The attack misses, however, due to imprecisions in the targeting mechanism. The first shot always misses its mark on purpose.Īt the beginning of the fight, the JAGUAR fires off a shell in an arc aimed at the X-Morph core, over the city rooftops. The Boss’ signature attack sequence is introduced through a cinematic cutscene.

The rest of the urban area was also designed to make the most of the tank’s ability set. Also, there are enough cars on the tank’s way to make sure there are plenty of explosions and debris decorating the players’ screens. Since the boss model is huge we had to give it plenty of room to drive around and crush the surroundings. Luckily, the tank’s design was so elastic, that designing a new map around it was enough to make it all work. When the redesign hit our project, we wanted to save as much content as possible. the game became a tower defense/shooter hybrid, as opposed to a classic shoot’em up. Over the 5-year development of X-Morph: Defense we had one major redesign. The Jaguar tank spawns multiple automated drones that prevent the player from mindlessly shooting at its hull.

This deadly race was the only thing that mattered, and the prize was survival.Įarly prototype scrolling shooter gameplay, circa 2010-2011. The tank crew wouldn’t care about either the cars they’re crushing or the bridges they’re destroying. You would chase down the tank over a busy highway at breakneck speed (as far as tank speeds go, at least). The concept for this boss fight sequence started in the early days, back when X-Morph: Defense was still a shoot’em up. If we were to use only two words to describe the tank, the phrase would be ‘collateral damage’. In fact, the mayhem caused upon the city by this behemoth is one of the biggest you will encounter in the entire game. The JAGUAR tank you will read about today seems relatively harmless compared to the previous entries on our list, but there is nothing harmless about it. In this series, we have already covered the Tarantula MK V, the Scorpion, and the Bomber. It’s time to present to you another boss design from X-Morph: Defense.
