Zhao Yunting said, Manager, I have a question.
Zhao Yunting was responsible for operations and promotions. She was currently working on Onmyojis day to day operations, but obviously she would be responsible for promoting the new ga when they co out.
Chen Mo nodded, Yep, go ahead.
Im not worried about the ga quality, my main concern is that the ga is really heavy and gore and violence, like corpses in prisons, blood pools, and even a necromancer. Could the ga get pass the committee review? asked Zhao Yunting
Ive already spoken to the Ga Committee. The ga will be rated 18 , so the review shouldnt be a concern. You guys dont have to tiptoe around the things that might make it difficult to pass the review. Theres no need to cut down on the corpses, blood, limbs, give it your all and make sure it doesnt affect the atmosphere of the ga, assured Chen Mo.
Su Jinyu exclaid, Incredibly, the honorary committee mber can do whatever he wants.
Chen Mo laughed, Less talking more working. Alright, now that you guys understand the ga, we can start working on it. Hongxi, Ill send you an overview of the story in a bit, so prepare yourself for that.
The story will have its unique Diablo the. The players must always feel a sense of hopelessness in this world. Take a look at the Dark Ages, Black Death, death by burning, soul cleansing, gibbeting, iron maiden These could all be used in the ga, especially things that are associated with hell. said Chen Mo.
Zheng Hongxi wiped sweat off his forehead, Alright, Ill try my best
After going through the design docunt, everybody started working on various aspects of Diablo, wasting no ti.
As the others were doing research and understanding the design concept, Chen Mo wasted no ti and used mory Playback Potions to take notes on aspects of the design of Diablo.
The difficulty of developing this ga ca from using assets from two different gas, the story and basic gaplay from Diablo 3, but the art style, atmosphere, settings, and highlights from Diablo 2. He must recall both gas and think about how to combine them together.
First, the story will follow Diablo 3.
From an unknown hitting Tristram Cathedral, so beating Skeleton King Leroic in the first act, to defeating the Lord of Lies in the second act, infiltrating Bastion Keep and the Heart of Sin defeating Azmodan in act three, before reaching High Heavens to defeat Diablo.
The story of Diablo 3 was really high quality and wasnt any worse than Diablo 2. But because of the artstyle and the representation of it in general, Diablo 3s story felt lacking. This wasnt because of the story itself, but due to narrative techniques and overall style.
The changes in the scenes of Diablo 3 was also really well done. Field of Misery, Desert, Snowy Plains, Hell, and Heaven, were all well done, and were even referenced many tis by action RPG ga developers in china;
Other than the main story, the players can also learn more about the world through notes, letters, or narratives from the NPCs.
Second, classes and combat systems will be based on Diablo 3 with so balancing changes.
The players can pick two primary abilities, four secondary abilities, and three passives. The abilities and controls were of a familiar design and was much better than Diablo 2.
Moreover, the players arent required to relearn abilities or visit special locations in order to change abilities, making it new player friendly, increasing the potential player base.
Although Diablo 3s abilities system were criticised by fans to be one dinsional as there were only so many viable strategies, Diablo 3s abilities system was actually really rich. It was due to the addition of ranks that players tried their best to discover the best strategy then subsequently being copied by other players that the system beca monotonous.
Therefore, the reason it seed monotonous was entirely due to the ranked system.
Many felt that Diablo 2s ability system was better, but if a ranked ladder was introduced to this system, the players would do the sa min-maxing, which would end up the sa as Diablo 3.
As long as there was a tangible target for the players for the players to reach, these hack and slash gas beco incredibly monotonous as they give up exploring the ga for optimal strategy and builds.
Chen Mo wanted to make so changes to the ability and equipnt systems to make the ga less monotonous.
Third, the equipnt system will be based on Diablo 2.
Although Diablo 3 had a random attribute system like Diablo 2, it didnt work as well because of the introduction of a equipnt ceiling. For example, a certain class must get certain equipnt to allow a build to work, rendering the other equipnt useless.
Chen Mo planned to improve equipnt drop rates, increase the randomness of attributes, and increase the number of equipnt available to redy this.
Of course, this could make the ga difficult to balance. A strong class with strong abilities and strong equipnt, who knows what the players are capable of under so many random elents.
It was a single player ga after all, and as Chen Mo didnt plan to include a market system, the randomness wouldnt affect the ga too much.
Fourth, the difficulty of the ga. Chen Mo wanted to slightly increase the difficulty and the players must complete the ga under the default difficulty.
This will be a challenge to new players as bosses will require fitness and skill to beat. Combined with the artstyle and field of view, the players would be struggling when they play the ga as they could die at a single misstep.
The difficulty will be slightly decreased after multiple deaths, but basically the players couldnt cruise through the story with no obstacles in their way.
