Torchlight II Development Update

Runic Games’ Travis Baldree is offering yet another “Not A Blog” development update on the Torchlight II official forums. This time we learn that the Act 2 polish is done, a few more of the changes that have been made and what’s still to be done before launch:

Act 2 polish is done – yay! Barring any multiplayer quest issues or balance problems that are exposed during testing, it’s in the can. I went through a round of fixes for multiplayer quest-related issues over the week and things are feeling pretty solid. Matt also put together some new sounds for some of the monsters and bosses. Slick! I went on to work on the player skill pass. I finished my pass through the Outlander and am about halfway done with the Engineer. I hope to be done with the Engineer by the end of the weekend.
Marsh has continued work on Act 3, and I hope to join him in about a week to help bring it home.

…

So, what’s coming up, and what remains to be done before launch?

Here’s my rough plan – next week, I’ll finish with the Embermage and Berserker skill passes. Once completed (guessing Friday), I’ll move over to start helping Marsh out on Act 3. In the following weeks we’ll wrap Act 3 together, partitioning duties, and then move on to split the last Act ( which is quite small) and finish up.
