TO ARMS! Survival RTS Conan Unconquered Is Now Out! CHALLENGING: “No game we have created has ever challenged the player’s skill to a higher level,” says Executive Producer Ted Morris at Petroglyph. May 29, 2019 15:59 UTC TO ARMS! Survival RTS Conan Unconquered is now out! What do you get if you put Conan the Barbarian into a gaming world inspired by the current wave of survival games, created by veterans of Command & Conquer? The answer: Conan Unconquered, now available on PC. OSLO, Norway – May 29th, 2019 – “Not all men seek rest and peace; some are born with the spirit of the storm in their blood”. Let their thirst henceforth be quenched, as publisher Funcom and the developers at Petroglyph announce that Conan Unconquered today released on PC. Conan Unconquered is a real-time strategy game that combines resource management, war strategy and pure savagery to create the ultimate RTS experience. DOWNLOAD THE BRAND-NEW LAUNCH TRAILER: Download from the FTP | Embed from YouTube Download key art and brand-new launch screenshots “No game we have created has ever challenged the player’s skill to a higher level,” warns Executive Producer Ted Morris at Petroglyph. Such a warning from the development team with games like Command & Conquer, Dune II and Star Wars: Empire at War on their resumé, should not be taken lightly. However, the gaming veterans promise a silver lining. At least the first few waves you face won’t be all that bad. Conan Unconquered takes you to the world created by fantasy author Robert E. Howard during the early 1930s, and the subsequent comics and cult classic movies from the 1980s. You are tasked with defending a city against the terrible legions of the cruel sorcerer Thugra Khotan, Conan’s nemesis in the short story Black Colossus (1933). You must manage your resources wisely, create dwellings and research facilities, and set up fortifications as best you can. You must direct your army to fend off every wave of attack, all the while using your hero to explore, gather resources, find invaluable artifacts and gain experience. The game can be played solo, in co-op multiplayer or you can compete against other players in challenge mode. In co-op mode players will share resources and most of the buildings and fortifications, but they will face tougher foes than they would have in a single-player game. The challenge comes in trying to coordinate between one another. The map and attacking waves are generated at random every time, but in challenge mode you get to challenge your friends to beat you on the exact same map and with the exact same enemies as you just faced. Each challenge even comes with its own leaderboard. The game is currently available for $ 29.99 (pricing may differ across territories) on https://buy.conanunconquered.com/ and on Steam. When the savages attack, will you remember who you truly are? Will you remember what you fight for? Will you … remain unconquered?

  • Official Grey Goo Starter Guide
    Official Grey Goo Starter Guide Content created by Greybox/Petroglyph Games and posted by Berek Grey Goo Overview Grey Goo features a 15-mission single-player campaign revolving around three factions - the industrial Beta, the technologically advanced Humans, and the volatile Goo. This real-time strategy (RTS) game was developed by Petroglyph, a company with deep RTS gaming roots; veterans at the studio originally hail from Westwood Studios, the folks responsible for creating the iconic Command & Conquer series. The company designed Grey Goo using their proprietary GlyphX engine and the game includes full-CGI cutscenes between missions to give an even greater depth of story. The team worked with Weta Workshop on the art in the game. Grey Goo is focused on a larger, more strategic scale of gameplay. The game supports up to 200 units on the field per player, and unit speeds are a bit slower relative to StarCraft, making scouting and planning ahead even more important. Grey Goo’s deep tech upgrade trees are designed to unlock diverse gameplay options for units and structures rather than simple stat increases. In addition to the single player campaign, the game features Skirmish and multiplayer modes with up to four players; you can challenge other players or take on a variety of different AI, with varying difficulty levels, in a variety of multiplayer maps. Factions – more detailed unit information can be found by clicking here Humans - Very good at turtling (focusing on base defenses), with solid core base design and fortifications, but they sacrifice some mobility and map control to do so.

  • Macromanagement in RTS Games 61 Pages 4 Pages of Appendices Commissioned By
    Georgios Riskas MACROMANAGEMENT IN RTS GAMES Emphasizing strategy over tactics Bachelor’s thesis Degree programme in Game Design 2017 Author Degree Time Georgios Riskas Degree Programme April 2017 in Design Title Macromanagement in RTS Games 61 pages 4 pages of appendices Commissioned by Playraven Oy, Xamk South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences Supervisor Kaitlyn Kincaid, Lead Game Designer Marko Siitonen, Lecturer Abstract Strategy games have been introduced to the public in many different forms and video game is no exception. Real-time strategy (RTS) has been amongst the most popular strategy subgenres. It has gone through many changes and has both borrowed and lent gameplay elements from and to other genres throughout time. The most common criticism of modern RTS games is that they lack the strategic depth (macromanagement) and rather emphasize in the tactics (micromanagement). While the mentioned criticism is a generalization, it contains - depending on the game - a smaller or bigger fraction of truth. Strategy is arguably present but is many times overshadowed by the demanding tactics. The purpose of the present thesis was to examine if RTS games could be designed in a way that encourages strategic thinking without relying on heavy micromanagement on the battlefield. The study was qualitative and the main methods that were used were formal gameplay analysis and comparative analysis. Four of the bestselling RTS games of all time were put under the scope of the research to detect traceable design patterns that can answer the research question. The games were Command & Conquer, Starcraft, Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings and Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War.

  • NEW VIDEO – Developers Explain Why Conan Unconquered's Co-Op
    Coming to PC on May 30th: Created by the Command & Conquer-veterans at Petroglyph and published by the Norwegian game developer Funcom, Conan Unconquered promises to be an action-packed strategy game. May 21, 2019 11:59 UTC NEW VIDEO – Developers explain why Conan Unconquered’s co-op mode will have you hooked The Command & Conquer-veterans from Petroglyph faced a new challenge when tailoring Conan Unconquered to suit perfectly for co-op. OSLO, Norway – May 21th, 2019 – With only a few more days to go until launch, Petroglyph and Funcom have now released a new video, featuring interviews with Command & Conquer-veterans on the production team and a further glimpse into the co-op aspect of Conan Unconquered. DOWNLOAD THE NEW VIDEO HERE: Download from the FTP |Embed from YouTube Download key art and screenshots from the Funcom FTP While most comparable RTS games are purely single-player games or 1v1, the development team behind Conan Unconquered were faced with a new challenge; namely producing a game that works equally well in co-op mode. “We’re trying to make it as cooperative an experience as possible,” explains Executive Producer Ted Morris, who in addition to working on Command & Conquer can boast of having been the Development Director on the critically acclaimed RTS Star Wars: Empire at War. In co-op mode each player will have their own hero and army, but they will share resources and most of the buildings. “Where the challenge comes in, is in trying to coordinate between the two of you, in order to fight more difficult mobs,” says Senior Game Designer Patrick Pannullo, adding that it is not simply going to be about double the number of enemies.
