- - - - About the game
        
        Persistence: Players have the chance to enter two bonuses, one is a carnival/target practice game, and the other is an actual showdown between the sheriffs and the bot.
        
        Bonus one -Target practice. This game happens when six matching symbols create a payline. This is a carnival style game and one of the easiest bonuses players can unlock. For every spin, a target will appear and scroll randomly across the screen until it lands on something and shoots. To make the game feel more fair, the player won't know what the sign will have. The sign shot will spin and slow down to reveal the final value. Then the rest of the signs will show and the game will start over.
        
        This is a seperate bonus that will automatically give3 bullets
        
        Potential rewards:
        
        Bonus two - showdown: When the clock hits twelve, three chimes will loudly sound (similar to hearing "Buffalo". A cutscene will play. There are a lot of alternatives depending on what you may win and how many bullets you have, but generally a protagonist will show off their guns, say something cool, and the game will wait on the player to shoot.
        
        If the player has less than 3 bullets, Then there will be a simple pattern spray. If the player has more than 6 bullets, then they will go off one by one This is the game where majors are more possible, which will be indicated if after the shooting one more cutscene plays, showing the couple doing something bizarre.
        
        The clock moves at random intervals for each spin
        
        The player will be encouraged to mash the button
        
        This will show the potential winnings you can have
        
        oh, maybe they csn be teased hroughout the mini games
        
        Pot mechanic: Players will collect bullets (the coins) into a jar, ammo slot, or revolver. The player will be able to collect 20 bullets at a time
    - - How can I keep the base game interesting
      - How can I still have that house advantage? I dont want people to feel discouraged just because i am letting the player have straight wins
  - - - Hold and spin + reveal: 3 spins that can be refilled every time you get a coin. At the start of a bonus game, you can earn Olympic currency that will stay as the slot spins. If you end up getting a full row, Medusa will turn it into a statue. Be the end, it will break to reveal an even greater prize
- - - - The artstyle is stunning
      - Conan is an appealing character
      - The game uses large screens to its advantage in the bonus round
      - I appreciate the game's respect for the Frank Frazetta
      - The wheel mechanic is actually kind of broken (in a bad way)
      - The "CONAN" voice line is a great imagination of the "BUFFALO" gimmick
    - - The theme and game mechanics are woven into each other
      - The conflict of the original story is brilliantly used
      - The wheel, unlike Conan, gives you some kind of reward regardless of what you win on that feels good
      - What slot game features hand animation?? How fantastic is that.
      - I really like the wolf's design
    - - The theme is extremely unique
      - The game mechanics are intertwined with the theme
      - Sound design is quite immersive
      - The art style is unique and cute to look at
      - You don't feel like you're gambling for money, you feel like you are helping someone keep business up
      - Obvious conflict
    - - The game is kind of one note, but I like how in control you are of your experience
        
        I feel like my choice to continue matters
    - - The game is customizable. You can choose your own zodiac sign to be featured on the reels
      - I love the horizontal expanding wheels
      - The music is so peaceful
      - Art design is brilliant, especially for the wilds and the wheel
      - The game has a fantastic theme that it sticks to in its bonus
    - - The bonus allows players to choose what direction they want, which may or may not introduce player volatility
      - The mechanics of the Jackpot are randomized, I think. For example, if you land on some values and get a hammer, every time you roll a hammer, the values are multiplied
        
        Watching the hammer, move the values up is a satisfying experience
      - Unfortunately, the theme is a little nonsensical in places, it wants to do a clown theme, but its also Asian, for some reason?
- - - - The voice over is super dumb, it interrupts me just trying to spin and enjoy the game. The lines themselves are unaspiring. Despite collecting evidence, I still don't feel like I'm working towards something
        
        You can't expect me to suddenly be interested in solving a mystery because there's just some hot woman there.
        
        I think if I were given a cutscene or something that would help me understand what was going on, I'd be more open
        
        I think ti would have been interesting if we had location changes
        
        The music makes me feel ike I'm playing resident evil, I just kind of feel like I'm on edge in a bad way
      - The artist is pretty to look at, though
- - - - Though, I still want to make sure my game has a strong enough intro so people are invested
  - - - I'm going for Ludis typology of game, which is structured, analyzed, an detailed. COnditions are clear.
      - When it comes to the structure, are the rules and logic clear? How interactive is my game? I think that's what I'm really scared about. I want my game to be more interactive.I want my player to feel invested
        
        How does the narratology fit with the ludology
        
        How can I better deliver clarity/feedback so players know if they are or are not successful
        
        How can I add additional weight to the choicesplayers make?
      - How can I use the visuals of the game to contribute to the themes of the game? Like, in cult of the lamb,the visuals force the player to continue. But what is theme of this game?
      - Meaningful play can be descriptive and evaluative. Descriptive meaning that the player performs and the system responds with an outcome. Evaluative play is when the action and the outcome are discernable and is integrated into the game as a whole
