Bug/Error fixes, updated walkthrough, and options to use music from either Sjellos or Speedy exclusively. Upgraded versions of Sjellos CD tracks. v1.7.9's ini renamed to dw179.ini so the ports don't get confused.

Got busy with Father’s Day stuff; Will update tomorrow instead 😛

Update should be out sometime tomorrow.

I was thinking of renaming the .ini file in DW1.7.9 so that ports looking those inside .zip files can tell the difference between that and v2. 🤔

Making Tchernobog go out with a bang in Death Wish for Blood v2, similar to the v1.7 finale. 💥

Death Wish drops tomorrow. For everyone.

Free update for Refreshed Supply owners. I'll post a ModDB link for everyone else: DOS, NBlood, Raze, BuildGDX, Fresh Supply, etc.

48 maps. Ep1–3 maps upgraded or new. All-new Ep4. Original soundtrack by Speedy & Sjellos, new cutscenes, and more.

Got it all sorted. ☑️

Both game and cutscenes working in DOS, NBlood, BuildGDX, Raze, Fresh Supply, and Refreshed Supply.

Raze issue solved, mostly.

My mistake was saying I tried drag/drop when it was only with the ini, when you actually have to drop the entire, unexpanded zip file onto raze.exe. The movies don't play (even though they do in DOS, NBlood, etc), but it's fine otherwise 👍
March 16, 2026 at 12:57 AM
Can't get DW running in Raze v1.11 or earlier. Drag/drop activates ini (I can see the episode names in the menu), but starting an episode results in "error loading map file". Maps can all open through User Maps. DW works in DOS, NBlood, FS & RS. All files in same folder.

Any ideas?

Today I got the new cutscenes in Death Wish v2.0 for Blood to run in DOS as 640x480 (after converting with Smacker on Windows XP). Blood:RS cutscenes are 1920x1080.

Release date (still) coming soon. Need to test the CD/MIDI settings on other ports.

Wrapped up the new cutscenes in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. 5 total: One before each episode and an extra one at the end. The final colors are pulled from the Blood palette. Motion graphics instead of [a screen recording + game footage].

E4M12 completed in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. 🎄 This preview was delayed, so I'll already be finishing up E4M7 tomorrow 😛 The end is in sight!

I've been too busy working on RS to make preview videos recently, but E4M12 is done and I'm a good way into E4M7 in Death Wish for #Blood. New music arrangement all set up, too!

A previous map gets a wintry overhaul in the final transition level of Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. 🎄Most buildings will be closed off to keep things brief.

E4M11 "Meltdown" completed in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood. ☢️ This secret level would probably be welcome in Duke3D!

Only 3 maps remain. 🗒️

On to E4M11 in Death Wish v2.0 for #Blood — the final secret level! This is the "palette room" I assembled at the start. The level theme might be more at home in a Duke3D addon 😅 Any guesses?
