Age of Conan Developer Profile Q&A

MMORPG.com has kicked up a new developer profile Q&A for Funcom’s Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, this time quizzing AI designer Haluk Diriker.

Q: How have things been progressing with Age of Conan? Have you enjoyed working on such a strong IP as Conan?

A: Yes, I do. Giving life (for lack of a better term) to Hyboria 80 years after it has been created is a lot of fun. You have lore to follow but you also have creative freedom. There are also expectations. When you have an IP as strong as Conan, you know that the expectations are going to match the IP in strength. We want to live up to the expectations and then some.

The progression has been immense compared to the last year. The game is really geared up towards external testing now and the differences between last year’s E3 version and the current version are staggering.
