Per chi non lo sapesse Jace Hall (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jace_Hall) è stato ex-CEO e fondatore di Monolith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolith_Productions).
Fatto questo doverso preambolo ieri su PostMortem Jace Hall ha iniziato una discussione dove chiedeva se la comunità avrebbe interesse in un reboot/remake di BLOOD ed a contribuire ad un eventuale sviluppo attraverso le proprie idee.
Jace sottolinea che la comunità non dovrà preoccuparsi di diritti, clausole ed altri garbugli legali dato che sarà lui ad occuparsene col contributo delle parti coinvolte.
Questo, tuttavia, avrà un costo che egli stesso, dichiara, di volere sostenere impenandosi a donare il prodotto alla comunità (completamente gratis) una volta completato lo sviluppo.
Sono commosso, le lacrime stanno impiastricciando la tastiera che molto probabilmente cesserà di funzionare, ma finchè dura ignorerò anche le difficoltà nel distinguere forme e colori.
È una delle rarissime occasioni in cui un addetto ai lavori ci mette la faccia ed il portafogli per relizzare qualcosa per pure gioia e passione aborrendo l'autarchia ma al contrario chiedendo il parere ed il contributo della comunità.
Greetings to the Blood Community

Hello,
My name is Jason (Jace) Hall and some of you may know of me.
I have been contemplating the idea bringing Blood back and was wondering how people might feel about it or if they were interested in helping me to do it.
To be clear, I am thinking of bringing the ORIGINAL Blood game back as it was, with functionality alterations/enhancements that are similar but superior to ZDAEMON's. I would also make it work on all platforms, and not just PC. There are other things as well...
I have a very specific vision in mind for what I'd like to do, but before I go off and do it - I wanted to speak directly with the Blood community and see what the thoughts are.
My goal of course is for this all to be free, and all about gameplay and fun. You can rest assured that I have the resources to bring BLOOD back properly but like I said, I'm hoping to have the community participate in all this if it wants to so we can all do it together. This site is great and it would be great to see the Blood community grow!
What do you all think?
Jace

Have some things to do tonight so my message will have to be brief for the moment.
First, thanks for the kind welcome. I had no expectations when coming to this webstie, but its great to see that people here are really cool.
Ok - Please know that you can rest assured that I know everything that needs to be known in regard to the blood rights/legal issues.
If I indeed decide to move forward with my ideas for Blood, I certainly will be able to and will get all the support I need from all/any parties that may have legal interest in the game. You guys don't have to worry about that. There is no problem there. Handled.
One thing to also know is that if I go ahead and attempt to bring Blood back, I will be the one actually paying the bill. It is certainly going to cost money to do this, and I will not likely be getting my money back. It will be all for the fun of it. Just something to know.
I think it would good for the community to beging to create a "dream list" of all the things that they would hope for with Blood. In regard to the source code, I have reservations about releasing it due to it making it that much easier for people to cheat/hack whatever new system I put in place - and part of what I'm hoping to achieve with this potential project is a game that really allows people to build measurable value in their cummulative game accomplishments.
Anyway, I have to go now but hello everyone!
