It took a team of 40 people years to create Diablo 2, but how long would it take now, with new languages and technology? How quickly could 5 people do it? Just curious because I feel like there's still much 2D gaming we haven't tapped into.. 2D can look phenomenal and even better than 3D in some cases.

It would take 1 programmer and 39 content creators.

>but how long would it take now, with new languages and technology?
depends on how much middleware is licensed out, how experienced the coders are, how many iterations the game is going to go through to refine the concept as a whole, how many art assets they want to make and whether the art creators are a bottleneck on the project

>2D can look phenomenal and even better than 3D in some cases.
it's prohibitively expensive to do spritework now but if you want to use vector art and make it look like a flash game then that's on you

Diablo sprites were done in 3d and then simply rasterized, can't manually draw so many armor configurations. No reason to do that today.

CrossCode is the pinnacle of fast 2D slashing.
Diablo 2 is the best online 2D one ever created
D3 was an absolute trash game and still has no pvp
probably a year or so

so whats the deal with the "anal" belt? migrants?

>lesbian so popular
I refuse to believe it. This is faggot propaganda.

>would rather look at a dick
You seem the faggot here.

Nigga of course, good porn is supposed to have good dick.

>good porn is supposed to have good dick
Only if you like looking at dicks, faggot.

After a period of watching amateur Indian aunty (their word for milf) videos, I must agree with pajeet a that this is a patrician choice

Men generally like looking at dick it's one of the most popular search term for men.

And no, it's not only searched by homogay.

this. based pakistan the only non-faggot country

I'm on mobile so I can't go into much detail but I know a lot about the technical side of making D2. They modeled almost everything by hand except for a little bit of drawn stuff here and there. Animations were also done manually. They had custom software that would render out sprite sequences from various camera angles. All armor, weapons and effects were baked out to seperate sprite sequences that were combined in engine. They used dual socket 1ghz machines iirc to render. Most of the effort were on the artists, and while 3D artists today have much better tools not much have changed in terms of modeling. A modern 3D asset takes about 8 hours to make, and that is despite using photogrammetry, semi-auto unwrap, auto lod generation etc.

Basically the tools have not improved speed that much, but they have increased the quality you can get by spending the same amount of time. Using motion capture, photogrammetry, modern 3D tools and pipelines makes no sense if you're gonna bake oit low framerare low bit depth low resolution sprite sequences.

On the other hand, the poly count of the original d2 assets are so low that you could render them in real time on modern hardware.. Now that would have been a coom project to convert them to game ready assets and create d2 in a 3D engine.

afaik you'd get stoned there for requesting it

they're medieval there, forget about them few ten thousand "modern" devs that swam through lakes of poo to get to an university, they're one billion indians, man. and they've got like nothing, except for their religions, to offer the world.

Based Pakistani and Nepali bros searching for those big dicks.

The programming side will take less than a month

what do use? redtube? lmao

import diablo2
how long does it take to open cli? not longer than that
