Hi!! Here Drugod, level designer and programmer of Bloom Team. Thanks a lot for the support, the videos is amazing, so well explanied and you really dig on it hehe And thanks also for support our next project Voidwalker, hope you'll see something new soon guys Insta subscribed amazing stuff here, keep the good job!
I am completely speechless at the existence of this project. The aesthetic and idea are perfect imo. I can't even imagine the amount of work this required. Never do you see such a perfectly executed answer to "wouldn't it be cool if." I want this to spawn an entire genre. "Bloompunk" just needs to be a whole art style. Deep future Blood becomes Doom like and dystopia. It's so plausible. I simply do not have enough praise. This needs imo an ARPG/bullet heaven treatment. Like Rogue Genesia reskinned in Bloompunk.
he still haven't tell about one of the best and biggest mods of all times - Ashes 2063 (Ep1&2). It's not even a mod, it's a total conversion that feels like a full lenght game (took me about 15-20 hours to finish) even having its own great soundtrack. The 9.7 score on the moddb just says it all
Bloom is also compatible with custom WADs! If you like the monsters & gameplay, but wanna play on different map-sets, you can! Just make sure you pick “play chosen iWAD” option after picking a character.
I just can't believe you haven't played blood. If you do, check out mods too :). Both some great maps (*cough* play post mortem)and gameplay mods (extracrispy, smooth blood, coagulated which is voxel blood by the voxel doom guy chello).
@Coração Acidental I guess that people who know very little about shooters know games like Doom and Duke but don't know other games exist. Its kinda like knowing Mario and Sonic and not knowing any other 80s/90s platformer icons. But yes you're right, the actual retro shooter community agrees that Blood is better than Duke.
The thing that really stands out for me is how original and inspired the bestiary is in BLOOM. It's literally full of combinations between the demons of DOOM and the monstrosities of BLOOD, and it's impressive how much effort went into making them evocative of both games while still seeming unique.
everything about BlooM is incredible. the rebuilt sprites the level design the soundtrack i've played more mods than weeks i've been alive, but BlooM is just special in every way. top 3 for me. deserves more notice IMO.
The music is so badass, and it seems so dynamic and complex for a doom wad, I've never seen anything like this for the game, I'm going to be downloading this one for sure
the background music in this video is a midi version of "Not ready to die" by Avenged Sevenfold, and it was a song that was specifically made for the cod bo1 zombies map Call of the Dead.
@@DrugodTV oh hmm that sucks. Would you consider doing it as a future add-on for Bloom and rerelease Bloom with that hybrid character as a "Bloom Definitive Edition"?
@@Jayalen we would like to make a new Bloom version adapted for Zandronum poorer version compared with gzdoom but you,ll be able to play on coop. About third char maybe in a Bloom II , but first we must release voidwalker ;)
@@DrugodTV Absolutely love Bloom it's an instant cult classic and I'm so happy I can use other wads to play can't wait for the second game and another character even if it takes another 6 years I will gladly wait.
You should definitely check out some Blood Mods here and there, also glad your first experience with Caleb is a great one. There's a reason why Blood is a cult classic and also why the Dynamite is seen as the pinnacle of videogame dynamite weapons lmao
1) Doomguy's weapons are actually slightly weaker than they were in the vanilla, with exception to chaingun which has ridiculous ROF 2) Caleb's weapons are genrally stronger (tommy gun is slightly less powerful than CG due to lower firerate, but more ammo efficient. 3) Caleb's TNT does 3-4 times the damage on direct impact.
Nice video, and thanks for keeping the mod community in the spotlight. These guys work tirelessly to bring new and exciting experiences to the community, and your support really helps.
Very good review ! I wasn't sure about Bloom before. I though it was quite useless if you already finished Blood multiple times. You definitely changed my mind.
This is an excellent sample and teaser for this amazing oiece of bloody and raw work that I have enjoyed playing a bit off to the effect of great smiles. Great video!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I hadn't heard of this before but now I'll have to check it out! Super impressive how good TC mods for Doom are these days
whoa the visuals are stunning. I wish somebody buys rights for the both franchises and make this project a commercial AAA. I definitely would buy it on steam.
i play this mod time ago and remember it as a hard experience ,but i totally love the sprites this abominations are the most original things i ever seen in doom mods..these promese to be fun good video man i love your chanel
Thanks man, It's a wonderful mod. One thing though, I don't know if you mentionned it, but after the amount of 90s FPS I played, this mod feels cursed. Sooooo much cursed hahaha. Especially if you played both games.
This is truly impressive. I think, I have played a previous version of Bloom, which was a recreation of original Blood levels in Doom. This was already impressive in its own right. I am really looking forward to playing this one.
When this Doom mod has been released, I quickly downloaded and started the campaign, which had the excellent fusion of Doom and Blood levels. I loved all the moments I was in. 😀 I will try out this mod's seperate randomizer mode with a classic Doom 2 Mega Wad.
2:12 That might be a reference to the movie Motel Hell, the sign in the movie says MOTEL HELLO but the O in HELLO is broken so it was off most of the time and I think would occasionally flicker. I only know about that movie because TNT played it on the horror movie show Joe Bob Briggs hosted almost 30 years ago, don't recall hearing about it since. Monster Vision iirc.
This mod was a blast to me, it's only drawback is the relatively short campaign: only 9 levels. However one can feel the amount of work put on the level design to genuinely bring all most iconic levels from Doom 1, 2 and Blood. I enjoyed so much this mod I remember when it came how "upset" I was because I couldn't tell which mod was my favourite that year. Blade of Agony came out in 2021 too and is also really amazing.
3:55 not sure if anyone pointed it out, but that's Jojo the circus boy! he is referenced throughout both Blood games. He was a carnival freakshow attraction that they would replace every few years with a different incarnation

