v2.0.1 Update available now! www.moddb.com/mods/death-w... Bug/Error fixes, updated walkthrough, and options to use music from either Sjellos or Speedy exclusively. Upgraded versions of Sjellos CD tracks. v1.7.9's ini renamed to dw179.ini so the ports don't get confused. #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Got busy with Father’s Day stuff; Will update tomorrow instead 😛

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

Update should be out sometime tomorrow. I was thinking of renaming the .ini file in DW1.7.9 so that ports looking those inside .zip files can tell the difference between that and v2. 🤔 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #leveldesign

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

Death Wish update coming next week to ModDB. Bug fixes, additional custom OST options, revised walkthrough, and more. Will also include the RS 3.1.1 updates like Tchernobog exploding 💥 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

It should work with both.

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Might change 1.7’s ini name entirely then.

000

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Maybe a different compression format like .rar for 1.7? I think Raze reads from .zip as well.

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

It plays without borders or audio looping in DOS, so it’s a port problem as far as I know (the movies are 4:3). I might look into it for the next update.

000

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

It was going to be more work to bring that map up to my standard than making a new one, and I had some ideas floating around I wanted to try. v1.7.9 is packaged with v2 if anyone wants to play the cut content.

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

I’ll still be bug-fixing for a little while, but it feels good to get it out the door 😤

If you have Refreshed Supply, yes.

Probably DW bug fixes for a time, then a break from it entirely.

I’ll fix some bugs when they pop up, but I have no further additions planned beyond that.

Death Wish drops tomorrow. For everyone. Free update for Refreshed Supply owners. I'll post a ModDB link for everyone else: DOS, NBlood, Raze, BuildGDX, Fresh Supply, etc. 48 maps. Ep1–3 maps upgraded or new. All-new Ep4. Original soundtrack by Speedy & Sjellos, new cutscenes, and more. #gamedev

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Got it all sorted. ☑️ Both game and cutscenes working in DOS, NBlood, BuildGDX, Raze, Fresh Supply, and Refreshed Supply.

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Raze issue solved, mostly. My mistake was saying I tried drag/drop when it was only with the ini, when you actually have to drop the entire, unexpanded zip file onto raze.exe. The movies don't play (even though they do in DOS, NBlood, etc), but it's fine otherwise 👍

1182

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Can't get DW running in Raze v1.11 or earlier. Drag/drop activates ini (I can see the episode names in the menu), but starting an episode results in "error loading map file". Maps can all open through User Maps. DW works in DOS, NBlood, FS & RS. All files in same folder. Any ideas?

Today I got the new cutscenes in Death Wish v2.0 for Blood to run in DOS as 640x480 (after converting with Smacker on Windows XP). Blood:RS cutscenes are 1920x1080. Release date (still) coming soon. Need to test the CD/MIDI settings on other ports. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

I’m making some extra art for the stat screen, then a final polish pass.

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Wrapped up the new cutscenes in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. 5 total: One before each episode and an extra one at the end. The final colors are pulled from the Blood palette. Motion graphics instead of [a screen recording + game footage]. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

I've been too busy working on RS to make preview videos recently, but E4M12 is done and I'm a good way into E4M7 in Death Wish for #Blood.

The soundtrack will be a blend of Speedy’s soundtrack (available on ModDB) and new tracks by Sjellos (music composer for HROT).

120

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

Death Wish v2.0 will be included in a future update of Blood RS, but will still be available for free on ModDB as well. Marrow (revamped Ep1 and new Ep2) will be available to play right at launch, though.

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 28/09/2025

Yes. It is not exclusive to the ND port.

No, early next year is the plan. I should be done the maps in December.

On to E4M11 in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood — the final secret level! This is the "palette room" I assembled at the start. The level theme might be more at home in a Duke3D addon 😅 Any guesses? #games #gaming #gamedev #game #leveldesign #gamedesign #gamedevelopment #screenshotsaturaday #retrogames

Bloatoid @bloatoid.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

I was trying to avoid using keys since this is inspired by an Unreal (1998) map that doesn't have any, and I thought it would be a fun challenge since I don't need more than one hard block in the map (for the exit).

Thanks — that’s the mood for which I’m aiming, and it’ll look a lot nicer once I fill out a bit more. Getting the building blocks together for this one took a while, but I should be able to pick up the pace now.

These new E2M12 changes don't look like much from 2D mode, but I think it makes a big difference. Originally, I was going to (*mostly*) leave this map alone, but I'm glad I took another look at it. #games #gaming #gamedev #retrogames #game #leveldesign #retrogaming #gamedesign
