"The story of Diablo 1 begins with the fall of Skeletron Leorik?"

"Yes, our hero has arrived, he has defeated the Demon Butcher, rescued the last of Hradim's informants, Diccakane, and has gained enough information. Under Kane's direction, the hero delves deep into the crypts of the underground labyrinth, defeats Leorik and Razarus, and defeats Diablo in the final battle of Hell, sealing the Soul Stone with his body. ”

Looking at Marcos's excited expression, Yang Yun suddenly felt that he should rethink his plan for Diablo, because his original plan was to go directly to Diablo 2!

According to Marcos, there are now 5 professions that have appeared, Barbarians, Druids, Assassins, Wizards, and Witches.

However, in the original Diablo 1, there are only 3 people to choose from, the Summoner (Sorcerer), Ed (Warrior), and the Blood Bird (Rogue Rogue), and then in the expansion pack "Hellfire", the Monk, the Barbarian, and the Troubadour were added.

Among them, the wizard is a magician who is proficient in all kinds of magic, the warrior is a soldier who pursues strength, and Rog is an archer.

At the end of the story, the three heroes defeat Diablo together and seal it in the soul stone, but the warrior Eddard feels the instability of the soul stone and decides to insert the soul fragment in his head and suppress it with his own strength.

It's a pity that Eddard, who was overconfident in himself, miscalculated, and his strength could not suppress the King of Fear, after returning to Tristram. He was gradually influenced by demonic energy and eventually degenerated into a dark wanderer in Generation 2. And the wizard successfully entered the 2nd generation game, and another hero, Rog Blood Bird, also became a fallen blood bird. Become the first mini-boss in Diablo 2 to bury bones in the map.

As for the other three people in the expansion, there are basically no deeper scenes, purely playing the role of soy sauce, so Yang Yun did not plan to make a combination of 3+3 Diablo 1+ expansion, which is suspected of dragging the scene and does not meet the characteristics of Longteng's boutique game.

But if you do Diablo 2 directly, then the plot of Diablo 1 will have to be compressed, and Skeletron Leo Eric and Ed will degenerate into dark wanderers. The Blood Bird has also been corrupted and corrupted, and these heroic missions are dead and changing, and the player cannot participate in it personally, and needs to be told to the player in the form of Decca Kane's diary.

And inside Diablo 2, Barbarians, Assassins, Amazons, Druids. Witches, necromancers, and paladins have a total of seven classes, if you want to add them to the plot of Diablo 1. Then you have to continue to stuff scenes into it and make up stories.

It's a little troublesome!

Yang Yun thought for a while and asked, "Marcos, I want to ask you." The end of the game is not the three heroes who sealed Diablo. And then it's gone? ”

Marcos nodded: "Yes, I think if the market response to this game is good." The rest of the story should be able to be included in the expansion, or a second part altogether. ”

Hearing this, Yang Yun hesitated, it was obvious that Marcos did not treat Dark as a classic, but only felt that this idea was worth trying, try it first, and see the effect.

They don't know what the game represents, for them it may be an ordinary RPG, or simply a pseudo-D&D RPG that has been influenced by D&D rules and made by themselves.

"Diablo 1" released the feature film in 1996, released the expansion "Hellfire" in 1997, and then released "Diablo 2" after a gap of 2 years until 2000, and the two generations of the game were separated by more than 3 years.

According to Moore's Law in the computer industry, the performance of computers has doubled in 18 months, and the PC hardware has undergone earth-shaking changes in more than 3 years, and the game effect has also changed a lot.

Change, it's troublesome, now in 1995, according to this hardware level, you can only make a castrated version of Diablo 2, which has the potential to ruin this classic version, but instead does not show the norms.

Don't change,Diablo 1What kind of bad picture quality and simple plot,Yang Yun thinks I really can't stand it,Windows95 just came out this year,How good can the PC game be? And it may not be until 1996, 1997, most of the PCs will be updated to Win95 or 96 system, PC is not clothes, you can change it all year round!

Since he plans to follow Diablo 1 seriously throughout the whole process, Yang Yun is ready to make a decision after learning more about it.

“OK！ Marcos, don't care about the plot for now, show me the game demo you have prepared! ”

The demo at the beginning of the project may be a small piece of program, including character walking, combat, dialogue, action and other demonstrations, maybe there are only a few blank spaces marked with English words in the town map, maybe all weapons or potions and the like are all implemented by input commands, anyway, it is far from the official release version.

