Bloodmage was originally released on July 1st, 1999 by BM Software, as a total conversion for Quake. It featured RPG elements such as spells, merchants, an experience system, and quests. Since its release, I've played it on and off, always enjoying what the team was able to accomplish with the Quake engine. After reaching out to the original programmer of the mod, Michael 'MaNiAc' Turitzin, I was given permission to continue working on the mod.
