Bashiok對《暗黑破壞神3》地牢的感想

        我認為在D3中,那些更大更詩史的地牢和那些小些普通些但是有著非常特別的口味的主題的地牢之間是相輔相成的.當你走入那些更為詩史的地牢,比如崔斯特瑞姆大教堂(想想它的過去,它難道不詩史麽?)中時,你馬上就會感覺到你身處一個非常重要的地方,一個呈現出神秘景觀和光影的地方,當然這種地方與一個洞穴感覺是完全相反的.

        那種更加詩史的地方很酷!洞穴也同樣牛,但是你很可能不想在一個洞穴裡看到紫色和綠色的魔法光芒,所以洞穴應該會有一種非常不同的壓抑的感覺.如果是一個天然的洞穴,那麽可能會有光束從洞穴頂部的裂縫中射進來或者如果是一個礦坑,那麽裡面就可能會有油燈的燈光.這些天然的洞穴比起一般的洞穴要更加的粗糙,自然.那麽當你步入某個有著強大法術的古老墓穴或類似的地方時,這地方肯定會讓你覺得怪怪的,光線有些不自然,也許會有些病態的綠光來突出主題,烘托氣氛.

        這些類型的主題在很大程度上令遊戲場景不停的變化,保持對玩家的吸引力.如果你在灰色褐色的背景下與惡魔不停戰鬥,幾小時,幾天,也許幾年...這很無聊.有趣,有主題,以及對比鮮明的場景都有助於確保遊戲的壽命.

        我一直想展示給大家一個牛B的地牢的類型與外觀的混合交叉，我們盯著一個地牢已經太久了。每一個地牢都有一個非常獨特的外觀和感覺，所以走進每一個地牢並感受一個徹底的場景的變化實在是很酷。D3的一切都令人興奮，而所有的製作人員都期待著當一切準備好的時候把這些興奮與你分享並且看到大家的回應。

        I think there’s a nice juxtaposition between the larger more epic dungeons and the others that may be less epic but have very specific tones and themes associated with them. When you step inside one of the more epic dungeons, like the Tristram cathedral (and considering its past, shouldn’t it be epic?) you immediately know you’re somewhere important. Somewhere that looks and feels magical in its presentation and lighting, as opposed to, say… a cave.

        Still cool! Caves are still awesome, but you probably don’t want magical purple and green lighting in a cave, it’s probably going to have a much different and subdued feel. If it’s a natural cave it may have light streaming in from cracks above, or if it’s a mine it might have lighting from lanterns. Much earthier and natural. Then you walk into some ancient tomb of a powerful wizard, oh crap, this place clearly has something else going on. The lighting is a bit unnatural, maybe some sickly greenish hues to set a theme and mood.

        That type of theming adds a lot to keeping the scenery changing and interesting. If you’re just fighting demons against a grey or brown backdrop for hours and hours, days and days, maybe years and years… it gets boring. Interesting, themed, and contrasting scenery all help ensure visual longevity.

        I think before too long we’ll have shown a nice cross section of the dungeon types and looks. It’s been too long staring at the one dungeon. Each one has a very unique look and feel, so it’s really cool going in to each one and having a total change of scenery. It’s all very exciting and we’re all looking forward to sharing it with you and seeing the fan reactions just as soon as it’s ready.
