Blizzcast: Episode 5

5, blizzcast, podcast

blizz

"BlizzCast" is a series of podcasts, that cover a large range of interviews, insider thoughts and comments on some upcoming/current products along with various goodies and footage. Blizzard already kicked off with their first Podcast some months ago and as  expected, non of the last several  episodes featured any video content (though Karune originally stated, that this may be possible in the future).

Episode Five has been just recently released and unlike all past episodes it focuses chiefly on Diablo 3. The main theme of the first part of the podcast summerizes the most momorable events at the recent WII in Paris, France. A decent sized interview with Jay Wilson (Lead Designer for Diablo 3) composes the second part of the episode.

In this special Worldwide Invitational wrap-up edition of BlizzCast, we briefly recap some of the events at the recent WWI in Paris, and then move straight into a discussion with Diablo III Lead Designer Jay Wilson. We quiz him on how the development team is evolving the classic series --  and then dive into a discussion of some recent hot issues surrounding the upcoming sequel.


Interview snippet:

Bashiok: So, everybody's back from WWI now, have been for a while.  Where is the development team focused right now?  What is everybody working on?
       
Jay Wilson: Well the team's pretty big so we've got them split up on different things.  Most of the art team is actually working on the second act of the game, because a lot of the team is really production focused now and we're generating content for the most part a lot of the tech and underlying engine is really solid.  Most of the design team is still on Act 1 because we're refining and improving the quests and flow and some of the big game systems that we haven't really announced yet.  We kind of dove back into content production fairly quickly.  


BlizzCast is available for download  (mp3 format), though you can also check the transcript here. Official page here.

Useless comments >>> all :D

For me it seems like the girl/woman is chewing a gum :DDDDD But indeed a nice interview and I would appreciate a video, instead of a mp3.
