In SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, obtainable now for Xbox Collection X|S, we needed to position a particular concentrate on the themes of duality. SpongeBob and Patrick are longtime BFFs, however strikingly reverse of their strategy to challenges. SpongeBob is the everlasting optimist, hardworking and curious, whereas Patrick is laid again, good natured and carefree. The 2 are united of their love for dwell, enjoying jokes, and annoying Squidward.
It’s a personality trope that we see all through the collection via different character relationships like Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and Plankton and Karen. The collection all the time focuses on interpersonal relationships and discovering unity in variations. This was an enormous inspiration for us as we approached the antagonists King Neptune and the Flying Dutchman, and we felt like this was a novel alternative to take this recurring collection theme and apply it to a much less explored dynamic between two collection characters.
Once we got down to make Titans of the Tide, we had two sturdy SpongeBob video games to base our learnings on. Battle for Bikini Backside-Rehydrated stays a cult basic, beloved by the SpongeBob neighborhood. Its gameplay is a bit slower, however the writing and story growth is excellent and all three foremost characters – SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy are playable. With Cosmic Shake, we centered on the constancy of gameplay and needed to spotlight this via specializing in SpongeBob as the primary character with Balloon Patrick by his aspect all through their adventures. In Titans, we additional refined gameplay by re-introducing Patrick as a playable character. You’ll be able to see the duality theme pop again up once more right here as SpongeBob and Patrick’s strategy to saving Bikini Backside varies with their skillset.
Whereas SpongeBob is an agile karate king, Patrick’s burly nature helps gamers to select up and throw heavy objects, burrow, and use a grapple hook to convey objects nearer to him. Switching between the 2 characters is seamless, which lends itself to epic mixtures and distinctive puzzling. We deliberately stored the fundamental preventing and traversal talents mechanically related (although vastly completely different in animation type) so that folks and youngsters alike can play giant swathes of the sport as their favorite character.
Let’s take a second to speak concerning the antagonists: King Neptune is a complicated aristocrat whose foremost concern is his fame and debonair life-style, whereas the Flying Dutchman is a rowdy pirate who haunts the Seven Seas. Bringing these larger-than-life characters to our viewers could be difficult. We labored laborious to match the dialogue and character developments all through the sport to these of the collection, in order that viewers and gamers have a seamless expertise all through the SpongeBob universe. As soon as our base for the characters was established, we prototyped the story define and stuffed it in with dialogue and story growth based mostly on the event of our key options in order that the result’s a easy expertise that appears like a pure extension to the collection.
In creating the story, we began with the premise that Mr. Krabs was having a 50% off low cost on the Krusty Krab. Pay half worth for, properly, half of a Krabby Patty. A legendary advertising and marketing transfer, courtesy of Eugene Krabs. The Flying Dutchman has been ready in line for hours when King Neptune storms in and jumps the road. The 2 iconic egos conflict and chaos is unleashed upon Bikini Backside. Half of the inhabitants is changed into ghosts, together with SpongeBob who’s caught within the crossfire. Fortunately Patrick and SpongeBob work out that they will commerce locations because the “ghost buddy” by holding their BFF rings collectively. Whereas King Neptune and the Flying Dutchman battle it out, you observe SpongeBob and Patrick of their journey to reconcile these two previous geezers.
We’ll depart the remaining so that you can discover and we stay up for seeing what your favourite moments are. SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is out there now for Xbox Collection X|S.
