FiringSquad: How would you describe the gameplay in Mythos?

Phil Shenk: Mythos started with the idea (obviously) that the core mechanics of Diablo are insanely fun, polished, and addictive. We all love that brand, having created it and all J That game is so much at the core of what we believe in as developers that it informs everything we do. That said, we wanted to take it a step further, much like we’re doing with Hellgate. We wanted to add more persistence to the world, to make it feel like a living, breathing place. We also wanted to just have fun, crank up the leaf-blower of crazy ideas, and see what comes spewing out. It’s a much “lighter” world, and that lends itself to trying weird things. We have tons of things planned, and lots more we’d like to try once we get the core game fleshed out. It’s a great project to experiment with, since it’s pretty easy to add new things.
