BloodGDX


A project to port Blood using the libGDX framework for Java by Alexander "[M210]" Makarov, the main developer of BloodCM; announced January 9, 2017 and with its first public beta release v0.75 on May 19, 2017. As well as straight up reverse engineering, the implementation is referenced from the leaked full Blood Alpha source code. It is also based on a prototype called gdxTekwar for William Shatner's TekWar released on January 7, 2016; Makarov has expressed interest in trying a similar effort for Redneck Rampage. Somewhat controversially, Makarov has indicated that he has no immediate plans to release the source code to BloodGDX.

BloodGDX allows you to finally play orignal Blood on modern computers with full widescreen support and many other great features which make it way more enjoyable experience.
Getting BloodGDX
Firstly, you'll need latest Java, since the port is written entirely in Java. You can get it here[www.java.com].

You can get the newest build of BloodGDX from M210's page located here[m210.duke4.net].

Go to your Blood instalation folder and extract contents of zip file in there. If you want to run BloodGDX through Steam and have fully working Steam Overlay in game, get this modified dosbox.exe from here[github.com] and replace the one from Blood's folder with this one. Then just run game from Steam and voila.

@The Soldier, download everything in the links given, run the setup for the Java download, replace the existing DosBox with the new downloaded one, and the game should work.