@@antonivs_ love the level designs!
Dude you created a beast of a mod! This thing shreds!! Almost wish they'd make this concept with doom eternals resources
@@TheDeathclawhunter thanks dude!!

Damn good mod nice work👍
This guy is a legend. I've learned and tried so many cool mods from him. He definitely needs so much more recognition

Bloom got me interested in the Doom modding scene again. Huge props to Bloomteam!

That's not the bloodiest mod by far ;)
@@AndroidFerret play on words for clickbait title
edit: title changed anyway
@@Mutant_Mods So this game basically just brutal doom but more brutal
Got it! 👍
Are you saying that i can play Brutal Bloom ????
Blood is underrated I prefer it to Dukenukem
@Coração Acidental which is why it is underrated.
@coracaoacidental89 Didn't know that thanks
@Coração Acidental I guess that people who know very little about shooters know games like Doom and Duke but don't know other games exist. Its kinda like knowing Mario and Sonic and not knowing any other 80s/90s platformer icons.
But yes you're right, the actual retro shooter community agrees that Blood is better than Duke.
@Coração Acidental yeah, so its underrated. Cause there aren't enough people giving it the praise it deserves :L
Blood was the first build engine game I played
The thing that really stands out for me is how original and inspired the bestiary is in BLOOM. It's literally full of combinations between the demons of DOOM and the monstrosities of BLOOD, and it's impressive how much effort went into making them evocative of both games while still seeming unique.
everything about BlooM is incredible.
the rebuilt sprites
the level design
the soundtrack
i've played more mods than weeks i've been alive, but BlooM is just special in every way.
top 3 for me. deserves more notice IMO.
Glad you covered this mod my friend
I REALLY loved this Avenged I Not Ready to Die doom version
A song made for a game, made into a midi for another. 10/10
I have absolutely no words to describe this. I'm won't watch till the end for now, will come back when I finished the mod. Amazing, subbed.
The music is so badass, and it seems so dynamic and complex for a doom wad, I've never seen anything like this for the game, I'm going to be downloading this one for sure
The song near the end is Not ready to Die by Avenged Sevenfold
the background music in this video is a midi version of "Not ready to die" by Avenged Sevenfold, and it was a song that was specifically made for the cod bo1 zombies map Call of the Dead.
This is a masterpiece of a showcase and review 😢
Missed opportunity to have a third character: Bloomguy. A cross between Caleb and Doomguy. His arsenal can be an amalgamation of both theirs.
He’d wear Caleb’s outfit, but instead of a hat, he wears a helmet. Definitely jacked too.
We started to work on a hybrid character but we discard It due needs tons of time ... And Bloom tooks almost 6 years to got completed
@@DrugodTV oh hmm that sucks. Would you consider doing it as a future add-on for Bloom and rerelease Bloom with that hybrid character as a "Bloom Definitive Edition"?
@@Jayalen we would like to make a new Bloom version adapted for Zandronum poorer version compared with gzdoom but you,ll be able to play on coop.
About third char maybe in a Bloom II , but first we must release voidwalker ;)
