Hi all,
Regarding DD2, my biggest concern is that the development team will modifiy the Divinity engine to be 3D in some way (much like the screenshots I've seen for Rift Runner). I am probably old fashioned, but I LIKE 2D graphics, especially when done as well as in DD, and would love to see improvements to THAT technology rather than see the game migrate to 2˝ D with 3D characters on 2d backgrounds.
Before I assume this will be the case, are there any devs or moderators reading the forums who can tell me for sure what plans the devs have for the sequel, graphics wise? All I've heard is that DD2 is going to be built using a "modified" version of the Divinity engine. What sort of modifications, and are the graphics/characters going to look very different to DD's? I love the silky smoothness of DD's graphics and don't see any reason to change to anything else other than smoothER graphics and movements without moving to 3D ala Ultima Online LBR (I think that was the one, it was a local South African server run by players, for players, they migrated to a new version of UO that had the usual 2D backgrounds but the player and monster models all moved to 3D, which did NOT look that great in my opinion).
That worry aside, I can't wait for DD2 to hit the stores next year!
Cheers
