We could also send a dead rat with the tape...

And maybe we should start using Ds3.

Ds3 could definately work.

How about DiIII

The Mad Dragon · Unread postby **The Mad Dragon** » 13 Nov 2006, 19:51

Wouldn't work because both DIablo and DIsciples have DI in them

DaemianLucifer · Unread postby **DaemianLucifer** » 13 Nov 2006, 19:59

But diablo would be DIII

The Mad Dragon · Unread postby **The Mad Dragon** » 13 Nov 2006, 20:19

True, but the same could be said for Disciples. This is why there should be a distinct difference between the two short forms and Ds3 works wonderfully for Disciples 3.

I don't think it makes a huge difference what abbreviation you give it. I highly doubt Diablo 3 will come out anywhere near the release time of Discplies 3, so I don't think people will get the two confused.

True, but there are some people that are calling Diablo D3.....of course it helps to know what thread you are typing in

I didn't realize how time consuming it was to type 5 additional letters...

Well, you know how lazy people are nowadays.....

Any worthy game must have an abreviation.

And DIII? That's what you tell horses over here when you want them to go faster...

I guess I'm unfamiliar with the equestrian norms of your country Titan.

Where you from TT? I'm guessing Romania. (At first I thought you were DLs brother or something and lived the apartment under him)

If not just look at the pictures.

I do.

Ill keep it short:

- .dat was created in 2004 by Dmytry Demyanovskiy and Andrey Ivanchenko (Anry). Before that Dmytry worked as a lead programmer on "Corsairs" and "Pirates of the Caribbean Sea" in "Akella" company. Andrey was lead artist on PotCS.

- they know little about former D3 development by Mist Land-South. From what they know - it didnt even started.

- they do not take HoMM5 as a business rival. Because: 1) Its already long time out 2) currently there are not many TBS on the market 3) D3 is different, nevertheless its of the same genre

- they are trying to be in the know of all fan's wishes, but have own view on what game should become. Yet constructive suggestion still can effect game mechanics.

- Dmytry hopes that they were able to keep atmosphre of the original, nevertheless the overall graphic style is different.

- the Virtual Dream engine is developed by .dat, and was ready to use before D3 project started

- game would require DirectX9 supported video card

- There will be terraforming (like in D2)

- in-game animations are made using motion-capture.

- user interface is fully remade.

- plot will be consecutive. (unlike D2)

- Number of units is nearly the same as in D2.

- More likely one branch of buildings will disable others (like in D2)

- Thief will be one of the leader types

- There will be no Rod-planters. Instead, rods will be placed using special artifact. (which can be used by any leader)

- RPG system is more deeper in D3

- Max leadership value is 8.

- Units can not move on global map without leaders

- Units can move during battles.

- Rods can defend themselves

- Cities will get some more functions.

- map sizes will vary from tiny to huge.

- neutrals may move on the global map. (in same way as in D2 i.e. must be scripted)

- there will be MP, but its details was not discussed yet.

- game is in develompent for 1,5 years by now, and will be finished somewhere next spring

/My Note: by other sources - next fall/

Thanks for the info. But I thought they said it would be released this year.
I'm happy for the delay though