@@DrugodTV Absolutely love Bloom it's an instant cult classic and I'm so happy I can use other wads to play can't wait for the second game and another character even if it takes another 6 years I will gladly wait.
It must've been a ton of work to put this mod together.
You should definitely check out some Blood Mods here and there, also glad your first experience with Caleb is a great one. There's a reason why Blood is a cult classic and also why the Dynamite is seen as the pinnacle of videogame dynamite weapons lmao
Deathwish would be a good intro to blood modding but he should probs play the og game before goin into deathwish
1) Doomguy's weapons are actually slightly weaker than they were in the vanilla, with exception to chaingun which has ridiculous ROF
2) Caleb's weapons are genrally stronger (tommy gun is slightly less powerful than CG due to lower firerate, but more ammo efficient.
3) Caleb's TNT does 3-4 times the damage on direct impact.
This video was recommended by Jace Hall. Congrats!
Well this is the guy who got attacked by Texas based technocryptid John and getting a lawsuit by Billy Mitchell
Mutant mods:ah a phone is ringing.
Creature:your free trail of living has expired.
This made me smile & chuckle
Nice video, and thanks for keeping the mod community in the spotlight. These guys work tirelessly to bring new and exciting experiences to the community, and your support really helps.
Great video, man! Thanks for the info
Very good review !
I wasn't sure about Bloom before. I though it was quite useless if you already finished Blood multiple times.
You definitely changed my mind.
that sounds amazing. I still have fun memories playing Blood and Blood 2 in my teens. And of course Doom 2
now if we only could get bloom and doom infinity to combine forces
HOLY CRAP THAT WOULD ROCK
3:53 terminator or armstrong, nanomachines son.
This looks really cool for a mod. Blood is a very tough game.
I like how there's a MIDI version of an Avenged 7x song made for COD zombies
Your video made me check this mod out. Thank you!
I love Blood and Doom so I will be giving this a go.
Caleb: "You got yer Doom in muh Blood."
Doomguy: "You got yer Blood in muh Doom."
Good lord Bloom looks amazing. Going to DL as soon as I get home.
Danm, now I gotta replay the mod again
This looks fantastic! I'll be sure to check out this mod once I finally get around to playing Blood for the first time.
This is an excellent sample and teaser for this amazing oiece of bloody and raw work that I have enjoyed playing a bit off to the effect of great smiles.
Great video!
This is the greatest mod I have ever seen. Blood was so under appreciated and underrated, I literally grew up on and still play both. WOW.
Thanks so much for sharing this! I hadn't heard of this before but now I'll have to check it out! Super impressive how good TC mods for Doom are these days
whoa the visuals are stunning. I wish somebody buys rights for the both franchises and make this project a commercial AAA. I definitely would buy it on steam.

It amazes me how even 30 years after its release, DOOM continues to have an influence on players.
This is bloody brilliant!
I'm incredibly impressed with amount of playability and new content that mod brings! keep up the great work!
Didn't you played Blood?, omg my friend, you MUST go and play it!, excellent video as always my friend, thanks.

