Progress report from Hell

...as in I am working on the Hell levels for Hellion.
Yeah, this game mirrors Diablo a lot in terms of progression. First you start in the ancient temple, then move on to the catacombs, then the caverns and finally Hell itself. Anywho, I've just started mapping and creating monsters and mini-bosses for the first floor of Hell (floor 13). The concept of this floor is the 7 Deadly Sins. You have to complete them to progress to floor 14.
Floor 14 will be the last "real" floor in that there will be traps and monsters and a lot of area to explore. A key piece of the story will be revealed on this floor. Floor 15 will be short and will consist primarily of a major boss battle - the second last in the game. Floor 16 is the Dark Lord's personal chambers and is the location of the final battle. The plan is to have 2 possible endings.
After floor 14 I was considering making it so that the town becomes pretty much useless for the player. Its not as bad as it sounds as in a practical sense it becomes trivial and useless much sooner. The loot in the Pit is much more valuable. However, I probably have to keep the option of hirelings open, and probably the Inn and Temple (revives). I'll have to put some thought into this.
The game is in the pipeline! End of the year, for sure!

CloseI am sickly obsessed with diablo 2. So I obviously love D1 looking forward to this, Love what I have played so far.
i have no idea why, but that screenshot reminds me of neverwinter nights. like, crazy neverwinter nights deja vu going down over here.
btw, i love neverwinter nights. which means this = just so much more awesome.

Does the final boss still have that funky first form I picked out? =P
I thought it'd be a nice change to see that THREATENING ...thing.

I've essentially finished mapping Hell. It's all pretty cool.
Floor 13 is straightforward, with ladders to the 7 Sin Rooms (as seen in the screenshot above). This unlocks the way down to 14.
Floor 14 is catacomb-esque, with a lot of winding passages.
Floor 15 is a large circular hallway with a variety of rooms branching off. It has a good amount of variety and is basically the last hurrah before the final battle.
Floor 16 is the Final Battle. There are 4 chambers that must be unlocked in succession before the Dark Lord can be accessed. Ooooh, original.

Eventing for floor 13 is nearly done. This might make it out the door by December.
Anyone interested in beta testing v0.9?
