Blizzard North

Diablo 2 & Diablo 2 Expansion - 2000 & 2001

When I joined Blizzard North it was already in progress on the sequel to the hit game Diablo. Act 1 was in a rough state and Act 2 was just getting started. When I arrived I spent most of my time the first year learning 3DS Max and making scores of little game objects, then moving on to making tile variations, and finally full blown tilesets.

Tilesets (while 95% of the work seen here is done by me, we would occasionally share assets so there are some elements by Dave Glenn, Ben Boos, Phil Shenk, and Blizzard Cinematics):