The air raid siren @ 2:39 gives me serious PTSD from that one map from Blood, The Raid.
Finally new video thanks bro
Awesome, just awesome. Pity that it didn't come some time earlier when I had a lot time to play.
Bro hearing Not ready to die from A7X...
**Chefs kiss**
This looks awesome. I was never a Doom guy growing up but I played a lot of Blood.
Doom: "they fear you"
Blood: i cant play this..
You totaly convinced me :)
Sound like (heh heh) blooody hell of a fun :D
Love `em both btw ;)
I love hearing "Not Ready To Die" in midi
2:12 That might be a reference to the movie Motel Hell, the sign in the movie says MOTEL HELLO but the O in HELLO is broken so it was off most of the time and I think would occasionally flicker. I only know about that movie because TNT played it on the horror movie show Joe Bob Briggs hosted almost 30 years ago, don't recall hearing about it since. Monster Vision iirc.
That naked baby with the Gatling gun looks like Senator Armstrong from Metal Gear: Reveangeance

Really well done review
God DAMN that looks incredible. Definitely going to try this one.
"the best music in doom mod i've heard"
Hedon: hold my rat
Wicked! Retro-gaming is here to stay. 👏
Arch flying
Doomguy they fly now?
Caleb they fly now
I've been a fan of Doom modding for years, but this is something else entirely. I will be picking this up at my earliest convenience.
Now this is Hell!
Awesome!! 👍vrom Mutant Mods
Haven't been this excited or impressed by a MOD since Brutal Doom, this looks AMAZING!
I love both Doom and Blood and seeing this is a dream come true definitely gonna download it tonight 😊
The fact that the background music is a MIDI of Not Ready to Die by Avenged Sevenfold is amazing
I have played the first few levels of this it’s very high quality and very fun
At 3:56 it's Jojo, the Idiot Circus Boy from the original Blood. You could only see him on posters there tho.
I love that the new weapons for Doomguy are basically giving him equivalents to some of Caleb’s toys
3:55 not sure if anyone pointed it out, but that's Jojo the circus boy! he is referenced throughout both Blood games. He was a carnival freakshow attraction that they would replace every few years with a different incarnation
Dual wielding BFGs made me chuckle.
as someone who has played both Doom and Blood, Cyber-Cheogh sounds absolutely terrifying.
I literally said "Why have you done this?!" when I saw it.
that mod backstory is fucking hilarious and totally sensible and now canon
OMG, that is amazing!
Один из любимых среди mods! Музыка вообще огонь!😈🔥
I really want to see games like these in cutting edge photorealistic graphics!
Great vid, you should also play Blood.
Will do!
The creativity and art design on this "mod" is just insane!
4:05 OMG ITS QUAKEEEE
i just realize the background music is sevenfold "not ready to die call of duty"
Not Ready to die soundtrack is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The song that’s is playing in the background is the instrumental to “Not ready to die” by Avenged Sevenfold. Absolutely amazing pick
We need more games like this also void bastereds is quite epic too
Awesome! Can't wait for DOOD!
I can't believe Blood and Blood 2 never had any sequels... that series was so fun
4 seconds in and i was like "thats not ready to die by avenged" 🤣
Ah, Blood, Doom, Bloom, I knw what I'm gonna go do right now
There's a special place in heaven for Doom's community makers.
Somebody tell Civvie 11, wait maybe not, he might have an aneurysm 😂😂
Lmfao I just came scrolling the comments to see if this was posted.
already finished it last year somewhere. great mod
If map 9 IS a hint, I'm fucking hyped for Quoom. XD
th-cam.com/video/UpjTMSLzcaI/w-d-xo.html
Dual wielding BFGs is terrifying.
3:58 - holy shit that's JoJo!!!
Nice music choice for the background, a classic Avenged Sevenfold song
It’s beautiful 🥲
Easily one of the coolest mods I have ever seen, now I just need to see Civvie lose his marbles over this, combining two of his favorites into one.
You should do a video on Fallout 2's FPS conversion. Love your videos by the way
Song in the background at 1:20 is a chiptune remake of "Not Ready To Die" by Avenged Sevenfold
