Before F.E.A.R., Condemned, and Gotham City Imposters, Monolith Productions worked with Duke Nukem developer and publisher 3D Realms to produce Blood, a shooter known for bad one-liners and ridiculous weapons.
Monolith Productions founder and ex-CEO Jace Hall wants to re-live the glory of the old days by bringing back the over-the-top shooter. It's not a re-master or a remake like Interceptor Entertainment's new Rise of the Triad. Instead, Hall just wants to bring the game back to the current generation of consoles so that new gamers can have access to it… and he's not asking for a single dime. Rather, he's looking for community interest, seeking it through a post on The Postmortem, a Blood community site: "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!"
If you're interested in seeing Blood on up-to-date platforms, show Hall some support. He's not asking for money, just some interest in the work that he's doing to restore an old-school shooter.
