About Doctor Who's 50th Anniversary

DR WHO'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY DOODLE TEAM

Artists don't make games, programmers do. I provided the designs and various pieces of animation but without the engineers the game would only exist in another dimension! I was fortunate to work alongside people that genuinely cared:

Engineering Gurus - Rui Lopes, Corrie Scalisi, Mark Ivey

Additional support - Doug Simpkinson, Jonathan Shneier

All things D of 3 - Leon Hong

Deity of rain, lava & lightning - Kevin Laughlin

Additional game ideas - Gregory Capuano

Sounds - The BBC, Tom Tabanao, Manuel Clement and Cody!

Creative consultant - Chris Dibona

User testing - Jennifer Zamora

We thank the BBC for trusting us and also helping us whenever needed. So what are you waiting for?! Jump in your TARDIS (Time and relative "doodle" in space) and become the fastest time lord in the universe!
