Title: Blizzard prototyped "Starblo" at one time (Diablo-style ARPG set out in Space)
Post by: MysterD on Tuesday, October 23, 2012, 05:59:46 AM

PC Gamer -> Blizzard North at one time was prototyping a Diablo-style ARPG set out in space. (http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/10/23/blizzard-prototyped-diablo-clone-set-in-space/)

Quote

“Like Diablo 2, Starblo would take place over several acts, but rather than journey across a single world, players would board their customizable spaceship and travel to new planets, killing and looting the space creatures they found there.

By the time Dave Brevik and the Schaefers left Blizzard North in summer 2003, the Starblo team had produced a few playable builds of the game, but still hadn’t come up with a proper name.”

"Starblo" just sounds dirty. Just cosmically filthy.

LMFAO!!!
Sounds like a porn-flick title!

Anyways, this "Starblo" game could've been interesting...probably a lot better than how Space Siege turned out.

I'd play it. I'd play the game currently playing in my head.
