Stone one: Saving original game feel and providing nearly same gameplay and balance. For sure, there will be some improvements & innovations, just because of nature of porting. Most critical ones should be optional in order to not violate game experience.
Stone two: SDK that is open for modifications and additions so Omnicide can be used as a base for expansion packs and mods created in the world of Blood Omen.
Stone three: Blood Omnicide is engine port, it provides a patch that will port original game to new rendering pipeline. Blood Omnicide would require original PC Blood Omen or Playstation version of Blood Omen in order to play.
