In SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide, out there now for Xbox Collection X|S, we needed to put a particular concentrate on the themes of duality. SpongeBob and Patrick are longtime BFFs, however strikingly reverse of their method 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, taking part in jokes, and annoying Squidward.
It’s a personality trope that we see all through the sequence by way of different character relationships like Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and Plankton and Karen. The sequence 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 singular alternative to take this recurring sequence theme and apply it to a much less explored dynamic between two sequence characters.
Once we got down to make Titans of the Tide, we had two robust SpongeBob video games to base our learnings on. Battle for Bikini Backside-Rehydrated stays a cult traditional, beloved by the SpongeBob group. Its gameplay is slightly slower, however the writing and story growth is excellent and all three fundamental characters – SpongeBob, Patrick, and Sandy are playable. With Cosmic Shake, we centered on the constancy of gameplay and needed to focus on this by way of specializing in SpongeBob as the primary character with Balloon Patrick by his facet 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 method to saving Bikini Backside varies with their skillset.
Whereas SpongeBob is an agile karate king, Patrick’s burly nature helps gamers to choose up and throw heavy objects, burrow, and use a grapple hook to deliver 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 combating and traversal talents mechanically comparable (although vastly completely different in animation type) so that oldsters and children alike can play massive 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 fundamental concern is his repute and debonair way of life, whereas the Flying Dutchman is a rowdy pirate who haunts the Seven Seas. Bringing these larger-than-life characters to our viewers will be difficult. We labored onerous to match the dialogue and character developments all through the sport to these of the sequence, 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 crammed it in with dialogue and story growth based mostly on the event of our key options in order that the result’s a clean expertise that appears like a pure extension to the sequence.
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 value 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 determine 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 comply with SpongeBob and Patrick of their journey to reconcile these two previous geezers.
We’ll depart the remaining so that you can discover and we sit up for seeing what your favourite moments are. SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide is on the market now for Xbox Collection X|S.
