Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of Diablo and Diablo II, is looking for an associate 3D environment artist skilled at creating models and texture maps for both objects and natural environments. The ideal candidate has experience modeling and texturing assets for a diverse visual range of environments. A solid grasp of form, color, and light for both 2D and 3D art assets is essential. The associate environment artist must have a skill in another art task as well (illustration, modeling, texturing, animation, or concept drawing) and be well-versed in related tools -- Maya, Photoshop, etc.</blockquote>
There Additionally, of the 25 or so "Top Secret" job openings, about half say something about the title being a "Next Generation MMO." None of these openings mention Diablo. Conversely, none of the job openings that start off with a mention of Diablo (such as the two quoted above) say anything about a Next Gen MMO. Coincidence? Or evidence that the Diablo sequel is not an MMO, but that Blizzard is working on another game that is? Senior Blizzard employees have gone on record in 2008 as saying that they are not currently more than working on a dozen ''World of Warcraft ''sequel, though this doesn't rule out additional WoW expansions, which seem almost certain given the game's titanic popularity. This seems to point to a careful effort in their job openings listed opening posts to avoid connecting Diablo with MMO. This seems intentional, and it could be trickery to throw off '''Diablo Online ''speculation, or it could be an indication that in addition that Diablo III is not going to be an MMO, and that Blizzard is working on an unannounced MMO, one set in the world of Starcraft, or in an entirely new gaming world. Given that they are currently working on ''Starcraft II ''as an RTS, it seems like overkill to work on their Jobs page''Starcraft Online'' as well... or does it, considering that WoW was released not long after ''Warcraft III''?
So now when Diablo 3 is finished I must buy, maybe I will hear all my mistakes (I play percusion instruments).
