It has arrived at last!
Caleb will need to muster all his strength to take down the mighty Tchernobog,
who has managed to free himself from the grip of death.
Death Wish is a massive new Blood campaign that has been under development since January 2010 and has finally been released. Every level is highly polished, and you may even see a few Mapedit tricks you never thought possible! The creator is a long-time Build veteran who has pulled out all the stops to make this the most amazing, original user content for Blood ever released.
Features
- Over 30 levels spread out across 3 episodes, which includes secret levels and transition levels for flowing smoothly back into the main campaign.
- 6 new cut scenes, appearing at the beginning and end of each episode explaining the story and its developments throughout the course of the game.
- New story, taking place after the events of the original Blood and its add-ons while staying within the same mythology.
- The Tome message system, giving the player hints and story tidbits during play to further deepen the story and reveal hints or secrets.
- All the levels have been adapted to be playable in Co-Op mode, so you and up to 7 other friends can tackle Death Wish together.
- All levels include modified enemy and item placement depending on difficulty settings for added replay value. Even long-time Blood pros will find a challenge in Death Wish's brutal Extra Crispy setting.
- A very detailed plain-text Walkthrough is included. It is split into 2 sections: One with the basic player path discussed and the other revealing all available secrets.
- A Commentary text file is included, revealing the creator and lead QA tester's thoughts on Death Wish and its content.
- A detailed README file is included, ensuring that everyone can get things working properly even on varying file system configurations.
- Simple drag-and-drop installation — no confusing or malfunctioning installers.
A Long Time Coming
It has been ages since our hero Caleb set out against the evil Cabal, and this may be his biggest challenge yet. Three complete episodes, complete with the elusive secret levels, await.
The journey begins in the mountains and quickly takes you to the unforgiving, icy north. From there you will traverse a plethora of varied environments from dry deserts to dank caves in pursuit of your longtime foe Tchernobog. Years have passed and the world has changed, but Tchernobog's burning desire for power has remained the same. With Tchernobog's new powers to aid him, will Caleb be able to defeat him once again before it's too late?
What are you waiting for? Get it here!
Our dimension hangs in the balance!

Version 1.4 is currently under way!
When I find the time I'll be gradually updating the difficulty level, multiplayer compatibility, and adding a few things where sector and wall limits will allow.
Stay tuned for updates!
The installation instructions supplied didn't work for me, so after checking the ini/conf files I changed/corrected some things that got the game to work for me. I'm using a fresh GOG install on win7 64.
0. Run and configure the Blood setup, set your keys. Your settings will also be used by the mod.
1. Unzip Death_Wish_1.3.zip, copy all FILES to your gamedir (all files should be in the dir where blood.exe is located).
2. In dosboxBloodDW.conf:
- change machine=svga_s3 to machine=vesa_nolfb
- check if IRQ is the same as in the blood setup (default GOG: IRQ=7)
- replace [autoexec] section with:
mount C "d:\Games\One Unit Whole Blood\"
imgmount D "d:\Games\One Unit Whole Blood\game.ins" -t iso
c:
cls
BLOOD.EXE -ini dw.ini
exit
Change "d:\Games\One Unit Whole Blood\" to your installation path.
3. In dw.ini:
Under [Episode1], [Episode2] and [Episode3], remove the C:\ from the cutscene references:
CutSceneA=C:\dw1a.smk becomes CutSceneA=dw1a.smk
CutWavA=C:\dw1a.wav becomes CutWavA=dw1a.wav etc.
There should be 12 lines to change, 4 per episode.
4. Create a shortcut/bat-file with the following parameters:
"D:\Games\One Unit Whole Blood\DOSBOX\DOSBox.exe" -conf "..\dosboxBloodDW.conf"
Change "d:\Games\One Unit Whole Blood\" to your installation path.
5. Play game by launching shortcut.
This did it for me, it should work for everybody who can run GoG blood.
Nice! I'll add that to the README of the next update.
Can't get the mod to start. Dosbox starts then quits. Any solutions? If not, I'll wait for 1.4 then.
A lot of people seem to have been getting this error and I'm not exactly sure why. I'll ask my friend who has the GOG copy to look into it.

Update coming in the near future. Stay tuned!

Version 1.4 will be adjusting the oppressive difficulty as well as adding some features for co-op. Random texture fixes and little added details will be included, of course.
There may even be a few surprises...
can't wait

Hey Bloatoid,
I usually don't post here, but I made an account just to write to you. I've played many mods for blood, such as Bloody Pulp Fiction, The Lost Episodes, Chronicles vol 1, and Sect wars, but your mod defeats these mods with no effort at all. Truly amazing level design, amazing level concepts, and above all your mod captures the feel and atmosphere of Blood perfectly (which others fail to do). I am addicted for quite some time now, and I always wanted a worthy successor to original blood, and this is it. In fact, I think Death Wish outdoes the original blood in many respects. The creativity you've put into your work, I was left speechless with many things in this mod. I hope you will make more blood mods in the future. Thanks a lot bloatoid for blessing us with your amazing work. Take care.
AJ
Thanks a lot! Hope you enjoyed playing the add-on as much as I did making it!
