" Hearthstone " development team shared their ideas for designing this year's Halloween event. The experience of designer Pat Nagle gave them inspiration for design.
"Heartstone" Halloween event is underway, and the designers of the development team also shared their ideas and inspiration when designing this special Halloween event this year. Let’s take a look at what the designer’s inspiration is.
Pat Nagle in the development team has been running a haunted house with his friends since high school and has been working on it for more than ten years. The addition of more scary and horror elements to the haunted house every year makes Nagle enjoy it, and this may be the inspiration for the headless Knight and Halloween events in World of Warcraft later. Nagle and Dave Maldonado of the Warcraft team designed contents such as encountering the headless knight, attacking the town, etc. “I was impressed by Dave that the headless knight could only speak in rhyme,” Nagle said. “I will remember these rhymes even in ten years.”
’s idea of adding this spirit to the game excited designers, who thought Halloween shouldn’t be limited to scare. Let yourself become these monsters, become a member of this story, become a favorite decision by designers, and it also becomes the inspiration for the "monsters coming".
, the expansion package "Witch Forest" released earlier this year, has a lot of Halloween-related content. The designers think it's a good choice to put these contents on Halloween, so they created this year's "Monsters Arrival" to let players manipulate these wandering monsters to fight. Moreover, if this fight is loved by players this year, they may turn the content of the "Kowloon and Dungeon" expansion into a similar fight in the future.
