Developer Notes: Caesar

Caesar is based on the 18th century pirate who became one of Blackbeard’s most trusted advisors, as well as a captain in his own right.

Unlike most other pirates, Caesar doesn’t focus on a single object and damage it until it’s destroyed. Instead, he continually roams around the base, shooting out fire sprites from his flamethrowers. These flames attack objects, multiplying as they burn before they die out. His special ability, ‘Ring of Fire’, sees Caesar take vertically to the air and perform a damaging attack to the objects surrounding him.



Caesar changed from his original concept - he originally had a mortar on his back, and attacked with his sword. However, we felt that this was too similar to Greenbeard, so his mortar became a jetpack/fuel tank and his sword became a flame thrower. His bulky design reflects his strength and power (that jetpack is heavy!)
