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.
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 ❤❤❤❤❤
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.
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.
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
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.
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).
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
This is actually sick af. This needs to be a full game, even if it's not a diablo/tristram theme. If it was just Bob's village of idiots. This is amazing and NEEDS to be a full game. Just add a couple more QOL, some additional housing/base upgrades it would sell so well on steam @ $5 - $10
Me: "wow, this is a neat indie little title, it's either made by a passionate dev or a handful of people. Must have taken a while to get to this point. How have I never heard of this?" Cub: "oh btw this was made in 72 hours by a handful of people" Wot
Dude, this was sooooooo my game idea, but I made something else instead =/ In mine you had more ''agendas'' though, like maybe you were SUPPOSED to get certain characters killed when you send them to a dungeon, and also some characters had personality types you had to match too, not just class types.
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.

@@sachavykos3206also they cant sur if the game is free, that's how it currently fine
@@sachavykos3206😂😂 so true
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!

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
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.
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
72 hours for this ? wow . incredible. it looks sooo good.
The healer Ehol and the archer Jaerika were the mvp in this gameplay
I get goosebumps when I hear that music with Deckard's voice...
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!
The winged demon in white in the opening might be a reference to Albedo from Overlord. Certainly looks like her (for a grainy sprite).
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.
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
Played this and really enjoyed it. Just wish it was longer!

There is so much potential to this game, really hope to game jam team would come together and finish this game.
I would love this a full game as well. But even as short game it's great!
Plays like a simple version of 'Majesty 2, A fantasy kingdom Sim' in a good way. Amazed this was done in 72 hours.
This is nothing like majesty 😢
This looks pretty good. Fun concept to, would love to play a more fleshed out version of this
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.
Amazing little Game. Doesnt take more like maybe 45 minutes to finish, but it was fun. Would love to see more of 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.
Keky's death really got to you, didn't it? lol Great video! And the game!? 72 hours? Amazing!
Downloaded & played it - totally worth the time for a free time
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.
Such a great spin-off and trowback. Awesome idea
The Fallout Shelter type game that Blizzard missed out on.
Because they are creatively and morally bankrupt.

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
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.
Worldbox + Diablo = Incredible Game!

This should be on Steam!
This reminds me of Majesty. I want to try it!
This game was way fun! Really sucks that it's so short...
The ''Diablo Immortals'' everyone wanted :P
Isnt multiple "staffs" written "staves"?
wish this could get fleshed out some more and more features and more stuff :D
I sat a while and watched. It's a cute little game, sort of a super simplified hybrid between Diablo I and Darkest Dungeon.
Cool game, I love that it's the town from the original Diablo game
Awesome looking game. Thanks for sharing!
Looks great, wish there is more
More chill version of darkest dungeon? idk.
Intriguing game to chill to.
this is blizzard ip tho won't there be legal complications with this game?
Great idea, but they need to change the name to avoid any potential conflict with acti-blizzard
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.
“There is no cow level! “
This is a great concept for a game. It can use some more content beyond this. I finished everything in 5 minutes.
Made in 72 hours????? MY GOD, you are brilliant.
Going to try it, sure I will
Wish this was being made into a full game
A game jam project wtffff. It looks so cool
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.
@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.

I played Diablo back in the day.
This game looks really cool
The intro musical snip. #Memories
'Cacodemons' are a reference to the Doom-Series
I loved my first playthrouh ❤

No joke. this is way more intersting than Diablo 4
What is this type of game called? Because I love this and I want more of it!
Is there something similar, but more complete?
If they are smart, the big co will license this out and make it a cooperative effort
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
The title must surely be a reference to Tristran Thorn from Stardust by Neil Gaiman??
Interesting how this is your most viewed video! Also despite it being very recent.
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 great.. short and sweet
i feel like you would enjoy mini healer, not sure if you tried it already!

I like your german accent, thank you!
Looks more like what the heroes do above ground of Dungeon Keeper. 😁
Me: "wow, this is a neat indie little title, it's either made by a passionate dev or a handful of people. Must have taken a while to get to this point. How have I never heard of this?"
Cub: "oh btw this was made in 72 hours by a handful of people"
Wot
It's cool that they got Batman to be the narrator.
Knowing Diablo lore, we are helping Diablo by sending heroes to fight
I should really try to play "Loop Hero" next time I had time.
I need to play that again as well. Awesome game!
❤❤❤❤❤❤ This is just awesome!
What game engine did they use to make this? Is it GODOT or GAMEMAKER?
Hey, hast du 'ne Ahnung ob ich beide Ordner herunterladen muss um das Spiel zu spielen?
Much MUCH better than D4!
where can i download this game?
Gave it a shot last night... fun little game
If Deckard walked this quick when Tristram was attacked he wouldnt have ended up in that cage
Where can I find this game? :) the game is so cute :)
How has Blizzard not shut this down, lol?
HOW TF has blizz not jumped all over copyright striking this game?...
Is this already available somewhere?
Hmmm... I'm looking for kind of this play style, anyone susgest any game like this style?
They should add more act for it
Not on stram yet?
I played diablo 1 and collected players ears... And everyone hacked
Reminds me of Swang and Sorcery
I played like 5 hours after watching your video.
Cool idea for game , different angle on Diablo Xd

imagine not knowing what the cacodemon is...just by looking at it and then also the name....lord
This is amazing
