Blood Omnicide goal is to provide a faithful high definition versions of original Blood Omen contents including media, gamecode, text and more.

Producing a 3d port of Blood Omen effectively breaks into this tasks:

* New gamecode written from scratch
* Make port able to link to original game (catching some of it's resources)
* 3D levels made from scratch
* Retexturing
* Stereonized music (optional)

===General goals===
* Port Blood Omen to 3D
* Unveil all original resources and formats to be used by community
* Produce a open-source code suitable for modding and level making
* Provide nearly-same color theme and game feel as in original
* Fix bugs caused by old technology limitations
* Add optional new features

====Gamecode goals====
* Implement all Blood Omen game mechanics
* Make things extendable
* Evolve original features in the way they was maked by Blood Omen developers

====Level design goals====
* Implement all of original locations
* Add new secrets and a ways to breach into the secret (using new abilities of 3D technology)
* Keep level design as much faithful as possible, while providing a visual quality of locations

====Reexturing goals====
* 8x texture resolution in comparison with original textures (x256 larger textures)
* Keep the original color theme as much as possible (this is tough)
