"John has had this amazing experience with Hearthstone," Hecker said. The latter is inspired, he said, by Blizzard's competitive card game, Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. While SpyParty is primarily a two-player game between one Sniper and one Spy, Hecker said he also has plans to add Spy teams and a single-player mode. Eventually, he said he has grander plans to improve spectator views for streaming and tournament purposes, including the option to let viewers make bets on players. Spectating is something Hecker is working on now, though, initially, he said he's "hacking a crappy version to get it going" in time for an upcoming tournament. Hecker talked about some of his other plans for SpyParty for this year and beyond, including bringing the game to Steam Early Access, adding a single-player component and working on features that will improve spectating for tournaments. As with most things SpyParty related, it's slow going. Will the Sniper allow them both, then highlight or lowlight one to tell them apart? Will the Spy use them as a diversion, or pick to be one of them? So much stuff to play with here!"Ĭimino is just starting to animate the new characters, Hecker said, so they won't appear in SpyParty for a while. "I'll be very interested to see how the twins are treated in that environment. When talking about the twins, Hecker said he's thinking about adding a pick/ban phase prior to games of SpyParty, similar to team selection in games like Dota 2.
Their jewelry - earring, tie clip, ring - will be slightly different, which could lead to the spy player having a slight advantage.
There are some subtle differences between the twins' appearance. "It'll be an interesting/weird part of the game when they're both in there," Hecker said, which will "lead to some wacky hijinks, but still be skill-based." But the idea is that both twins, who are referred to by the gender-neutral title Dr., could be invited to a round of SpyParty or only one could. The doctors are identical twins, and Hecker said he isn't sure yet how they'll affect gameplay.
