Hey,
I’ve just launched a second YouTube channel and I really wanted to highlight the struggles that went into creating the most recent devlog. Feelings of overwhelm, impostor syndrome and lack of motivation. I go into how I managed to overcome these issues on this occasion and talk through what that process was like. It’s different to my normal game dev videos but it’s quite a personal video and I hope you’ll enjoy it as you get to know me better.
Thanks,
Tom
Hey there! I’m back from a *cough* 5 month break and I’m back with a new video featuring new enemies, new platforming mechanics such as rotating platforms. I’ve finished of the garlen beach stage and also finished the new level ‘Sleepy Dale’. Check it out!
Hey everyone! Decided to make a new video of my partial progress into the next level. These new mechanics are still early but I hope you enjoy what I can currently share. This video covers…
I hope you enjoy the video!

I’m getting further along with my Plok remake! Here’s all the main levels from world 1. Secret warps/levels may go into a separate future video! Stay tuned for more
Smaller video today as the next level is going to take a lot of time! Here’s a new bonus stage, the start of the next level and more! Enjoy!
I sped through the next bonus stage so decided to double up the content for the next devlog! I hope you enjoy. This devlog has the shell collecting minigame, the jetpack level and more!
Thanks for watching,
Tom :)
New video! Worked on the content for this the last couple days as I’ve been busy the last few weeks! Hopefully you like what’s here for such a short time period! This video focuses on the following
Happy Halloween! I’m unable to do game development for a few weeks due to LIFE. I decided to spend some time quickly before I’m busy to make this art work to celebrate Halloween. We’ve got PLOK as Ghost Rider, The Bobbin Bros as Joker and Batman, two of the undead fish enemies as a ghost and a bat, the Sprout wearing a pumpkin mask and Rockyfella dressed up as Frankenstein. We’re burning the in game logs because they’ve caused too many deaths catching us off guard. The bike PLOK is riding is from some mock up art that hasn’t been implemented for the motor bike stages. Ground tiles taken from the latest devlog (though currently unused). Water was just hue shifted.
Read more: Happy Halloween – PLOK! RemakeCouple of minor bits I’ve done while I’ve got time before my big busy calendar block.
– Updated Profile Picture and Banner art on the YouTube Channel
– Added score popups for defeating enemies, see this short to see it in action
– Scheduled side by side level comparisons on Mondays and Weds each week ending on the 22nd November for currently made levels.
– You can see a bunch of extra material if you join the discord here.
Squeezing out a new PLOK devlog! I’m remaking the SNES game PLOK in the Unity game engine. This video covers adding a new secret stage. I’ve cut the intro this time in an attempt to keep the pace up and maintain watch time. A lot of different editing experiments in this one. Main things covered in the video are helicopters, sea mine looking enemies, new art, pause screen updates, loading transitions and warps on the world map.
Here’s a compilation of the progress I’ve made so far in my remake of PLOK from the Super Nintendo. The remake is being made in Unity to help me learn new skills. Not intended for release.
