The Build engine's source code isn't enough to port any game running on it, since Build was made as a library (I believe most developers using Build in the 90s didn't have access to the source code).

Also, wasn't there an official Blood port by Nightdive Studios?

It may have been fixed up since but the official ND port had some problems at the time of release (if I remember a civvie11 vid correctly)

edit: just looked it out, it seems this has been address. I'm linking the videos because they're entertaining :D

Also, the original build code is extremely hard to read!
