diablo clone

let's imagine we are trying to create a diabloish game. 2D RPG, hack 'n' slash.

the perspective would be the same, and game would be for PC, but i have a question:

is it possible with construct ? how many layers? how much vram/ram? how many people would be needed to replicate such a game in a short period (half year +) of time? (by replication i mean to copy most of the features, not whole 4 acts, just like 1 act maybe).

1. Yes

2. Thats not really pertinent. More that one? As many as you like.

3. See #2 with a dose of "what's your platform?".

4. Anywhere from 1 to 100. Depending of the quality. Even for AAA a well qualified person could do it.

How longs a piece of string?

Yes, it's perfectly doable in C2, and as many layers as you need and can keep track of. If you mean for mobile, we're done discussing things, but for PC/Mac/Linux, it would need a significant team depending on how in-depth you need it or how much variety you need. One person will not get it done at a satisfactory level of quality if they aren't already multi-talented and familiar with the software, game development, and code structure. You would need a team and some really good convincing skills.

I agree the game concept definitely could be achieve in Construct 2 though if gameplay were to be extended to multi-player it would be a little harder to create without a lot of extra work and know-how.
