Original Diablo Pitch Document Released

After giving an extensive speech on the development of the original Diablo at this year’s GDC, David Brevik has published the original pitch document for the 1996 action-RPG classic on his own personal blog. The document was published in .pdf format, so it should be easily readable for the vast majority of people who can access this website in the first place.

As Brevik notes on Twitter, the document that was actually pitched to Blizzard was slightly longer and different, but this is pretty much as good as it gets for us when it comes to understanding what the original Diablo developers set out to do. Given we’re talking about what can arguably be called the most influential action-RPG in the history of gaming (I can see the case for Diablo II, but that’s a sequel, and I generally prefer to give the nod to the original titles), that’s nothing to scoff at.
