Bloodstone: The Journey Home is a third person role-playing total conversion of Valve’s Half Life 2 - Episode One, using the Source engine. In this modification, Khrinz, a common farm boy is plunged into an unknown world of magic and deceit, on the brink of an unstoppable invasion by a technologically advanced race.

The player must lead our hero through the mysterious land of Darynia in search of the fabled bloodstone, a powerful gem that has the ability to create portals to other planes of existence, whilst also discovering their innate magical powers, so that they may defend themselves from the sinister and evil creatures of the world.

This power can either be used to fuel mystical and powerful spells of the arcane, or infuse deadly weapons with the force of the elements. As the player grows in experience, more potent spells and abilities are unlocked, to use against the ever increasing number of enemies.

Darynia is a fully realized fantasy world where the player will become immersed in an enriching storyline, driving the player’s actions, and pushing their emotions to the limit.

It’s not the blood that courses through your veins that defines what type of person you are; it’s the decisions you make, on the journey of life.
- Nienna, Princess of the Graymir Elves.

Hello everybody,

the time has come, "Bloodstone - The Journey Home" is now available for download:

Bloodstone - The Journey Home

I'm not going to talk much about whats going on in the game. Just go ahead, play it and tell us what you think about it.

Anyone who wants to see us in action, can visit us this Saturday, 7th of June, at the Cube Gallery in Manchester.

Eventhough this mod is meant for Episode 1, you can play it without owning Episode 1. Please check our Tutorial on how to do that.

We are proud of what we've produced and we hope you like it too,

your Greenhorn Productions Team

Might we be seeing a Non-Episode 1 version someday? These poor lads have waited so long just to be let down. :(

Hello Dr.Thrax,

unfortunately it seems like there has been a big misunderstanding. Bloodstone was always meant to be an Episode One mod. And we've always addressed it as an Episode One mod. I'm not entirely sure, how that got lost in the introduction paragraph. Unfortunately you cannot choose Episode One as a mod type, or we would have done it back then.

To all those without Episode One who have been expecting Bloodstone, we must appologise for the misunderstanding. (It's only $9.99 and a really good game to play as well, if you're tempted to get it.) And I must iterate again, that this was a University Project. The Mod has been created with 5 people in less then a year. Now where we all finished Uni and are starting jobs, there won't be a lot of patches or even addons in the future.

Apart from this obvious problem, I hope everybody else is enjoying the game so far. What's your progress everybody?

"...is that sufficient to play?" Why don't you try, maybe you might be a lucky person! :)

"...2GB big man thats alotta space" Maybe we should get a new hard drive soon? :P

Do you have Half-Life Episode 1 (and perhaps this need also Source SDK Base)? If you don't have Episode 1, I'm not sure if it would show up.

I think you can just download Source SDK base to play it...

Has anyone who doesn't have Ep. 1 tried yet? Because I can't imagine that being the case, as mods run off the "Source SDK Base," which should have automatically updated to Episode 1 for everyone, even those who don't own it.

If you don't own Episode One the game doesn't show up in the steam list after you've restarted steam.

Hopefully people without Episode One can play this too..

I tried to play it. Had to launch it with Crosus, and it worked initially, but without any people or things to do... That really disappoints me.
