Today I have released Bloodmasters under GPL license! This means it is now open source for anyone to take an educational peek and for serious developers to derive their work from it or perhaps even continue on the official Bloodmasters. The source code project can be found at SourceForge.net. Please note that the complete repository is about 400 MB large, so be prepared for a lengthy download when you do a complete checkout. Enjoy!

No, we are not done yet! Bloodmasters 1.3 will be released within a month or so, but today I can already give you a little eye candy. Today we have done testing on the complete remake of Portal Pest and Portal Pest CTF which both feature some new effects. All the teleports (in all maps) now have particles so you can see where you can go. Just walk into the particles to get teleported. Also a new effect is steam venting from grates in the floor. Here are two screenshots for your viewing pleasure!

Yes, here it is, the long promised update! With this update I give you several bug fixes, 2 new Deathmatch maps and 3 new Capture The Flag maps. Download and enjoy!

NOTE: At 22:30 GMT I have uploaded version 1.2 again that fixes the clipped mouse problem. If you have problems with the mouse not reaching the edges of your screen during a fullscreen game, download and apply the version 1.2 patch again.

Also, it is a good idea to join us on IRC (#bloodmasters on irc.quakenet.org) I usually paste server info there to show where people playing so you can easily find your game.

Now that this game has servers around the globe, it is time to get some people in. You can help by posting about Bloodmasters on gaming websites you know of. Alternatively, you can join us in our IRC channel and give us links to gaming websites and we can contact them. Also, please DIGG US. Thanks!

First off, I'd like to thank those who are hosting true dedicated servers, you definitely help our community grow. We could use some more dedicated servers in the US if possible, there are only 2 right now and they are temporary. But also in europe you are welcome to help us out ofcourse ; )

If you like to show your server information on your website, we now have the perfect solution for you! On the downloads page you can find PHP server query classes that allow you to fetch information from a server dynamically! Also the server query protocol is documented for you to use in custom made software.
