood. New music arrangement all set up, too!

The soundtrack will be a blend of Speedy’s soundtrack (available on ModDB) and new tracks by Sjellos (music composer for HROT).

Death Wish v2.0 will be included in a future update of Blood RS, but will still be available for free on ModDB as well. Marrow (revamped Ep1 and new Ep2) will be available to play right at launch, though.

Yes. It is not exclusive to the ND port.

A previous map gets a wintry overhaul in the final transition level of Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. πŸŽ„Most buildings will be closed off to keep things brief.

No, early next year is the plan. I should be done the maps in December.

E4M11 "Meltdown" completed in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. ☒️ This secret level would probably be welcome in Duke3D!

Only 3 maps remain. πŸ—’οΈ

On to E4M11 in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood β€” the final secret level! This is the "palette room" I assembled at the start. The level theme might be more at home in a Duke3D addon πŸ˜… Any guesses?

I was trying to avoid using keys since this is inspired by an Unreal (1998) map that doesn't have any, and I thought it would be a fun challenge since I don't need more than one hard block in the map (for the exit).

Thanks β€” that’s the mood for which I’m aiming, and it’ll look a lot nicer once I fill out a bit more. Getting the building blocks together for this one took a while, but I should be able to pick up the pace now.

A nice, tranquil evening in E4M6 of Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. πŸ§‘β€πŸŒΎ The peace won't last, of course. I'm excited to add some fireflies & foliage later.

2nd pass on E1M11 "Shudder Island" in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. Lowered outdoor ceiling & starting location, reworked some areas, and adjusted rain fx for more efficiency.

These new E2M12 changes don't look like much from 2D mode, but I think it makes a big difference. Originally, I was going to (*mostly*) leave this map alone, but I'm glad I took another look at it.

Other E2M12 edits: The end of the corridor is now visibly blocked, with the barrier switch in a room with remote access to the sentry guns. The key-requirement was moved to the switch (instead of the door), so the sentries can fire upon enemies before you see them. The pipe section is now optional.

Wrapping up another quick pass on E2M12 of Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood based on some v1.7.9 user feedback. More distinct corridors, better signposting, etc. βš™οΈ
