Game Maker Rift - Hey All

Just wanted to make a post. I finished a nephalem rift on my demon hunter and continued grinding. I got to another level after killing the guardian and much to my surprise started killing spirit skels, ghosts, and zombs in the large graveyard all having real names with titles such as Senior Analyst II, Game Designer, Quality Assurance II, Producer, etc.

I am assuming this level had the makers in it.

One thing I saw one of the names as Ken Williams, Senior something all other.

I was wondering if it was the Ken Williams from the old Sierra days.

I bought a lot of Ken and Roberta’s company Sierra game software back in the old days. Now my age is showing.

Good times. Good games. (I remember my name being on a gravestone in the game, ‘The Colonel’s Bequest’. Weird)

I do remember seeing Ken Williams in the credits of the original Diablo after end game. The Diablo expansion ‘Hellfire’ was contracted through Sierra if I remember correctly.

If anyone sees Ken Williams and it is the same one still working on Diablo. Tell him I say ‘Hi’.

All readers please feel free to post concerning any of this. Maybe your age will show as well.

Take care all. Thanks for the game. Neat level.

If you are referring to the regular rift that is the act 5 cemetery 2nd floor, I’ve seen that a few times. Only the floor is full of summoned soldiers and archers each with people names.
It was hard to read all the names cause they were dying so fast.:slightly_smiling_face:
