Last month I wrote about Raz’s jump in Psychonauts 2, this month I’m back with an article about how we used our Target Search system to select objects for Raz’s powers.

[Double Fine @DoubleFine]

Are you a PSI-Blast wiz? A TK wunderkind? You owe a lot to the work done on Raz's "Target Search" function.

Player Movement and Powers Feature Lead Devin Kelly-Sneed (@Snof) goes into the details of how the heck you design targeting in this dev blog!

@rwilson_design I’m hoping this means it’s covered in pollen, and not that a tree is laying on top of it

[Devin Kelly-Sneed @Snof]

@collect100coins Pretty sure that’s not a rock. Probably a bird of some sort. See the little wings?

[Devin Kelly-Sneed @Snof]

I’m not at GDC, but I am in SF. If anyone I know is in town and wants to catch up, DM me. Really miss seeing all of you!

[Devin Kelly-Sneed @Snof]

@witsuaru The trick is to simply redefine “early”
Now your plan can be a success!

@collect100coins Sometimes you make a thing wiggle in a pleasing way, and they like that!

@keescheese @vectorpoem Incidentally, "Ominous Opening" sounds like a good title for a book about Kirby.

@mightyrobot A week should be enough time. Sleep's probably not too important.

@goblinboss As a player, I tend watch the credits before playing a game, then set my expectations based on the size of the team per discipline. I'm still aware of the bugs, but I'm extremely forgiving if it's a complex game with only 1-2 programmers.

@stephenjmcmanus The sun in the top right is a nice touch.
