I remember the catching flies with chopsticks in Shadow Warrior.

It would be cool if the two of them could work together and get a real nice Blood remake happening. From early screens it looks like Lucius had made great strides with his work, I’ve been watching progress of XLEngine for a very long time. (mostly because of Daggerfall but Blood will be cool too)

Hey, Daggerfall. “Halt! Halt! Halt!” Great stuff. I dare say he ought to have a chat with Jace Hall; show him what he’s been up to, maybe get on board in some way. Either that or bellow “Nooooo!” to the heavens.

*slice* “You’re half the man you used to be!”

Oh and the level editor was pretty nice, despite the limitations of the build engine. (multi story buildings were impossible without the use of teleporters). I remember having great fun building customized vehicles in the editor and driving them around. So easy.

How do you reckon this will go down with Lucius over at XL Engine. He’s been working (solo) on rebuilds of Blood and Outlaw for quite some time (along with my all time favourite, Daggerall, and also Dark Forces).

Maybe he’ll be stoked, who knows?

There was Strife. First person rpg with multiple endings and paths, yet it gets almost no mention anywhere, unfair in my opinion.

The engine was so easy to pick and start mapping for as well

I remember playing with build editor and mapping for Duke 3d

There was some fantastic mods as well (penthouse paradise)

One of the last commercial Doom engine releases if I’m not mistaken. I particularly liked how they did the RPG elements in that one, never got a chance to try coop sadly. I think I’d be able to find it in one of my CD boxes stashed somewhere. (little tricky atm as I just moved)

angeredsoul:
Shadow warrior and Strife remake please. Will spend my monies!

My mates were fully into Strife… I never had the game so didn’t get the chance for it to grow on me (much like Diablo 1). I heard that Strife co-op was wicked fun!

Blargh, Witchaven! Oh man. “Crapstone,” indeed. The first game, at least, was purty terrible. Remake it just to kill it with fire?

If you’re talking “Children of Build” then you could almost point at Witchhaven 1&2 as well. I never really liked them much but I’m sure there are folk with fond memories of them. In fact there were a bunch of games built with Build – it was like the Unreal engine of the 90s in some way.

Blood and Redneck Rampage can be brutally hard.

The games really did a lot of interesting stuff with 3D Realms be hide most of them, they had the freedom to do what they wanted.

Other interesting games from the era (Happy to see Outlaws there), Rise of the Triad was actually based on Wolfenstein 3D but it really looked like it could compare to Doom and Build engines. It had heaps of
first features too panoramic skies, simulated dynamic lighting, fog, bullet holes, breakable glass and level-over-level!
