Blood Amiga Port released
Fire up your 68060 accelerators, get your pitchforks, because the first (but not the last) release of Monolith's 1997 FPS Blood is now available on Aminet: http://aminet.net/package/game/shoot/nblood Previous discussion / development thread: http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=107450 I won't link any of the old videos as the performance has improved a lot since, and hopefully this trend will continue. |

One of the hardest but funniest games I remember from the early PC days. I can still recall all the one liners and crazy humour.
I really like these old style FPS. |

is there much change to the 060 version? it looks like the 040 versions had the most change? certainly going by the date of the executables.
thanks |

I'm not sure what you mean, the 040 and 060 executables both have the same date (2021.09.12 19:31), as I usually build them back to back. To see what's changed since the initial test version, you can check the dev thread linked in the first post.

I don't know this game but my 060 can be fired up that's for sure!
I really loved your Shadow Warrior work and Exhumed so I know this will be another excellent conversion. That reminds me, I still need to add some music to Exhumed, never got round to installing extra audio tracks. |

Blood, Shadow warrrior and exhumed all uses Ken Silverman's Build engine, wich is open sourced. So Mr. Pollock, what engines Terminator future shock and Darkfroces uses and are they open sourced?

Dark Forces uses the 'Jedi' engine, from what I can find. |

Terminator Future shock uses a proprietary closed source engine, with no complete open source engine engine on sight. Dark Forces had the XLengine, but that project got sidetracked and fizzled out due to feature creep. LusciousXL is now working on a new reverse engineered Jedi engine called The Force Engine which focuses on accuracy. It uses some modern tech, but it could become a solid base for an Amiga port when finished. TD;DR Terminator Future Shock and Dark forces are impossible for now unless you have their source code. |

I tested it on WinUAE and it's perfect, even on AROS 68k it works great and I find it faster, the only problem is that the fire key remains pressed.
The problem of keyboard compatibility with AROS 68k happens with many of your portings, in some cases I solved it using the lowlevel.library of OS3, but with Blood it didn't solve. Test Video WinUAE: AfA One [ Show youtube player ] |

https://github.com/BSzili/jfbuild/bl...src/amilayer.c Also don't forget to copy all the files for Cryptic Passage listed in the readme, otherwise you will get missing and broken textures as you can see at the beginning of the video I can't blame them as the two games look similar on the surface. The Jedi engine has more in common with Build, e.g. they both use portal rendering, so you can do cool effects with moving sectors and walls. |

Where did you guys get the game files needed? In Aminet readme there is a link to jonof.id.au, but does it contain all the required files? Or do I need to buy it from GOG?
