Goofs aside, I’m really excited to announce I’ve joined @Blizzard_Ent as a Senior Designer on the Diablo team! pic.twitter.com/KUsqH1vpPc— Harrison G. Pink (@GilesPink) July 18, 2017
Seriously don’t know what to make of this as they hired someone with virtual no ARPG design experience… and this position is likely for “Diablo 4”.
Adventure games like The Walking Dead tend to utilize decision tree based designs (timed responses or player actions that branch to other decisions which results in differing outcomes). So there are some specific differences when it comes to designing the character development systems.
There hasn’t been more specific details as to which area he will be a senior designer though. They could be tapping him for world game design for example since his resume shows that he was recently working on “open world combat level design” for Hangar 13’s Mafia III.
