Development Diary: November 11th, 2014

Welcome to the inaugural post for Doctor Who Rebirth, which is my Doctor Who fan-game being developed using the DM language. Players take control of the Doctor and upon dying they'll regenerate into the next incarnation.

Forget game-overs, and checkpoints. You'll regenerate right there on the spot, but if you use all the regenerations then you get a little 'game-over' notification and have to restart. How many incarnations will you burn through?

What stories will you change?

Here's the Twelfth Doctor (Peter Capaldi) stationed on Gallifrey beside a fellow Timelord. You'll be able to hop into your TARDIS and explore the galaxy. Go to far away planets, explore your favorite planets, and save the universe time and time again.

That being said, here are some features you can expect when you play the game.

  • Doctor's 1-12. Each having their own appearance and TARDIS interiors. Once you hit Peter Capaldi you won't be able to regenerate anymore. Use those regenerations wisely.
  • Explore a variety of planets. From Gallifrey to Skaro.
  • Battle the Doctor's worst enemies: The Master, Daleks, Cybermen, and more.
  • Music, and sounds straight from the Doctor Who universe to help immerse the players in the world and to help make them feel like The Doctor.
  • Open sandbox! There's no set path. Do whatever you want! Want to fight Daleks on Skaro as the War Doctor? Feel free! Or, go visit Santa as Eleven, or if you're really feeling up to it...visit a certain villain made out of candy.
And much more! Follow this blog for more up to date details and what-not towards the game.
