Like before Chen Mo did "The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes", and Zen Mutual Entertainment did "Edgeworth Love", the sales of this stand-alone game in the first month were only about 400,000, which was completely drizzle.

Many people feel that Chen Mo is more conservative and less enterprising to make such a game, even if he can maintain the sales of this game at a good level with his strong plot ability and reputation, it is absolutely impossible for him to become a hit.

What's more, judging from the original paintings released by Chen Mo, this game is a bit suspicious of being too biased. With such a strong and weird cult art style, how many players will like it?

Once it can't be controlled, then the game is equivalent to driving away the mainstream players who occupy the vast majority.

Someone is looking forward to it.

Some people questioned.

Someone sneered.

……

Chen Mo was not affected in any way, anyway, he basically didn't pay attention to these doubts, whether the game is good or not, you will only know when you make it.

If you forcibly predict it before this, there is a high probability that you will be slapped in the face.

The development of Diablo is also progressing steadily.

After the expansion of personnel, the speed of research and development has been greatly accelerated.

In Chen Mo's previous life, the development of "Diablo 3" took a long time, and if it is calculated from "Diablo 2" to "Diablo 3", it will take 12 years.

Of course, there are a lot of twists and turns, and most of the time is not spent on developing the game, but on overturning and redoing it.

Due to commercial mergers and acquisitions, the main creative team of Northern Blizzard's "Diablo 2" has left en masse, and the development of "Diablo 3" has also been shelved for a long time.

And the initial version that had been developed did not win the favor of the top management, and the final result was a complete overthrow and redo, so "Diablo 3" did not perfectly continue the spiritual connotation of "Diablo 2".

For Chen Mo, he can completely avoid these detours that he has taken and look at this game with a very mature vision, so the development progress has been greatly accelerated.

A large number of original drawings of monsters and characters, after Chen Mo gave the line draft, were completed by Zhou Hanyu, and handed over to the outsourcing company to make models and actions in a unified manner, and accepted them in batches.

Several assistants work on various scenes and levels through the Mirage Editor, adjusting the combat flow of the entire game.

CG with a higher level than "Warcraft" is also in full swing.

There are also numerical balances, prop design, detailed adjustments related to players' feelings, etc., the entire studio is running at full capacity, and under the drive of Chen Mo, these people have been twisted into a rope, and the speed of research and development has been greatly accelerated.

Diablo is more difficult to develop than Warcraft, but after expanding the staff, the development progress is a little faster than Warcraft, and it took more than four months to basically complete the original version of the game.

The CG is not complete, the numerical balance is not particularly perfect, there is no secret realm, ladder and expert mode, but it is already playable.

……

Chen Mo came to the experience store and found an empty massage chair to lie down.

In the past few days, he has been accepting various art resources and skills, levels and other settings, and he has been a little busy, and finally has a free time, lying on the massage chair and resting for a while.

Zou Zhuo was playing Warcraft on the computer next to him.

"The store manager has worked hard, how is the new game?" Zou Zhuo said as he handed Chen Mo a can of drink, "I was itching in my heart after I heard that it was an RPG game, but unfortunately Goldfish and Qian Kun have moved over there, and I can't see the progress of this game." ”

Chen Mo said: "It's already ready to play, you wait a minute, I'll go get a mobile hard drive and copy a trial version." ”

Zou Zhuo was pleasantly surprised: "Yes, you can already play?" Great, store manager, your efficiency is terrifying! ”

Chen Mo returned to the studio next to him and took a mobile hard drive to copy the unfinished version of "Diablo" and installed it on Zou Zhuo's computer.

According to Chen Mo's estimate, it should be online in half a month, now let Zou Zhuo play, experience the entire game process, and collect feedback from players.

After installing it quickly, Zou Zhuo was a little difficult to suppress the excitement in his heart, after all, he was the first player to try this game, and he was still very proud.

The players next to him also gathered around.

"Damn, Diablo can be played?"

"The store manager is really prolific like a sow, hurry up and hurry up, enter the game and take a look!"

"Awesome, onlookers."

"Store manager, I want to play too!"

Chen Mo smiled: "Don't worry, this is just a trial version now, there are still a lot of questions, you can wait patiently, next week it will be put on the computer of the experience store for everyone to play casually, and it will be officially released next week." ”

Zou Zhuo double-clicked the icon on the desktop: "I don't care, anyway, I want to experience it first!" ”

Everyone else also came over to watch Zou Zhuo try it out.

As expected, before entering the game, it was a CG.

The first thing that catches your eye is a piece of red ink, printed with the LOGO of Thunder Games.

The camera slowly pans upwards, revealing a delicate parchment roll beneath the ink, filled with words of unknown meaning.

With a somewhat oppressive melody, an old voice whispered.

"When the end comes, strange fires will pierce the sky."

"Justice will fall on the mortal world, and the war between light and darkness will spread to the eternal realm......"

Accompanied by this prophetic whisper, scrolls of pictures appeared on the parchment scrolls.

One by one, crows appeared on the battlefield lined with spears, a thunderbolt exploded in the air, a waterfall of light poured down, and an army of angels descended from above, rushing towards the demon army on the ground.

Scenes of war, angels and demons are engaged in a fierce battle on the battlefield, and finally, the earth cracks, and a huge demon god appears in the picture scroll, opening his bloody mouth and rushing over!

Leah woke up with a sudden look of horror in her eyes.

In the gloomy cathedral, the old Dika Kane is still sitting at his desk and examining the old records.

"According to these accounts, the demons of hell may have taken action, and we must warn the world as soon as possible!"

"You believe me, don't you, Leah? The end has come to ......"

At this moment, the cathedral suddenly began to shake violently, a thunderclap flashed, and a terrifying strange fire suddenly appeared in the clouds in the sky, it was a meteorite.

The meteorite slices through the sky and crashes towards the cathedral, causing Leah to fall to the ground with a violent impact, and when she stands up to look for Dika Kane, she finds only a large crater left in the distance.

"Uncle!!"

In Leah's exclamation, the entire CG ended, and the Diablo game logo appeared in the center of the screen, along with its English name.

DIABLO！
