5s Coenen concord is kind of a new genre
7s it's a survival RTS game it's not a
12s traditional realtime strategy game you
14s have a lot of spinning plates there is a
16s lot to worry about it's not just build
19s an army build a base going attack the
21s other guy you're defending up against
23s waves of enemy attackers and the waves
25s get progressively more difficult you
27s know you're Conan you're in front of
28s this Citadel that you're supposed to
29s defend they get more challenging they
31s get more deadly there's this clock
33s that's ticking and the drumbeats are
35s going in the background they're getting
36s gradually louder you know something
39s nasty is gonna have to play by yourself
41s or with a friend you're gonna try and
43s survive through so many waves to see how
45s long you can remain uncommon
49s a petroglyph we've kind of continued
55s along with our strategy game DNA and RTS
58s kind of game DNA I mean pretty much
61s anything fantasy and sci-fi is gonna get
63s people around here interested but Conan
65s is one of the top ones object and being
67s able to make the first you know strategy
69s based Conan game that was huge to us so
72s it's kind of a conquered you're not
74s really fighting against a base you're
75s fighting against the elements and over
78s oiling odds so depending on you how you
82s setup the game and the customization
84s you'll be pitted against you know a find
87s out a number of ways or even an infinite
88s amount of waves we've built in a lot
90s more simulation that we ever have in any
92s other game you're managing a lot more
94s resources so there's a lot of different
96s choices to make on which resources you
99s actually want to go out and and gather
101s and harvest to determine like what type
104s of things you want to build the worlds
107s are randomly generated as well so it's
110s not the same map that you play every
112s time it's a new experience every time
115s you really have to layer in a lot of the
117s strategy and challenge elements we're
120s trying to Concord that's kind of what
122s we're trying to do with the multiple
124s enemy types that have different
126s behaviors you have to deal with with
128s environmental effects such as disease
130s and sandstorms and fire all of those
133s things or the challenges the strategy
135s comes in you know what buildings you
137s build how you spend your resources what
140s unit you're using to combat the
141s challenges the other nice thing about
142s cut and conquer it is that you can not
144s only play solo play you can play
146s cooperatively as well with a friend or a
148s stranger you can match make and find a
150s stranger to play with the two players
151s can play together and play against
154s even worse waves than the solo version
157s they are much more powerful they'll come
160s from multiple directions at once very
162s early so it'll take all both of you
165s working together to survive one of the
167s most exciting things that players can
169s experience is the multiplayer aspect of
171s Kona an unconquered we thought that was
173s a great opportunity to give fans kind of
176s a different way to play a survival RTS
178s game it's just fun to kind of share the
180s challenge it is so much fun to share
181s that victory you know with somebody and
183s it's also nice too because one person
185s could manage one thing was somebody else
186s manages something else I think that the
188s main impetus for making this game was
192s our love for other experiments are going
195s on in the RTS genre right now I am a big
198s fan of frost punk we all fell in love
200s with their billions I want to make a
202s game that has some some of the elements
204s that that this has because it's really
207s fun to you know like build and survive
210s these are great games and they're great
212s examples of a survival strategic game
216s that that we thought me and that's
218s that's really good what else could we do
220s with that taking their billions means
223s stronghold and then putting it in that
225s mode Colossus storyline from Robert
228s Howard you know that's well known from
229s you know the old Conan comic books and
231s eBooks yeah it's very savage and brutal
234s just like I take Conan look like oh yeah
236s Conan what is best in life you see your
239s enemies driven before you and to play
242s the strategy that's right
