In this blog post, I would like to<br \/>\ngive you a glimpse into how we\u2019ve gone about converting this extraordinary world<br \/>\ninto a game.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/ccc2.jpg?w=940\" alt=\"Conan Chop Chop\" class=\"wp-image-130667\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Building a Fun Combat<br \/>\nSystem<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hitting<br \/>\nstuff is fun! At its core, that\u2019s what <em>Conan<br \/>\nChop Chop<\/em> is all about. When we\u2019re playing a game that is all about hitting stuff, we want the<br \/>\nsecond to second combat to feel snappy, responsive, and satisfying. We know you<br \/>\ndo too, so this was our goal. We want players to feel challenged,<br \/>\nexcited, frustrated (at times), and rewarded.<\/p>\n<p>We want you to step in for the first time and \u201cget it,\u201d but<br \/>\nwe want you to master the weapons, the enemies, the bosses and the world\u2019s<br \/>\nsecrets over time. Kind of like the famous Othello slogan \u201cA minute to learn\u2026 a<br \/>\nlifetime to master.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/ccc3.jpg?w=940\" alt=\"Conan Chop Chop\" class=\"wp-image-130668\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Building a Revisitable<br \/>\nWorld<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Simple, fun, and rewarding combat is what we are looking to<br \/>\nbring to players, but the game goes deeper than that. Every playthrough is<br \/>\ndifferent, with unique combinations of weapons, armor and charms (think<br \/>\npowerups) that will help you slash your way through the procedurally generated<br \/>\nworld. The first time you find the giant Bastard Sword, or the first time you<br \/>\nequip the Flaming Weapon charm, we want those moments to mean something.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/news.xbox.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/12\/ccc4.jpg?w=940\" alt=\"Conan Chop Chop\" class=\"wp-image-130669\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong>Bring Some Friends!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is nothing quite like sitting down on the couch with<br \/>\nfriends, four controllers at the ready, and having a new world ready to explore<br \/>\ntogether.
