Default Blizzard - David Brevik Postmortem at GDC

December 20th, 2015, 03:16
Blizzard North co-founder David Brevik will be hosting a talk at GDC this March and discussing the evolution of the Diablo series.


Blizzard's Diablo helped pioneer the action-RPG genre when the game was released in 1996. It helped lay a foundation for loot-heavy experiences that players enjoy to this day. One of the game's creators is reflecting on the game's development and more during a postmortem talk at next year's GDC.

Blizzard North co-founder and president David Brevik will discuss Diablo at the conference, which is being held March 14-18 in San Francisco. The event's organizers say Brevik will track the game from its early days as a claymation-based DOS game to its familiar dark incarnation. It joins the previously announced Ms. Pac-Man talk.

The GDC Vault will probably release the Postmortem video panel a few weeks\months after it ends as I doubt any of us will be attending GDC 2016 later this year.

Diablo 1-2 were best, IMHO.

Ofc…. the item system that changed it all, Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction

"… thing about Morrowind is we did far more than we could, far less polished than we should. It's a miracle that it works at all… there's too much, and it's like jazz… a product like Oblivion - far better software… but Morrowind… oh there's so much delicious nonsense in that." ~ words of wisdom by K.Rolston
