Hello,

I'm trying to raise funds for a remake of the classic co-op dungeon
crawler "Bloodwych", which was released in 1989/1990 for ATARI ST,
AMIGA, PC, Amstrad CPC, C64 and Spectrum.

I liked this game very much and since "Legend of Grimrock", a remake
of games like "Dungeon Master" has been rather successful last year, I
think it's time for a dungeon crawler with a co-op-mode.

We want pay programmers for doing an Android (cell phone, Ouya and
tablet), an iOS (iPad and iPhone) and a Windows PC version. There will
also be a boxed version (of the PC version) for donors, who donate
more than $10 and a special edition plus level editor for donors, who
donate $20 or more.

I thought this might be interesting for gamers, who played the
original Bloodwych and its data disk in the 80s/early 90s.

This is my first campaign on Indiegogo, so I may not do anything
right, but I promise to try as long as possible to get a Bloodwych
remake done.

If you are interested, you could support this project. We are trying
to get in contact with the copyright-holders, so that we can pay them
and call the game "Bloodwych". If this isn't possible, the game will
get another name and will be a look-alike, a clone, just as "Legend of
Grimrock" is a "Dungeon Master" or "Eye of the Beholder" - lookalike.

If you have any suggestions, please let me know. My email-address is
bobbygehtheim@yahoo.de, I'm a programmer myself and known as "Lord
Chaos" in the ATARI - scene.

I'm located in Nuernberg, Germany and I'm looking for programmers, who
could do Android, iOS and PC (Windows) versions of the "Bloodwych" -
remake.

Thimo

Mmmh, the taste and smell of heated up 'Lasagne Al Verde' comes up into
my mind when thinking to the times when I played Bloodwych. Murlock
Darkheart, Ulrich Sternaxe, Hengist Meldanash, the/my 4th hero I forgot
by name... a Ninja.

Food was always scarce in the dungeons. I had a trick: While fighting
an enemy you could start a conversation and the monster sells you a
bitten apple for a gold piece (2 bites left on the apple) from time to
time, depending to the sort of monster....
In some cases you could buy repeatedly bitten apples. I remember huge
spiders were good for that (But nasty melee opponents. That kind of
shopping was always a bit risky.), the rest of the conversation I dealt
with bow and arrows from the distance ;-)



Best Regards,


Daniel Mandic
