Age of Conan director sits down for two-part interview
Gaute Godager, the man behind the Age of Conan's loin-cloth, if you will, recently sat down for the second round of a massive two-part interview with RPGVault, to discuss some of the finer points of the game's development. This round of the interview focused on some more extraneous elements of the game's development, including their approach to marketing the game in the Asia and their justification for bumping the game's launch back into 2008. This comes on the heels of the first interview piece they published, which was focused on slightly more interesting elements like the combat and the siege system.
More than any other developer in recent memory, it seems like Funcom has been willing to talk to people, usually at extremely great length, about what makes their game stand out from the pack. Whether they're just providing a fan-service or trying to hedge doubts in the gaming community about their game remains to be seen. Personally, I'd rather see them talk about the game less and work on opening up the beta so more of us can decide for ourselves. Talk is cheap, as they say.
