[Diablo] Nuevo Proyecto, ¿Que será?

[reMantiX]

Hola a todos:

Tras leer atentamente las ofertas de trabajo, nos econtramos con una serie de datos interesantes: 12 empleos directos para un proyecto desconocido de Diablo en la localidad de Irvine y 25 para proyecto no anunciado (donde incluyen a esos mismos 12) en la misma localidad. Todos ellos son para un proyecto no anunciado por lo que en este mini-análisis los trataré como si fueran para el mismo proyecto.

Tengo que recordaros que el Diablo 3 en su proyecto inicial iba a tener dos expasiones y está claro que eso no se llegó a complir. No podemos decir que el introducir al nigromante se entienda como una expansión. Más bien es una DLC por el contenido que tiene, un personaje nuevo.

Trabajos que se proponen DIABLO:

• Dungeon Artist, Diablo
• Environment Artist, Diablo
• Senior Dungeon Artist, Diablo
• Technical Artist, Diablo
• VFX Artist, Diablo
• Senior Software Engineer, Gameplay, Diablo
• Senior Software Engineer, Graphics, Diablo
• Software Engineer, Gameplay, Diablo
• Software Engineer, Graphics, Diablo
• Creative Director, Diablo
• Executive Producer, Diablo

Trabajos que se proponen Unannounced Project:

• Senior 3D Artist
• Senior Technical Artist
• Senior/Lead 3D Environment Artist
• Senior/Lead Animator
• Lead Software Engineer, Graphics/Engine
• Senior Client Engineer
• Senior Software Engineer, Artificial Intelligence
• Senior Software Engineer, Gameplay/Animation
• Senior Software Engineer, Graphics/Engine
• Senior Software Engineer, Server
• Senior Software Engineer, UI
• Software Engineer, Client
• Senior / Principal Game Designer
• Senior Game Producer

Para los trabajos podéis observar como son todos muy cercanos, tanto los que son para Diablo como para un projecto sin anunciar. También marcar en los trabajos de Diablo, que son puestos importantes para un proyecto entero, no para continuar uno. También uno de los trabajos más interesantes es el de "Executive Producer, Diablo" y los otros en los que me he fijado son los de Ingenieros de software para Gráficos ("Software Engineer, Graphics, Diablo"). Ambos los dejo aquí abajo para que no se pierdan.

El de productor ejecutivo es interesante ya que eso implica que estan buscando a alguien para que dirija la franquicia y que formará un equipo. También si observamos el de ingeniero de software veremos que es un plus la experiencia en programación de consolas.

Así que en los próximos meses veremos como lanzan el Diablo 3 para NINTENDO SWITCH que es la consola que falta por tener la franquicia. Aunque me da esperanzas ver que quieren un productor ejecutivo para llevar la franquicia y no solo el port a nintendo. Lo que sí, me sigue pareciendo triste los medios de comunicación social que no se molestan ni en leer las ofertas de trabajo para saber que no se trata de un Diablo 4.
