ABOUT THE ENEMY
Enablers are small, quick, gremlin-like enemies in Psychonauts 2’s mental worlds. Dressed in an upbeat, cheerleader-and-marching-band-style uniform and carrying a twirling drum major’s stick, they support other enemies, such as Censors, by giving them a protective shield that makes them immune to damage. They keep their distance and dodge PSI-Blasts often. If Raz gets close, they pull out an air horn to damage and knock him back. Pyrokinesis is one of the best ways to deal with them, because it makes them panic and stops them from shielding allies.
MY PROCESS
Enabler started out as Big Fan, and it looked like a completely different character. That version was already fully modeled, textured and animated, and our enemy animators had a full animation on it. Then Tim came forward and said he didn’t like the design and wanted a complete redo.
So we went back to the initial design, and this time Scott Campbell redesigned him. I made the new model completely from scratch. After that, the name Enabler matched much better to its personality.
