Newly-full-time Dejobaan team member Elliot is prototyping new mechanics which may be used both Drunken Robot Pornography as well as Ugly Baby.
Remember the concept of titans -- those big enemies we envisioned players could pick apart piece by piece? Well, Elliot did a great job on implementing titan combat in his latest prototyping sessions. The goal is to clearly to "shoot the core," and some long-time fans may notice Inago-style movement and jetpack riding that help get the job done.
The titan doesn't just sit there and take the punishment you dish out; its missiles shoot into the air before arcing down to rain over your parade. When you get too close, it peppers you with faster projectiles, rotating periodically so that you can't just sit there and hammer at one leg all day long. Tiny enemies them pop in to cover its retreat whenever it moves to another area.
The way the titan spins its tentacles looks pretty awesome. If you have an eagle eye, you may even spot some "sinusoidal bobbing between spins." That movement sounds like a mix between something for which you'd need math degree or a vaccination to handle, but we're just fine with you holding down the fire button.
It's too early to tell if these elements will make it in Ugly Baby or Druken Robot Pornography, but I don't think it's premature to say it's pretty damn cool.
