| Bashiok: The Unburied is formed by the fusion of soil, rock, human bodies and angry souls. The spikes that jut from its body are shards of stone ripped from the earth during the development of the creature. Source. |

I was looking at the new Unburied screenshots, namely this one.Bashiok: Well to be perfectly honest all of these shots are set up. Generally you're probably not going to run into that many at one time. So a couple dispersed within a sea of every other monster, you don't see the stark repetition. I don't think normal spawning conditions would have that many facing you at once, especially because they're kind of tough. As far as having randomized creatures... mmm... it would take a lot of work but of course it wouldn't be impossible. The question is though, does that massive undertaking just to make sure a creature doesn't look the same as the one next to it matter when they're dead within a matter of seconds? Probably not. Or a more important question is, how many unique types of monsters do we cut from the final game so this guy doesn't always have an arm in the same place? The stark reality of production schedules! They give me nightmares too. There will be creature variations, but it's not quite the same as randomization of body parts. Source. |
