Our Drunken Robot Pornography prototype has taken the clean-room approach, with simplistic palettes (visible in the abundance of whites). That grey and red hovering titan is the first-generation glossy plastic variety Titan, with drilling tentacles of metallic penetration and titillation (living up to Drunken Robot Pornography's namesake). Along with funky new, mutli-functional appendages, we're hoping to experiment and showcase that Titans are more than a collection of simple shapes.
Our own Elliot Borenstein recently visited Worchester Polytechnic Institute to gather some feedback on DRP's design, including art choices and gameplay. There were more people who didn't do the survey for whatever reason (*cough* former Dejobaaner Ryan *cough*), but Elliot estimates 35 students took part. Elliot says, "It went smashingly. Every computer was taken, and extra people were crowding around to watch and discuss. By the time we got to the contest at the end, some people were getting kind of competitive."
Elliot continues, "The folks all seemed to agree that the movement, while fun, could be tightened up a bit. In this video, the jetpack can now stop premature death 74.2% of the time, and it allows players to do more fighting from high in the sky without needing to land." With constantly refined art and gameplay direction, DRP seems to be headed somewhere and fast. Fingers crossed we get DRP sexy enough for PAX East edification!
