The one on the right is the original sprite, the left being my redesign. Better or worse?

We now have wall jumping and polished up the ball rolling mechanic further #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

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

Working on a new level and tile set for my pixel art Doctor Who fan game. The Cybermen are coming 😱 #pixelart #doctorwho #gamedev #indiedev

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

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

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

I plan on making a couple of devlogs for YouTube, but for now, here's some screenshots of the new game intro.
