Ghostpilot Posted February 6, 2002 I mailed people at both Monolith and Infogrames, and asked them about the sourcecode for blood. This is what they answered: From a person at Monolith: "Your best bet would be to contact Infogrames/GT Interactive. They own the Blood franchise and they would have the authority to release source code, Monolith was the developer of the games, but we do not own it. I hope this helps!" From a person at infogrames: "I do not believe that they will release this code......it is an old game and it is off of most peoples radar." I think the persons at infogrames really don´t know how many that would be happy if the source to blood was released. They´re not going to sell anymore copies in the softwareshops anyway, so why not release the source? If you want this too, feel free to send them a small mail and tell them that you would like them to release the source. I hope I don´t break any laws by posting the text thet mailed me (without their names in it). 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted February 6, 2002 Get into Petitions Online and start a "Blood Source Code" thread. Send news to several gaming sites like VE and the Shack, that should gather a pretty impressive amount of people. 0 Share this post Link to post
Arioch Posted February 6, 2002 Can someone actually give me a list or some numbers on the Petitions Online signature lists that have actually been SUCCESSFUL? 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted February 6, 2002 Can someone actually give me a list or some numbers on the Petitions Online signature lists that have actually been SUCCESSFUL? They actually work in some way or another. When that unfounded rumour of Deus Ex 2 coming first to consoles appeared, people started signing a DX2 to PC petition. Shortly after that thing went online Warren Spector declared it was all BS. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lord FlatHead Posted February 6, 2002 Hmmm... Duke3D source port. Maybe by the time the Duke3D code is released, I'll have the C++ skills to write DukeGL myself. 0 Share this post Link to post

Zaldron Posted February 6, 2002 No, the "fact" that DX2 was coming first for consoles. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted February 6, 2002 If it was a "fact", then did the petition really change anything, or did it just force the company to make a public announcement? 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted February 6, 2002 I doubt that they will ever release the source code to Blood, Duke Nukem 3d and Shadow Warrior. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted February 6, 2002 If it was a "fact", then did the petition really change anything, or did it just force the company to make a public announcement? Spector was surprised by the reaction (the petition) and made an announcement declaring they would never dare about ignoring their strongest supporters etc etc... 0 Share this post Link to post
Ghostpilot Posted February 6, 2002 I think you´re right about that... :( But they will not know that we (I) want them to release the source if I don´t tell them. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted February 6, 2002 I think you´re right about that... :( But they will not know that we (I) want them to release the source if I don´t tell them. Get a petition signed by more than 5000 people, and your set ^_^ 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted February 6, 2002 I'm pretty sure someone from PlanetBlood already tried this, but it's worth a shot. Afterall that reply you got was from some lazy PR guy. What's so hard about releasing the code anyway? 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted February 6, 2002 Paper letters do wonders, to the President or something. Get it published in a few PC magazines as well, and boom you're in the sourcecode! 0 Share this post Link to post
