Memory 3D - Pair matching game in 3D
-
Maybe add a multiplayer variant?

I think an expanded version of this game should be an existentialist visual novel. The road represents life. You could have a load of high-falutin philosophical talk about perception and memory. and there’ll be a moment when the terrain disappears and the road is up in a starry sky with one lone car on it, and thoughts about finitude and mortality. Maybe flashbacks to earlier times. The game can be called ’Nyūron no seishin - Journey to a Forgotten Remembrance’.

That’s an interesting take!

Wow! that is really nice!

@vinicity Thank you very much 😊
It took me a while to figure out a way to give the illusion of movement without it killing the framerate. I eventually settled on creating a bunch of terrains and using a loop to position them. I did try setting terrain height and shifting along one tile at a time but it just looked awful.
I had some fun with coding the camera, especially when I discovered that I could offset the orbiting camera and make it orbit any object. I briefly had an intro that showed the camera catching up to the traffic, but decided that a month was already too much time to spend on my simple game, so I cut it.
The pause menu came quite late in the development as I thought you should have a way to restart if you have made a mess of your guesses or you wanted to go back to the menu. I found exiting the game was as simple as breaking out of the main loop using "break".
I appreciate the slick. I did aim to make it look as good as I possibly could. At one point I added a night mode where it went dark and the vehicle lights came on. It looked stunning, but brought the framerate to unacceptable levels - be careful with spotlights! 😊
It was a good challenge to make, especially the random placement of pairs in the available grid spaces. Check the "makeGrid" function to see what I mean.
Still deciding on what to do next. I have the 3D bug so might do a 3D retro remake or perhaps do something original with motion controls. Not sure yet.

@SteveZX81 Thanks Steve. I appreciate that 😊 Your game is coming along nicely. I think we're all looking forward to checking that one out. I saw the Fuze boss even commented. Nice one 😊
Edit: Just noticed you have posted the game code. Awesome 😊 -
@toxibunny I can't tell if you're being serious, but I took this as a joke 😂

@vinicity I am happy with where this project is now and haven't any plans to add to it. I may make one of my next games multiplayer. I have been wondering about making something like Virtua Cop or House of the Dead with motion controls!
-
@spt-games That sounds like awesome ideas! Do it!
-
Somehow managed to miss the animated logo, but I've gotta say that looks amazing
-
@Retrocade_media Thank you. Your "Sanitization Unit Fuzeion" logo looked good too. I would like to make a title like that for my next game's title screen 😊
