How to Detect if Diablo III Nintendo Switch is Real?

Tools Engineer, Unannounced Project

We’re a close-knit group of developers looking for a dedicated tools engineer to explore new territory with us! We want someone who loves creating tools and supporting fellow team members on their epic journeys.

• Design and implement content tools for a mobile title

• Empathize with, support, and advocate for artists and designer workflows

• Create and support development team infrastructure

Requirements:

• Dedicated to creating tools that help designers and artists achieve their game vision

• Proficient at written and in-person interactions with technical and non-technical users

• Customer-oriented mindset with an eye for workflow and efficiency improvements

• Desire to grow and refine your experience in creating game development tools

• C# or Unity development experience

• Content or Data Management tools programming experience

Pluses:

• Passion for RPG games of all types

• Familiarity with game content creation pipelines, workflows, and tools
• Source control administration experience (eg: Git, Perforce)
• Build automation experience (eg: Jenkins)
• Wide variety of programming languages (eg: Python, C++, C#, Javascript)
• Desktop application development experience (eg: Unity, WinForms/WPF, Qt)
• Web & REST API development experience
• Database experience (eg: MySQL)

zZentail: It could be, but if this is true, Blizzard would be making a MASSIVE mistake. Not for making D3 on switch, but for using Unity for it. You know why? D3 wasn’t made in Unity. You know what that means? A lot of building the game from the ground up. Blizzard has been starting to make everything in Unity (albeit probably a heavily modified version). It’s not surprise that a future D3 game will be in Unity. It’s mostly expected at this point.

Also, I’m going to point out that D3 was made in C++ (job postings from before the game came out). Entirely in C++. Porting that to Unity, which is C#, would be a son of a fruit loop. The appeal for the game on Switch, if they did it that way, would not pay out at all. They would lose a massive amount of money for time spent on the project vs income that would come back. While it’s easy to code something in C# when you have the C++ code, there is very little you can actually just copy-paste. 99% needs literal rewriting.

NukezEx: I am working in game development. My company considered bringing one of our games to Switch so I had some time looking through internas. It is simply wrong that you require Unity to develop for Switch. I don’t say that D3 on Switch will or will not happen, just that Unity is no requirement for it.

Medievaldragon: Can Diablo III on C++ work seemlessly in Nintendo Switch (without Unity)?

NukezEx: Yes. C++ on Nintendo Switch is a thing. Much more realistic than switching to Unity.

BlinkHawk: This, to make a runnable game on the nintendo switch all you need is a compiler, and a binding lib to switch’s OS service calls.

“We can assure you we’re not that clever,” a spokesperson for Blizzard Entertainment said via email. “[It was] meant to be a fun community engagement piece. We have nothing to announce.”
