It’s also worth noting, Melody won’t inhale the boss pig and just win the level. Unlike the current birds hitting the tower and making it fall, Melody will bring those blocks along and continue flying, so it will take different strategic thinking. For example, for the portals, you may expect the falling blocks would go through the portal and hit the other towers. NC: The biggest challenge for Melody is that you need to see the level mechanics differently. Are there any disadvantages to using Melody? That sounds incredibly powerful and destructive. Melody is a musically-themed character capable of inhaling and shooting out piggy tower blocks. Melody would be the first bird that can pick those up and have the better use to take down the pig towers. The blocks lying on the ground are not useless anymore. Seeing how the player uses this ability to create an interesting trajectory is exciting for us as developers.
The second part allows the player to bypass lots of obstacles. The first part of the ability is guaranteed destruction it can quickly destroy the most difficult parts of the level. NC: In short, Melody can inhale the blocks and pigs automatically, at which point the player can trigger her ability to shoot out those as projectiles to destroy remaining pig towers. There are characters from other Angry Birds franchises that we would love to integrate as well, so hopefully that’s something we can explore in the future! Can you tell us about how Melody plays and what you consider to be the best ways to use her most effectively? The brand-new ability we’re creating for Melody is unlike any existing bird in other Angry Birds franchises, and will spice up the competition and offer more diverse gameplay.
We felt like the new feature lends itself to experimenting with new characters and abilities, and so this was the perfect time to introduce a new bird! Why did now seem like the right time to introduce a new bird?Įarlier this year, we introduced the “Pick Your Flock” feature across all gameplay, allowing players to choose their team with their favorite birds. This will be the first new character in the game in 7 years.
Together, we discuss Melody's strengths and weaknesses, alongside where the idea came from and if we can expect any new characters in the future. We recently had the chance to speak with Neo Chan (Senior Game Designer for Angry Birds 2) and Eeva Aaltonen (Head of Brand Operations) about the newest member of the Angry Birds family.
She's capable of sucking up various objects using her powerful lungs and firing them back out to topple towers and take out piggies. Her name is Melody and, as you might have guessed from her name, she is music-themed. Angry Birds 2 is set to receive a new character for the first time in seven years on November 24th.
