Diablo I

[IronWarfare]

Last updated was on 2 december 2010, and no progress, no website, no team etc... I'm not sure if this will be completed

[Spinvis]

Why so negative?

You must realize that he is working on this project alone in his free time, and that it will take time. There is no source code, so everything needs to be reverse engineered. If you want more and faster progress i suggest you start helping him out

And judging from the progress so far, i can see he already came a long way. Being able to start up a new game, walk around, graphics, in game map etc... etc... I have patience, i can wait, specially for something as cool as this.

When the time comes I will roll a proper site and Source-forge page, but for now please accept this quite off-topic thread.

He should start to gather a team to have some help. Remaking the first Diablo would be killer, but making this alone would takes ages.

/\ A lot of things work quite well when it's one guy. Take these for example

DaggerXL and DarkXL

Both being made by the same guy, and the game is almost fully playable for Dark Forces, and also Daggerfall is pretty close too. You'd be amazed by what just one coder can do when they don't need any custom assets

[Spinvis]

@ Bloodshot: Yeah DarkXL is great, i myself am a frequent user of DarkXL, and i am gonna use it even more since its gonna support Blood and Outlaws as well, that's gonna be even more kick ass. I don't have the Elder Scrolls III so i can't play with DaggerXL, but i am sure its great as well since its from the same author.

@ IronWarfare, he is not remaking Diablo, but reverse engineering it. It means you will need the original data files from the game in order to play the game with the new engine.

I love D1, D2 was a great game too, but the atmosphere just wasn't as great as the first game, imho.

A small update for Bobdevis' Diablo and Hellfire project. Hopefully something playable soon.

[IronWarfare]

It was updated? Oh, and I was pessimistic about this project (because of bad experiences in the past).

[DaniOcampo1992]

Man.. I finished D1 with the 3 characters, incredible atmosphere that true.. I played D2 too, I choosed the paladin, it was funny, nice story, but wasn't the same as the first one.. I used to hate the forest.. -.-'
Couldn't finish the game, It was impossible to beat Diablo with the paladin..

I loved WC3, but never played WoW..

Diablo, I...

Another update for the Diablo project:

[Bloodshot]

That's cool, I got a question for you, will we be able to make new dungeons and towns for Diablo 1 when this thing is finished?

[DaniOcampo1992]

Graphically I can't see any difference.. :/

[Spinvis]

@Bloodshot, i have no idea, you can ask the author here: link.

@daniocampo1992, i think you misunderstand, it is not a remake or retexture of the game, it is a complete reverse engineer of the Diablo 1 game and it's Hellfire expansion. So you will need to have the original CD of Diablo in order to play it. With this you will be able to play the game on modern computers and other OS.

Finally, the first public release is upon us, only for Linux for now, you can grab the tarball from the sourceforge page: ProjectDDT
