BlizzCast8《 暗黑破坏神3》专访

Bashiok: Very cool, and Mike Nicholson who is a new face and voice to those following Diablo III, what do you do on the team?

很酷。Mike Nicholson对暗黑3的追随者来说是一个新面孔，你在团队里司何职？

Mike: Im a Senior Artist and I’m in charge of all the interface. Also known as "The UI Guy".

我是负责所有界面设计的高级美工，也就是“界面小子”。

Bashiok: So Mike, actually I wanted to touch on something you did in the past. I was at your office a few weeks ago and found out you were Lead Designer and Lead Art on a game which was near and dear to me which was called Sanitarium. Without going into it too much, that was a point and click adventure game, so how did you get from that to working here at Blizzard?

好的Mike，事实上我想要了解一下过去你所完成的任务。几周前当我在你的办公室时，我发现你是一个我很喜欢的游戏的首席设计师和首席艺术家。那个游戏叫做疯人院。关于这个不研究太多，这是一个点击式冒险游戏（Point and Click Adventure Game）。那么，你现在在暴雪工作的时候从原来的游戏中得到了哪些经验呢？

Mike: Well, I’m glad you liked it, I’m proud of that game. Well the thing was when we did Sanitarium unfortunately even though it was well received, everyone who played it liked it, not that many people played it. Well eventually they did. We kind of got there as the party was going out...

额，我很高兴你喜欢这个游戏，我也为它骄傲。我们在疯人院这个游戏所做的就是让游戏大受欢迎，每个玩过的人都喜欢，但是玩的人却不多。当然最后他们做到了。我们的队伍解散了，因而我们困惑了……

Bashiok: For point and click adventures...

点击式冒险游戏……

Mike: So, you know you kind of take a look around and go well I guess I need to get back into art. Came out to California and started doing 3D environments and kind of worked all the way back up to interface, where I’m back to doing 2D art again.

额，你对我做了一番了解，那么下面我猜我应该回到艺术这个话题了。来到加州开始3D环境工作然后将他们全部回归到界面上，我又开始2D美术工作了。

Bashiok: Julian back to you, one of the major effects systems is the death system which kind of goes over how monsters die. Which is one of the cooler parts of the game, and we’ve seen a little bit of that before at WWI and BlizzCon, but what is the system and can you explain it to those listening and what does it do in the game?

再回到你Julian。死亡系统是一个主要的特效系统，它演示了怪物是如何死亡的。这是游戏中一个很酷的部分。我们在WWI和BlizzCon上已经小有了解，但是这具体是个什么系统？你能向听众们解释一下它在游戏中的作用吗？
