Dora Saves the Crystal Kingdom
By Tommy Leung on 08/21/2009 in Games
I recently finished this Dora the Explorer game for Nickelodeon. It was quite a few months of work as the only programmer on the project. The game has about seven mini-games separated by three side-scrollers.
I don’t normally do games for such a young audience so it was interesting. The game mechanics were quite dumbed down. The games themselves were pretty simple: counting, pattern matching, etc. There should be a desktop game coming out for PC and Mac–that is where the bulk of the work is.
I think the game turned out pretty good. It was games like this one that has had me so busy the past several months.

How exciting that you programmed the entire project yourself! My cousins are huge fans of Dora the explorer (partly because they’re all half hispanic) and I’ve been buying them Dora DS games. I’m so curious to see how this game turns out! If I get it for my cousins, I’ll definitely give it a go-around and let you know what I think :)
