Don't forget the addition of Multiplayer, and integration with Battle.net. Cheating was rampant in D1, in any case. The pitch doc also talks about ever popular roguelike trope of perma-death, it's a heavy pill to swallow for a com

Interesting how Nintendo went with that IR setup for their analog joystick when everyone else (MS and Sony to 3rd party controller manufacturers) went with two potentiometers. Maybe Nintendo's famous insularity is showing in their hard

By going to VS Code they're jettisoning themselves from the .sln (solution file), .csproj (C# project file), MS Build world. Project management and build files are being pushed into external utilities. This is kind of the way a lot of

It's being auto updated on a monthly cadence - not too different from Chrome. Some releases are big, some are small. I wouldn't write off a project that has a team that's set up to do that.
