"We have a manufacturer, Matthew Cederquist, and my fellow designer Andre Abrahamian, they literally went to Diablo 2 Items all the physical warehouses appearing through filing cabinets," Rob Gallerani recalls. "People actually had filing cabinets at some point in their life. It was also going through people's desks. They would find folders on drives which were just called,'We should probably back this up at some point'. Old marketing materials. It wasn't simple, but it was very exciting."

"In addition to this physical envelopes and binders we found stuff in the code too," Rob Gallerani claims of another side of the equation, Diablo II's source code. "Diablo II is running on a motor that goes back to the original Diablo. So we had moments where it was like, why is this at the engine? Then you're like,'Oh, a mild radius used to matter in Diablo one'. There is a flashlight, there is body components. What was a little crazy was due to the character of the way we were like let us take all the art and make it 3D, we actually started making 3D assets for articles which wasn't even used or was turned off."

"Then we realised we had to do a pass," Rob laughs. "There is probably a few things modders will find where they'll be like'We can use that thing'."

Above all though, that's receiving the code, artwork, and 2000-era 3D assets (as Diablo II's sprites were based on old-school 3D rendering) it was all in support of getting a better understanding of the game itself. A fact bolstered by having people at Blizzard today that were part of the Diablo II development team to draw on.

"We have been concentrated on developing from a perspective of'What if they had these tools today, back then? ''' Rod Fergusson states, when summing up the process behind remastering Diablo II. "What could they have done and how would they have done it? This archaeology, of digging through old assets and code has helped us understand that the intention of the original creators. We want to Cheap Diablo 2 Resurrected Items be respectful to that vision since it's great. We love what Blizzard North did and we're just trying to make sure a new generation gets to play it."
