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.

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! doublefine.com/news/devin-ta…

I don't think I'm going to play any more new video games in 2021, so seems like a good time to mention a few that I really enjoyed. Threaded alphabetically, but ignoring the first letter, because why not.

Exo One (Exbleative). Pilot an alien craft through a bunch of pretty alien worlds. Really enjoyed the movement controls.
Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye (Mobius Digital). Expansion to Outer Wilds. Scary expansion to the original game. Won't really say much since, like the original, it's better the less you know going in.

Subnautica: Below Zero (Unknown Worlds). A great sequel to a great game. I finally got around to playing Subnautica this year and immediately had to play BZ. Fantastic world and story to discover. Tons of fun (and scary) exploration. Cool music.
Kid A Mnesia. Not exactly a game, but that's not important. Fantastic visuals gave me a new way to experience some music that I really enjoy.

Unpacking (Witch Beam). Such a unique storytelling mechanic. Adorable, nostalgia-inducing art. Satisfying sounds.

ALT Animated gif of Unpacking gameplay. A moving box is on the floor. Cursor clicks to open it. Then clicks to grab a bunch of random items out of the box. Once all items are placed out of frame, the cursor clicks the box again to break it down and poof it out of existence.

Only 2 days left on this KS game from @valens116 full of great characters and adventure. There are a ton of reasons you should consider backing it, but I'll just point out the adorable dog who can help you out in combat with actions like Nom and Bork Bork! kickstarter.com/projects/ren…
I'm incredibly proud of what we created over the last 5ish years! So excited that everyone can finally play it!

It’s time, agents! Psychonauts 2 is now available worldwide. We pushed a button and made it happen. (Or did we? Does it work like that?) We hope you’ll have a fantastic time with Raz’s newest adventure. Be curious and explore everywhere! There’s plenty to do and see!

Did somebody say GOLD?! So proud of this incredible team!

fun intensifies

ALT Big cylinder smashes purple ground. Shockwave radiates out discoloring and wiggling the world and character.

hmmm... what if boxes?

ALT Two cylinders smash ground. Waves radiate outward. Interference patterns are visible. A bunch of small boxes get pushed by the waves. Small boxes colliding create small waves of their own.
