Hey everyone! Short and sweet video today, fancied getting another video out sooner rather than later. There’s some slightly wonky audio this time around, but I hope you enjoy the new character selection work and new level.
Thanks,
Tom
An Overwhelmed Game Dev…
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

Happy Halloween – PLOK! Remake
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.

PLOK Remake: Secret Level, Helicopters & More
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.
