I want to make a match3 game where a standard for these genre elements located on the same screen with other graphics. Similar to Puzzle and Dragons.
I am not a programmer, so I am looking for some. But first I have to choose if I need a match3 framework or better to write the whole code from scratch?
I appreciate any help and recommendation.
Hi,
I don’t think you will get very far if you buy a game template. Especially if you are not a programmer. I think it would be best to first write out your specs for the game. Then, when you actually know what your game is going to be, try to figure out what you can try to do yourself or might it be better to try hire someone to do certain things for you.
Match 3 is not exactly complicated. There are numerous tutorials online, most targeting beginners. If you learn how it works, you’ll be able to integrate it with other stuff. This is a situation where you really need to learn how to code.
Most of the frameworks out there are intended mostly for reskinning and little else. Anything more than that will require you be able to understand the code written by the author and it’s not always pleasant or well documented.
I am going to hire a programmer, just thinking which way is more optimal. I already started do write all features that I need for MVP .
I want to hire a programmer. I am going to do all art and manager functions.
This is the thing, I am going to hire a programmer, but thinking about how to cut necessary spendings.
My recommendation then is to ask the programmer which way would be the most optimal for them. It’s very possible that they may have their own framework that they’ve used in past projects. Just looking at my own code repository I have code dating back to the 90s that I keep for reuse.
Edit: For that matter there are several existing frameworks on Github. Below is one of the fancier ones out there.
I wouldn’t buy anything yet. Don’t only write out your design doc, make lots of art, video, or even put together scenes in unity so that even a programmer who speaks a different language can understand clearly what you are trying to build.
Then try to find several programmers and get their opinion about what is best way to approach. Different people see things different even if they all have plenty of relevant experience. Lots of cats getting skinned many ways. I dunno why people skinning cats bur whatebwr. You can then choose whoever you like the most for whatever reasons.
Got it. Thank you very much.
Agree. This is exactly what I need. Thanks.
