Following the success of Duke Nukem 3D, development progress was made public starting in June 1996 with weekly updates on their website. It was originally scheduled for release in early 1997. On January 22, 1997, a press release announced that all rights had been sold to Monolith[1] so that 3D Realms "could focus efforts on Shadow Warrior,"[citation needed] another Build engine game slated for release the same year. Released on May 31, 1997, Blood utilized an enhanced version of the Build engine from Ken Silverman[2] which featured the addition of voxels. The game falls in the first-person shooter category, and has an arsenal of bizarre and nefarious weapons, numerous enemies and liberal amounts of gore.
So, sometime between January and May, 1997. By my calculations, that would mean that people were posting during the Late Disco Era, about the time mammals stopped laying eggs.
