Show HN: Maori – The Game
Dear HackerNews fellows,
I've been away from the game dev scene for a while — about a decade, to be exact. Life happened, with all of time demands and responsibilities, but the itch to create never truly fades, does it?
Recently, I decided to that it is about time to change that, so I posed myself a challenge: Build and release a game within 24 hours. Well, it turns out I bit off a tad more than I could chew time-wise, clocking in at 42 hours from concept to the final build. But the end product? I'm proud of it.
Introducing my latest passion project: a casual web game inspired by the rich tradition of Maori masks. It's a simple concept that requires players to arrange masks in a specific order, blending elements of puzzles and memory games. The game is designed to be accessible and engaging whether you’re a kid enjoying the patterns and shapes or an adult tackling the "pro mode" for an extra challenge.
And the best part? It's absolutely free.
I’m genuinely excited for you all to give it a try and I'd be thrilled to hear your thoughts on it. If you like my little project, please pass it along. Your support means the world!
For those who have an interest in the journey behind the product, I've documented the entire development process. I’d be happy to share these behind-the-scenes videos for those being curious.
Have fun exploring, share if you enjoy, and happy puzzling!
See you in the game (and in the comments),
Cheers,
Daniel
- xupybd 3y agoDid you consult with any Iwi about this?
- belgogames 3y agonot yet. I'd love to, especially to get some more of the traditional aspects in and to honor those.
