Love it. If you were able to work out a deal with Blizzard and use the art style of the original Diablo, maybe even the original music, I’d see this every bit of at least a $30 game. Amazing work. Had such a blast! Thank you for making it!!!
This game can sell. way better than a lot of AAA shit we get these days in name of loot box and cosmetics. It was fun to play. Thank you for making and letting us play it.
Love this! Would happily pay for a full feature version, even if was changed enough to avoid copyright bs. And I dont think you would have to change much apart from the name and Deckards character. Make it happen devs!! You have a hit here 5/5 ❤❤❤❤❤
I would agree with you, but Blizzard is so far gone from what they used to be and the management that they used to have that they literally wouldn't know that this is their stuff. Anyone who even tried to explain it to them would likely be told that gamers and games made before 2012 don't matter. IE: Book of Demons aped blizzard blind and got no push back. Orcs Must Die is cribbed from 90s blizzard concept art, no pushback ext. Rename him "Deckhard Kang" and the town "Dristram" and the principle demon "Diabolus" and your 100 percent in the clear lol.
Gave this a go. Must say, it was really sad to see one of the heroes go to the graveyard while "Visiting a friend", and her telling the deceased that she's sorry.
@@hansdampf5486 Yes. The devs will have to change the name and make it legally distinct from Diablo because Blizzard sucks ass now. They can keep the core concept and all, but if they want to monetize, they have to change it up
I still play the Tristram theme when I need some focus-music for work. Amazing work. This game DOES hit the nostalgia buttons, but it looks pretty good on its own right as well!
cacodemon is from the doom franchise. and its a 3 line party system, you kept choosing front and second liners which is why your party size was stuck to 3. at least thats how it looked.
when I first played Diablo 1 I thought as a kid: yes ok this is not an RTS but I was thinking how cool an RTS would be with the visuals from diablo 1. imagine being a bit more zoomed out so you can see the map better and just building a town like tristram and afterwards units etc to scout and clear the dungeons.. maybe something RPG like warcraft 3 where you control a party of heroes and units + base + ressource management etc. some thoughts! Apart from that cool game really nice! better than 90% stuff that comes out today which has no soul!!! 9/10
I believe diablo is trademarked, but tristram isn't. Deckard cain only has sprite similarity and anyone can mimic the voice. Also i think no one will to sue a totally free game, it will backfire badly against social media.
Imagine if Blizzard allowed devs to use their IP for small, indy projects like this without straight up being able to steal anything that's created under the lore.
i played something like that on android, a few years ago, or maybe even on the pc, not sure, and I've been searching for it unsuccessfully since then. Pretty much the same concept, but you're in charge of the town, and you're outfitting the adventurers, I'd even say you're a blacksmith who equips heroes, and they bring you gold/material from dungeon for crafting, my memory is hazy, but something like that was the concept, I even then think they would hang around in your shop browsing before being sent to dungeon, or maybe you were the mayor/chief of the town. I'd love to find it again, it was fun, but I broke my phone and lost access to it.
Dungeon Village? or maybe Evil Hunter Tycoon? Still, I highly HIGHLY recommend using chat GPT and describing the game as much as you can. These last 2 to 3 weeks I was almost losing my mind trying to remember a game I played in my childhood. No one in the forums I posted were able to find out. After literally one message to chatGPT and one adjustment to its reply, that wonderful AI found out lmao. Never slept better since these few weeks.
I am going to give it a try. I do agree with a few other commentors, this would be an amazing game if they were able to make it original and expand on it.
Love the idea. I used to play a game called Majesty (I think was the name?) - you could not directly control the heroes, but you could level up your fortress and put bounties on monsters. Your game kind of reminds me of that concept. I actually went to Steam to buy this - I hope your team takes this idea and builds upon it. (I'd also stay clear of Blizzard - they would most likely smight you with lawyers of doom).
Really awesome game. Hope they can reuse the gameplay concepts with an original coat of paint so it can be sold as a standalone game without being sued for its Diablo themes.
There is a fully developed game like this, its Darkest dungeon :) Although having more focus on town management and less on dugeoneering (exactly like this has) would been cool. DD is for hardcore players, this is chill :)
Reminds me of Faraway Kingdom (10ish year old Android game). Anyone remember that game? I like that this is set in D1 universe. I think I'll try this one, as I haven't scratched my "send heroes into a dungeon while I build a city" itch in a long time.
Have you played Mini Healer?? its not a full auto battler you control the healer and the rest of your party is just AI, its alot of fun, some good boss mechanics plus talents and gear
This whole thing was 72 hours ? Or the basics, and then when they found it was nice they expanded on it but they just had 72 hours for the basic prototype so to speak, because for 72 hours this is nuts. Nice art style. Frankly, if they really could make this even more like Diablo, that would be awesome. A lot of potential, and frankly a built in fan base. Just a bit more info in the hero screen, make swapping easier, they can do more with items probably, but this is already a nice idea. They could still add more buildings, or more functions to buildings, more upgrades, nice idea that just needs more. For one, more stages, more dungeons, then more locations, more and more classes, weapons, items, enemies, and so on.
This game was really fun. The fact that they made it in 72 hours. Honestly if they remove Diablo and just focus on this as a Sim I will happily pay for this on Steam.
My only gripe with this cute little game is the fact, you can't control the parties the way you want them when it comes to swapping or kicking. It really cuts down on the deaths bringing a healer and a tank to the group. Also, never get the captain or the mage, they die way too fast even on S level. The Warrior and Warden hit like trucks. When you get to the Demon Levels, you will get groups of 4 or 5, instead of 3. So recruit more, when a group beats the skeleton king.
@Idle cub, there was a game like this on Steam years ago. I searched for a while and found it again. The name -> Swag and Sorcery. Of course it has mixed reviews because games like this naturally become quite repetitive after hours. Which is relatively normal in my personal opinion.
This looks like a game called "swag and sorcery" a lot, that game had a lot of potential but it was just abandoned by the creators, this one has all that potential + the diablo theme, with good QoL this game would sell really well, unfortunately it's diable themed so if the devs tried to monetize it, they probably have to pay 10x more money than the game makes to blizzard...
I absolutely loved Majesty back in the day! And I see what you mean, it is somewhat similar because of how every hero has their own will and they do what they want
@@idlecub In Majesty, all you had to do was make things better for the heroes and point them towards threats. It was a lot of fun. And there was an addon too. I'm going to try this game out. I played Diablo back in the day.
If you like this, you should try Dungeon Village 2 (there is a one but they are basically the same) from Japanese developer Kairosoft. They are available on ios and android. The concept is similar-ish but the color is more vibrant.
That was a really fun playthrough! Thanks for showcasing our little game 😊
It's absolutely beautiful! I just wish there was more 😅
I would like to buy something like this for steam deck!

