But maybe you don't have to of As Cobbett points out, the Doctor “is not about the Doctor being a character intentionally written as largely unknown and several steps beyond our understanding. It is to do.” and The Doctor will also have the opportunity to meet and befriend this mysterious figure from across time and space, and will have the ultimate tour guide to the universe's greatest story. ”
Rather than a giant time-and-space sandbox, Cobbett says, “we want to start with a comprehensive character creation system that puts you as much as possible in the role of your new companion. Then you can create a series with him. “We want to be able to participate in linked games.” But mostly stand-alone episodic adventures, Star Trek: 25th Anniversary/Rite of Judgment. Historical figures, futuristic adventures, and at the center of it all, a madman with a box you can never hope to fully understand, drag you along on a journey. ”
Nelson also argues that companions, rather than the Doctor, are the natural protagonists of the game, as television shows often act as surrogates for the audience.
“Typically, when you're put in the position of planning a game around these challenges, one of the most powerful actions you can take is to make an adjacent fantasy a reality. Accompany the Doctor instead of being the Doctor.” You become Jimmy Olsen, you become an accurate depiction of Superman,” Nelson says. “The Doctor's companions often include a large group of active but restrained people, which makes them ideal game protagonists.”

“The biggest problem, of course, is that if you spend time developing a game that really has value for the show, you're probably going to end up with a game right around the time the whole show is about to be reinvented,” Cobbett said. says Mr. “Will the BBC create a new Doctor or make a big finish and have them tell a story about the Eight, for example? Even if they did, would fans resonate with that decision? Probably not. But… Having said that, I think there is potential for a Whoniverse VN series with a big finish style.”
