I actually worked on this for several months a few years ago. The project suffered from massive scope creep and overall disorganization. At one point, we could load the main menu and get in game, but then the project changed directions a few times and ultimately switched programming languages (from Go to C++ if memory serves) so most of that progress got wiped out. I didn't know the language they switched to, so me and one of the other main contributor stopped contributing and started working on our own thing off and on, but that got put on the back burner for me due to IRL circumstances.... I keep wanting to pick this stuff back up but real life has a way of repeatedly getting in the way.

Anyway, this was also all taking place before Diablo 2 Remastered was really a thing, so there was more motivation to work on this -- at least on my part -- back then. Now, not so much when I can already boot up Diablo 2 on my Switch.

Thanks. I had no idea D2 was on switch, and it's on sale for $13! [1]

That's the remake of Diablo 2, which Activision/Blizzard will never let you run offline.

It runs fine offline. You can’t run it offline AND multiplayer, however. They took LAN away with the remaster.

You have to login every 30 days which is pretty annoying when the game is at its core 20 years old and could be played entirely disconnected back then.

Oh. I stand corrected then. That’s terrible.
