Chance Glasco Talks About Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil, From Call Of Duty To Capybaras [EXCLUSIVE]

Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil is an upcoming simulation game where players will need to manage jiu-jitsu gyms in South America. The title comes from Good Dog Studios, an independent developer founded by several industry veterans, including Chance Glasco. Glasco previously co-founded Infinity Ward and created the original Call of Duty, afterward continuing to contribute to several follow-up entries in the massively popular franchise.

Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil begins with players taking over their uncle’s jiu-jitsu gym in a Brazilian favela, a Portuguese term for working-class neighborhoods. With a little help from their pet capybara Raphael, they’ll need to manage their equipment, schedule classes, tackle climate issues, and care for their clientele’s health as they grow in scope and expand into new areas. The game is inspired by other tycoon titles like Two Point Hospital, but with a martial arts twist, where players can also train their clients, enter them in tournaments, and challenge other gyms.

Screen Rant sat down with Creative Director Chance Glasco to discuss the simulation genre, his industry history, and translating his love for jiu-jitsu into Martial Arts Tycoon: Brazil.

Screen Rant: You have a long history with simulation games, not necessarily in releasing them but I know that when you were younger you played them a lot.

And you haven’t always worked on shooters, I know you used to code your own text based adventures.