In front of the PC console,Everyone gathered around,This Demo applet didn't even do the login interface,David entered the DOS instruction,Run the program,Yang Yun found that this is a basic game interface diagram,And it's very rough,At most, it's a schematic diagram of the location of the interface,Or use the lines and colors of the rules and regulations to distinguish。

At the bottom of the screen is 1/5 of the horizontal bar area is the operation area, the lower left corner is the chat, map, menu and other buttons, the right side is the skill plus point and skill control settings, the classic red and blue magic ball is next to the functional area on the left and right, and there are 8 shortcut keys in the middle, as well as the chat and typing area.

David entered another command in the chat box, and the character's backpack compartment was all opened, exactly the same as the position of Diablo 2, and the interface was similar, the classic situation of the upper character and the lower pocket space.

It's just that the equipment of the characters in the picture is a bit monotonous, helmets, armor, necklaces, two rings, two weapon slots on the left and right, a total of 7 places to put equipment, and the interesting thing is that the outside of these equipment grids is drawn with simple arms and torso shadows, which do look like human figures.

In addition, the number of bag spaces is pitiful, and with 4*10 bag space, a casual piece of armor occupies 6 places, which is really not enough.

When Yang Yun plays Diablo 2, he will also feel that the space in his bag is not enough, and many times he has to put the treasure in the Heradic cube, which is an additional storage space, whenever Yang Yun thinks of this headache detail, what he misses the most is the 22-grid enlarged Onexia leather bag in the World of Warcraft, and a person can carry 4 backpacks, as well as a giant bag like a Big Mac.

After David explained the details of each interface in detail, Yang Yun had already made a preliminary decision, he looked at Marcos and Eric, and asked, "I wonder if you have played the SS version of "Tomb Raider"?" Do you guys have any thoughts on its handling? ”

Marcos nodded: "Mr. Yang, I know what you mean." Modes like Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy are perfect for our Diablo. This demo is just a simple work of David, which is just to show what we have been thinking about for the past two months on PC, not that we will definitely develop it on PC consoles! ”

Yang Yun was stunned: "What do you mean?" I want to ask, does the mode of "Tomb Raider" use a joystick to control the game cursor have any impact on "Diablo", and can the control accuracy of the joystick completely replace the mouse? ”

David laughed along: "Our requirements for cursor positioning are very low, we have tried and tested, the four buttons of the SS controller, and the four function keys at the index finger can meet all the requirements of game operation, and even the cursor is not needed!" ”

Yang Yun had a game interface in his mind that didn't need to be controlled with a mouse at all, and he couldn't figure it out, how to order NPCs without a mouse? How do you order all kinds of monsters? How do I choose the angle of magic or bow shot?

"Let me demonstrate the control of the character, starting with walking."

David introduced, typing in the command to close the backpack, and then put his fingers on the keyboard, the game character in the middle of the screen began to walk, and the whole map also moved, ensuring that the character always stood in the middle of the screen.

"This kind of character walking mode, we only need to use the arrow keys to complete, and it is very convenient to control it with the controller!"

Burst......

Yang Yun almost didn't squirt blood, what kind of rhythm is this? Fairy Sword version of Diablo?

No wonder they say they don't need a mouse, it turns out to be like this......

Yang Yun sighed and asked, "What is your battle form?" Don't need a mouse either? ”

Marcos added: "Yes, we're going to make it a turn-based RPG so that you can get rid of mouse controls altogether!" ”

It turns out that the original Blizzard team is really going to make it a turn-based game mode......

Isn't this a cheat? Yang Yun covered his forehead, dizzy for a while, he didn't know what was wrong with the Dao!

"Wait a minute, Marcos! Who came up with the idea? "Yang Yun thinks that this kind of low-level mistake shouldn't appear on Blizzard, right? Turn-based darkness, there's no mistake!

Marcos laughed, "The four of us unanimously decided to do it. Mr. Yang, the SS platform is indeed inconvenient to operate with a mouse and keyboard. We initially decided to make it on the PC platform, but the effect on PC was far less good than that of SS, so two months ago, we discussed it for a long time, and finally decided to use the battle mode of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which could be completely compatible with the SS platform. ”

David, Eric and the others laughed with Da Lang: "Mr. Yang, you don't plan to sue us for infringement again, do you?" ”

Yang Yun is angry and funny, I don't accuse you of infringement, I sue you for cheating!
