“Not just our code, but all of our assets,” Max Schaefer mentioned on the time. “Irrevocably, fatally corrupted.”
“It’s all gone,” added the opposite Schaefer brother, Erich. “We were supposed to have a backup but neglected it. We spent a day or two in sheer panic.”
While the group had been capable of end Diablo 2 by taking chunks from varied builds and sections the builders had at residence, that unique supply code was nonetheless misplaced, together with numerous artwork property. “It would make it very difficult for Blizzard to do a Diablo 2 remaster because all the assets we used are pretty much gone,” Erich Schaefer added. “They’d have to make them from scratch.”
Last month, one modder released their very own fully-fledged remake of the game constructed inside Crate Entertainment’s Grim Dawn. Called Reign of Terror, the mod is a full remake – not a 1:1 copy – of the ARPG, contains all content material and courses current within the unique Diablo 2, in addition to its enlargement Lord of Destruction.
