What's new with blood..

The Blood Weekly Update for 4/08/97.
Everyone at Monolith is really excited on the upcoming release of Blood Registered!

The Blood team has put a HUGE effort into making Blood the best & most fun 3D Action game available on the market, and everyone here at Monolith thinks that they have completely succeeded!

With Blood Registered nearing completion, here is the Blood Team's news for the last week…

The registered levels are nearly all completed, Craig is going through each registered level and adding the very important finishing touches - final graphics, sound effects, and weapon locations. Last week, Jay, the lead level designer on Blood, finished his part of the project and GOT MARRIED! Congratulations go out to Jay & his wife Lauren, may they have a wonderful marriage and a fabulous 2 weeks in Scotland together!

Nick is finalizing the code for the registered weapons, they are looking great and will be massively fun to kill & maim other players with…

Dan has been working hard as usual on finishing the AI for Tchernobog - the final character in the registered version of Blood. Heard from his office late at night are evil laughs and incoherent mumbling… We hope that after weeks and weeks of constant programming on Blood he has not gotten too wrapped up in his job.

Kevin is finally DONE with all the art for the registered version of Blood. Being the main artist on such an incredible game has put a great weight on his shoulders, and finally he can relax - happy having done such an amazing job for his part of the project. The new registered weapon animations are some of the best ever in any action game.

The 11kHz and new 22kHz sounds for Blood are basically done, only a few small mixing tweaks here and there are necessary to make them perfect. The level designers are especially happy with the sound effects for the game; they have commented many times on how incredibly rich they make the atmosphere of the game. We want to say "Way to go" to Cass, James, and Dan for their excellent work on the sounds of the game.

Dan & Guy are also basically done with the CD Music for the registered version of Blood. The eerie and ominous songs set a perfect mood for the game - they will literally scare the hell out of you if you are playing this game late at night. Check out a couple of the tracks in the sound section of the Monolith Warehouse.

Check back next Tuesday for another update! - The Blood Team
