Ep 144: Keith's Revenge

Keith Elwin discusses the development and reveal of two new modes for Jaws: "Jaws the Revenge," an 8-bit arcade-style mode inspired by classic Nintendo games, and "The Shark is Broken," a topper-exclusive challenge mode about filming mishaps on the Jaws movie set. Elwin explains the design philosophy behind simplifying gameplay for shorter play sessions, the technical challenges of building the 8-bit mode, and details the complex "Revenge" mode where players control a shark attacking swimmers and battling bounty hunters to build a $10,000 bounty that will eventually spawn Quint as a boss fight.
