ABOUT THE ENEMY
Panic Attacks are savage, lightning-fast mental figures that serve as mid-bosses in Psychonauts 2. They come from stress and overstimulation, and they first appear in PSI King’s Sensorium. They teleport around, which makes them hard to hit, and one of their attacks splits them into five copies, with only one of them real. The best way to fight them is to slow them down with Time Bubble.
MY PROCESS
This enemy started out as Nightmare, with a very different design. Later on we changed the model, and Tim decided to rename it Panic Attack, a name that matched much better what the enemy was used for in the game.
Like most enemies, this model has a slightly different treatment from the in-game one, but its textures were created based on the PSI King level.
In the end, working with our VFX artist Tazio, we ended up using a very dark version of it. I created the maps for the emissive and the outlined colors.
