I do love a pixel art Dalek. Recently came across some of the sprites from the distinctly bang average 1992 game Dalek Attack and thought I'd have a crack at updating the design.

Looking for some feedback / ideas 💡 So I have this basic tunnel rolling mechanic. Controls are the same as regular platforming, but I'm wondering if I could / should do something different with controls within tunnels...like maybe 4 directional movement🤔❓ #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Little update on this prototype. Added rolling through tunnels, feels quite good! #indiedev #pielart #gamedev

Anxiety is through the absolute effing roof at the moment. I swear I haven't felt relaxed or content in my mind for about 9 years. Coincidentally my son turned 9 last week 😂

Working on enemy ai behaviours atm. Honestly this took way longer than it should just to get these Cybermen moving 😂🥲 #pixelart #doctorwho #gamedev #indiedev

@reluctantnicko.bsky.social Hi Alan, hope you are well. You may have already answered this question today but wanted to ask are Rovers still in for Youan at Hibs, or is that over with now Kargbo has signed? Hopefully they get a couple more in tomorrow 🤞

Creating a tile map for one of the areas in my pixel art, classic Zelda-like Doctor Who fan game. The thing I've learnt is that tile maps are a real trial and error to refine down 😅 #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #doctorwho

This week in my 2D Zelda-like Doctor Who fan game, I've been playing with push blocks and floor switches. Still a bit janky and lacking a push animation for the player character, but it works! Where that portal takes you will be revealed another time 😅 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #doctorwho

Here's a little example of some Sonic Screwdriver usage in my classic Zelda-like Doctor Who game :) Drag the Sonic Screwdriver around and it will reveal objects that it can interact with, in this case a switch that extends a bridge. #pixelart #doctorwho #indiedev #gamedev

Pixel Doctor Who update: You'll unlock key abilities by collecting different gadgets as you progress through the game, the first of which is the Sonic Screwdriver. Once you've got the Sonic, you can use its drag & drop behaviour to interact with objects. #indiedev #gamedev #doctorwho #pixelart

LEGO DC Super-Villains (PS4)
Product Description Embark on an all-new LEGO adventure by becoming the best villain the universe has seen in LEGO DC Super-Villains. For the first time, a LEGO game is giving players the ability to play as a super-villain throughout the game, unleashing mischievous antics and wreak havoc in an action-packed, hilarious story written in collaboration with DC Comics. Set in an expansive, open world experience within the DC Universe, the Justice League has disappeared, leaving Earth's protection to their counterparts from a parallel universe, who have proclaimed themselves as the 'Justice Syndicate'. Sometimes, it takes more than a superhero to get the job done and it's up to the player and a crazed group of misfits to uncover the intentions of Earth's new, strange, wannabe superheroes. Joined by renowned super-villains: The Joker, Harley Quinn, Lex Luthor, Deathstroke, Killer Frost, Sinestro, and countless others from the Injustice League, players will set out on an epic adventure to ensure their villainy remains unrivaled. Box Contains DVD ROM

I've finished the intro to my classic Zelda-like Doctor Who fan game. Every numbered Doctor will definitely be playable (only 14 has animations at the moment). If I have time then I'll add in Fugitive and War Doctors. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #doctorwho

Here's the first bit of test gameplay for the new pixel Doctor Who game I'm now working on. Much more classic Zelda-like in appearance, but I'm still planning to retain some of the point & click elements from the old concept. #gamedev #indiedev #doctorwho #pixelart

Back on t'other app I used to post about the pixel art Doctor Who point & click inspired fan game I was working on. Well that project kind of ran out of steam in the end due to just not having the time for it. Well.... (1/2)

Insert first post here: Started Prince of Persia the Lost Crown last night after it has sat on my shelf for a few months. I feel like a moron for leaving it so long because this a quality game 😍.
