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!

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.
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.
ALT Promo image for Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye. Shows a character in a space suit holding a lantern in a swampy environment.
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.
ALT Screenshot from Subnautica: Below Zero. An undersea vehicle shines lights on some colorful lobster-like alien creatures. Tall thermal vents spires are in the background.
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…
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!
It's been a long time coming, but Psychonauts 2 has officially gone GOLD.
Enjoy the adventure on August 25th on @Xbox and play it Day One with @xboxgamepass!
Pre-order here: xbox.com/en-US/games/psychon… ... and then pre-install immediately too!
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.
