Blood: Fresh Supply is now available DRM-free. If you own the original Blood: One Unit Whole Blood, you can get the remaster 5 USD cheaper (the final discount is 5 USD equivalent, and may vary depending on your region and price in local currency). Offer is valid until June 9th, 3pm UTC.

Battle an army of sycophantic cultists, zombies, gargoyles, hellhounds, and an insatiable host of horrors in your quest to defeat the evil Tchernobog. Squirm through 42 loathsome levels filled with more atmosphere than a Lovecraftian mausoleum. Begin your journey armed with a simple pitchfork and earn more effective implements of destruction like aerosol cans, flare guns, voodoo dolls and more!

Original Blood: One Unit Whole Blood from now on will be available as a free bonus with Blood: Fresh Supply.

Mafwek: 1) Theoretically yes. Didn't try. Default controls are adjusted for modern WASD + mouse aim.

2) Hud is pretty readable at 1920 x 1080 on relatively small laptop screen.

idbeholdME: Thanks.

A better question for 1) would probably be:
Is there an auto-aim option somewhere in the game options?

If yes, then there should be no problem playing with keyboard only.
Yes, there is an option to enable or disable auto-aim.

HenitoKisou: NBlood is backward engineered based on bits of source code, ported to Eduke32.
Fresh Supply is backward engineered based on bits of source code, ported to Kex (which lnclude variety of engines within one environment, depending on the game among these can be Build, Doom etc).
So, nope, not really, because by that way of your thinking none of these are source ports, because none of these were direct purest of the purest raw source code to executable and Eduke32 is from Duke3d version of Build now aiming to be launcher for Build games too in near future (and code for Blood is different than Duke of Shadow Warrior, as stated by Nblood author.

Serren: You don't know what you are talking about. A source port is a port made from the original sources. Kex is based on Doom64 EX, which is based on Doom3D, which is based on Linux Doom, which is based on the original Doom source. Blood was based on the Build engine and has no relation to the Doom source.

If it were a source port, they wouldn't have needed to reverse engineer anything.
You do have outdated info, it's no longer Doom derrivate. There was Powerslave, Turok, Forsaken on the road, variety of stuff. Think outside the box when researching stuff like this.

mwnn: The store page should really state that the game requires a 64 bit operating system.

Windows 7 64 bit is listed as the minimum requirement over at STEAM:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1010750/Blood_Fresh_Supply/

The installer makes it plain too:
setup_blood_fresh_supply_1.8.4-final_(64bit)_(29375).exe

In though we're in 2019 they'll still be a few out there using 32 bit Windows with x86_64/amd64 CPU's...

Out of interest, the game seems to run reasonably well on Debian Testing via Wine 4.7 but native would be even nicer.
Hi, we've updated the gamecard!

Daniel_Daniel93: How does the multiplayer even work in this version?

Is it Lobby based or LAN only? Because if it's the latter then it sucks.
the game supports online multiplayer ;)

Mafwek: Enough about China and politics, this game is horror comedy after all, and not Lovecraftian horror.

I find it funny that mods here seemingly have more time to censor out "naughty words/ideas" than solve issues on the forums that acutally matter(bugs/glitches on some browser forks/etc). :\

BTW and ontopic: Isn't T'chernoborg(spelling) technically an elder god like being?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobog

"Chernobog (from Proto-Slavic *čĭrnŭ 'black' and *bogŭ "god") – also spelled as Chernevog, Czernobog, Chornoboh, Crnobog, Tchernobog and Zcerneboch among many other variants – is a Slavic deity whose name means "black god", about whom much has been speculated but little is attested and known definitively."

MarkoH01: Don't know all those fan mods to be honest but some people knowing those already posted that this remaster seems to be even better than those. Still no use to downvote the post (I don't donvote myself at all if not for insulting postings) ... maybe people simply wanted to show their disagreement that the user called this remake a "cash grab". I mean there's actual work in this remaster and it shows - it's also not really expensive ... I would have problems calling it a cash grab - the Filter-Simon remaster... maybe. As I said - I hate downvoting and always prefer to post my opinion which of course might be a different one.

ShaunRoberts: Yeah, atleast Nightdive aren't charging $3.00 for a portrait pack or for CD music *cough* BeamDog *cough*, And I appreciate the work since the source code probably had to be dug out of the deepest depths of the atari vaults and if it had to be reverse engineered then holy peck, I can only imagine the mountain of work that went into that

Edit: my intention was not to immediately blame BeamDog for all the evil in the world, but old habits I guess
They(ND) DID do some good work to get this workable for those with little tweaking/tech know-how or time to fix the issues themselves. For that alone they earn a +1 in my book.

I cam close at least...also thanks for the informations. :)

From reading it/knowing most of the lore it would seem he /it fits the description(albeit it is more a FORCE since caleb absorbed it and it usually needs a host in the blood earth dimension/etc iirc).

... and you my friend have gone as far from the box as the distance the electron is from the centre.

It's easier to correct others rather than facing ones own problems ;P

Being able to use assets from games which used other engines in no way makes it a source port.

This is true. I(like others) often find it easier to give "good"(subjectively) advice rather than follow all of it.

As for the issues I mentioned: I'm surprised the spam a bit above this post is still here(did anyone report it yet, I wonder?).

What spam? (Maybe they did delete it in the meantime?)

Nvm/..wrong thread(this is what I happens when I reply to too much at once :\). Someone said free patio furniture or some such as their reply, and they were just registered this month.

HenitoKisou: This IS a source port with whole game updated and recreated both source and bits of it that were missing ported to different engine.
Stop telling lies, if it were a source port it'd be made in a modified eduke32, not KEX.

Late capitalism and culture wars, what can I say.

If you mean lovecraftian deity, yes he is. Although note that elder gods in Lovecraft are kinda good guys. His iconic monsters are Great Old Ones and Outer Gods.

1. I often find it fascinating looking into what is socially acceptable/taboo and why in different areas of the world and the history behind such.

2. Back ontopic: Sorry, I forgot there are different entity categories in Lovecraf's mythos.

I would not call Tchernobog in Blood a god. More of an "essence" or representation of balance rather than a being by itself. It is moulded and transformed based on the morals and principles of the person which currently possesses this essence. The main duty of "The One That Binds" (the title of the one holding the essence) is to maintain the realities in proper order. It was only the 16th incarnation of Tchernobog that had him transformed into a cruel being with lust for power and dominion over everything because of the person it transferred to. Nevertheless, he still sought to his duties of keeping everything in order unlike Caleb (who became the 17th incarnation after killing him at the end of Blood 1). You can see the effects of this in Blood 2 where a lot of very weird stuff happens as dimensions collide because Caleb is ignoring his newfound duties at first.

It should also be noted that in order to bring on the next incarnation of Tchernobog, the previous one has to be killed as he doesn't die of natural means.
