The Road to Diablo III

Gamasutra has nice article about how Diablo III comes to life.
To get a sense of how that design process works -- and when the team knows it's actually done -- Gamasutra sat down with two Diablo development leads: lead technical artist Julian Love, a Blizzard North veteran, and lead content designer Kevin Martens, who spent nearly a decade at BioWare before coming to Blizzard.

All Character Skill Trees

All known characters' skill trees are presented here.

The trees shown at this year’s Blizzcon had considerably fewer skills listed than the Barbarian and Wizard trees did last year. All the trees this year had around 30-36 skills, while the Barbarian and Wizard had over 50 last year. Some of the missing skills became redundant when the tree design changed from 3 separate trees to one big 3-part tree, but it’s also likely that additional skills are in the game, but aren’t being shown to us yet. We do not believe this is anything near the fully final game skill listing.

- The unveiling of the Monk came as a pleasant surprise at this year's Blizzcon, as – hell – he's just a cool character class, complete with stylish looks, speedy combat and a compelling combo system. Plus, the Monk offers up a completely different style of melee play to the Barbarian. We've spent a solid couple of hours mucking around with the Monk, and these are ten of the things we learned...