Not going to lie they need to redo this and make it 100% original lore and setting wise to avoid lawsuits and sell it. This looks good and I'd buy it.
Yeah, honestly this would work fine with any dungeon fantasy town.
I agree with this.
I would agree with you, but Blizzard is so far gone from what they used to be and the management that they used to have that they literally wouldn't know that this is their stuff. Anyone who even tried to explain it to them would likely be told that gamers and games made before 2012 don't matter.

@@sachavykos3206also they cant sur if the game is free, that's how it currently fine
@@sachavykos3206😂😂 so true
Gave this a go. Must say, it was really sad to see one of the heroes go to the graveyard while "Visiting a friend", and her telling the deceased that she's sorry.
Fun concept! I hope the devs decide to flesh out this concept more and make the game mechanics more detailed.
It could be a great game.
They'd probably have to rebrand sadly
@@mullerpotgieter Sadly big brands are not supporting this kind of stuff, since it is also advertising their own products. Should be a colaboration
@@hansdampf5486 Yes. The devs will have to change the name and make it legally distinct from Diablo because Blizzard sucks ass now. They can keep the core concept and all, but if they want to monetize, they have to change it up
Sad but glad if they continue on the great idea
72 hours for this ? wow . incredible. it looks sooo good.
Your character moves WAY too fast for this to be a real Tristram replica
That comment gave me a good chuckle
Must have equipped the King's Sword of Haste
😅i get where you coming from
But you forgot it is cain
He is always there befor you
That old sob
He was playing at triple speed in town. Then wondering why new recruits left very soon doh! ;D
aHAHAHAHAHA
There's so much potential here! They really need to make this deeper (with their own IP).
The healer Ehol and the archer Jaerika were the mvp in this gameplay
This game has so much potential as an S tier auto battler there should be a retreat button imo
Lots of bugs but to be expected
@@mandrewski2742 This game was made in 72 hours.
The winged demon in white in the opening might be a reference to Albedo from Overlord. Certainly looks like her (for a grainy sprite).
I still play the Tristram theme when I need some focus-music for work. Amazing work. This game DOES hit the nostalgia buttons, but it looks pretty good on its own right as well!

Keky's death really got to you, didn't it? lol Great video! And the game!? 72 hours? Amazing!
This looks pretty good. Fun concept to, would love to play a more fleshed out version of this
I get goosebumps when I hear that music with Deckard's voice...
I'm surprised that Blizzard haven't sued this game out of existence.
I believe diablo is trademarked, but tristram isn't. Deckard cain only has sprite similarity and anyone can mimic the voice. Also i think no one will to sue a totally free game, it will backfire badly against social media.
@@zerase84 Nintendo would like a word. XD
@@ibrahimx28Nintendo should repent
I would love this a full game as well. But even as short game it's great!

there are 3 titles that do what you describe: swag and sorcery, weapon shop fantasty and dragon cliff. these games are on steam.
@@gkwon7295 could be Weapon Shop Fantasy, since I remember them being able to browse items and walking around the store when not adventuring
On iOS it’s Shop Titans
Downloaded & played it - totally worth the time for a free time
Amazing little Game. Doesnt take more like maybe 45 minutes to finish, but it was fun. Would love to see more of it.
Played this and really enjoyed it. Just wish it was longer!
I randomly found this video and gave the game a playthrough. Very fun and cozy little game. Thank you
I am going to give it a try. I do agree with a few other commentors, this would be an amazing game if they were able to make it original and expand on it.
this reminds me of Darkest Dungeon, but autobattler and old school nostalgic graphics! love it

GREAT IDEA OF A GAME! I aways got myself lost imagining living in diablos cities
Lut Gheulain (sure I spelled that wrong) was the one that always got to me to trip out on it for a while, Tristram was a badass village. Good times.
this is blizzard ip tho won't there be legal complications with this game?
There is so much potential to this game, really hope to game jam team would come together and finish this game.
The Fallout Shelter type game that Blizzard missed out on.
Because they are creatively and morally bankrupt.
There is a fully developed game like this, its Darkest dungeon :) Although having more focus on town management and less on dugeoneering (exactly like this has) would been cool. DD is for hardcore players, this is chill :)
I wish this game was longer. I liked the art style, and the gameplay a lot. Would have purchased a more fleshed out version of this absolutely.

I can't find it on steam, where is it?
“There is no cow level! “
wish this could get fleshed out some more and more features and more stuff :D
I feel like if blizzard put its D4 money into this instead of the garbage they released, everyone would be 500% happier.
This reminds me of Majesty. I want to try it!
What game engine did they use to make this? Is it GODOT or GAMEMAKER?
Is there any game like this that’s a full game? This is simple yet just what I didn’t know I was looking for !
majesty. lovely game. I prefer the first over majesty 2, can't remember why.
Awesome looking game. Thanks for sharing!
Worldbox + Diablo = Incredible Game!
There should be an ending where any hero tells of defeating the devil but for ElDeckard again to check why they're hiding a soul stone in their head
Hmmm... I'm looking for kind of this play style, anyone susgest any game like this style?
What brilliant game, they really should continue develop this
Have you played Mini Healer?? its not a full auto battler you control the healer and the rest of your party is just AI, its alot of fun, some good boss mechanics plus talents and gear
Would be SO much better if you actually picked who goes to what team. Also to have UI to facilitate that and shows all relivent info
LOL that intro voice. Also make the village get bigger with the leveling, more houses etc
Wil this be on steam?
What is this type of game called? Because I love this and I want more of it!
Is there something similar, but more complete?

More chill version of darkest dungeon? idk.
Intriguing game to chill to.
i feel like you would enjoy mini healer, not sure if you tried it already!
Wish this was being made into a full game
Interesting how this is your most viewed video! Also despite it being very recent.
I should really try to play "Loop Hero" next time I had time.
I need to play that again as well. Awesome game!
Made in 72 hours????? MY GOD, you are brilliant.
This game was way fun! Really sucks that it's so short...
This should be on Steam!
Does anyone have a list of games like this on PC? I only know of one but it's on mobile, Evil hunter Tycoon.
i would be interested, too
I'm developing one for some time, when it will be ready to show I can drop a devlog
@@vovad5334 if you indeed do, upload some dev logs, it will also help with the marketing of your game.

The title must surely be a reference to Tristran Thorn from Stardust by Neil Gaiman??
Is this already available somewhere?
Magnificently well done for free game made in 72 hours, although it feels like nothing close to Diablo1 at all, i appreciate the fantastic work.
Cool game, I love that it's the town from the original Diablo game

The ''Diablo Immortals'' everyone wanted :P
Ah yes Tristram, Only slightly better vacation location than Racoon City.
I sat a while and watched. It's a cute little game, sort of a super simplified hybrid between Diablo I and Darkest Dungeon.
I hope this can be played on cellphones
love the concept
'Cacodemons' are a reference to the Doom-Series
Isnt this copyrighted? lol
Not on stram yet?
If Deckard walked this quick when Tristram was attacked he wouldnt have ended up in that cage

This is a great concept for a game. It can use some more content beyond this. I finished everything in 5 minutes.
I hope this gets a fully fledged game.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is just awesome!
That warrior who blocks 100% of the time, but still runs away with full hp after the second group of mobs, and leaves the squishes to solo the boss...
Knowing Diablo lore, we are helping Diablo by sending heroes to fight
This is not on Steam... Sadge.
I played diablo 1 and collected players ears... And everyone hacked
