  • Divine Divinity & the Abyss Engine

    I hope this isn't considered off topic (it shouldn't be), but I am hoping someone here might have knowledge I'm lacking to answer this question and, depending on the answer, give attention to this engine for those who could do something with it. Abyss Engine is (as described on it's website) a game engine designed to run games similar to 2000's style ARPGs. It's currently being used for the OpenDiablo2 project (a source port for Diablo 2). I'm curious if it would be possible to used it to create a source port for the original DivDiv. I'm hoping that, if possible, it will attract attention of those who are skilled and motivated enough to complete a project like this. I love Divdiv, but it hates Windows 10.
  • hoping that in the future we can play diablo 2 port on psvita just like the 1st diablo game :)
