Chip 'n clawz vs. Brainioids is the upcoming RTS mixture and a third -person action, directed by the creator X-COM. Players will be able to take over the roles of the same name Chip 'n clawz Duo to fight an alien invasion.
From the creator X-COM, Chip 'n clawz It is the upcoming RTS game that allows players to control their army in the field and take control of the young inventor Chip and his robo-cocoa helper Clawz. This duo is playable either in cooperative or single-players, the task of fighting brain, extraterrestrial attackers who have stolen the brain crystals of the Earth. Rant sat with some members of the Snapshot Games team, including game director Julian Gollop and the game designer Nikola Petrov, who spoke more about playable characters of the game, including the unpredictable robot Cat Clawz.
Chip 'n Clawz: Clawz explained
Clawz's history and design history
Duo Chip and Clawz is on the surface similar to other iconic game duks such as Ratchet and Clank or banjo and kazooia. Both characters will be playable during the adventure of the game, in single player modes and cooperation. Chip and Clawz will be able to explore the levels of the game and fight directly with the brain armies, but in the RTS twist, the competing armies are also expected to fight brain hordes.
As far as Clawzu details are concerned, Petrov spoke more about how the character evolved. He discussed how Clawz's robotic aspects were mixed with its animal elements and prepared a way for strong design in the tradition of iconic duo in playing.
“It was an iteration process. For Clawz, we wanted it to look amazing and unpredictable, but also emphasized its robotic features – two things seem to contradict. She looked great from the very beginning, directly to the artistic letters, and then the animators managed to grace and play in her movements.
Passing character with restrictions on robotic bodies while maintaining cute and attractive, it is always an interesting challenge in design that faces characters like R2-D2 and Wall-E. Clawz, however, will also have the advantage of voice, adding Gollop: “You will be familiar with the chip and Clawz quite well, often revealed by their joking.”
Development history
One detail evident in the concept of art for Chip 'n clawz It is that Clawz was initially a dog in early design versions. Asked about this topic Petrov revealed that these dog proposals were “the remaining of the previous iteration of the game” AA Gollop added that “in the Nine team won the cat people over people.” Gollop's supplement suggests that this may be a simple aesthetic change, but there are definitely different connotations between the two animals. However, players will have to wait for the release of the game to reveal how Clawz's features are really reflected.
Another interesting detail, given how Clawz opens the game for cooperation, is how the title was originally bound to multiplayer. Petrov spoke of these many -player originities and how the game came to the solo/cooperative focus that it will have in its final incarnation:
“[T]The game was initially presented as a battle only for more players. At the beginning of the development, we also decided to develop a story campaign, and that quickly evolved into a cooperation design. Solo gameplay has always been a high priority and we made sure that the whole game can be played solo and the invitation of a friend creates various opportunities, strategies and entertaining games, but never necessary. Each story mission can be completed solo or cooperation, allowing our players nice flexibility. ”
