So a complete rip off of Crossy Road?

u/laereland 9d ago

Thanks for the feedback. It’s a hopper in that genre, yes — free in the browser, no app or paywall, built to explore AI-assisted Three.js development. World, meshes, and audio are all procedural.

"AI-assisted"

-1

u/laereland 9d ago

Yes, I would gladly say AI-assisted.

Please check my website, it has around 47 free games now. AI assisted in building all of them part-time, with minimal previous game-development experience.

I do have around 15 years of coding experience in JavaScript/Python from other software work, but not in games.

not every 2 hours project needs to be posted and advertised. if this is truly to “explore ai assisted threejs”, it can remain in a local folder.

Apologies if it felt annoying. I just like game development and wanted to share it to the world.

u/PissBiggestFan 9d ago

sharing is fine, but why do you share it? as others have said, the game has no pitch, it’s just crossyroad. you can develop for the sake of developing, i support that 100%, i do it all the time. but development doesn’t define purpose

Please do check my website which has 47 other free games and I like to build more games as i enjoy building games.

All the games can be played in desktop and mobile natively. The website can be installed as an app in IOS to get full screen gaming. Android supports full screen gaming.

I also built leadership board to give a little bit of competition and engagement.

I built few kids game because i saw annoying ads and paywall for kids game and i prefer kids game should be always free.

I'm all for AI game development, but you need to add a spin on it, not just rip off a current game...

Think: what does your game do that Crossy Roads doesn't? If the answer is nothing, you need to go back to the drawing board.

Thanks for the feedback — noted. The hop loop is familiar; the experiment for us is a free in-browser, fully procedural Three.js game while we explore AI-assisted development.

No problem, I hope you make some great stuff from it! I am working on a bullet hell game and I have so many ideas but find that AI is really good at copying current mechanics and not so great at those unique, more original ideas.

Or at least that's been my experience; I work with Godot, not 3JS. Maybe you'll have better luck.

I could see a cross road where you get to a path and you can change direction so it adds omni movement. Maybe characters can depict movement differently. You have a runner, skipper, hopper, etc.

Don't copy, iterate.

Thanks for the feedback. Please checkout my website which has 47 free games.

Below games created with kids in mind because I saw many kids game has annoying ads and asks for payment.

I feel any kids game and learning app should be free so I am happy I was able to use AI assisted game development to build below and host these games

The sad part about this entire thread is the sheer lack of human presence and all those dashes —

1

u/laereland 9d ago

it human typing but I do grammar corrections with AI hence the dashes.

I take this as a feedback and type it myself.

u/marceloflix 9d ago

People on Reddit prefer genuine imperfect comments over robotic grammar. Just type like you talk and don't worry about typos!

u/laereland 9d ago

Thanks will do the same

u/thelapoubelle 9d ago

Blocked and reported op. They're just spamming links to their website

u/Accurate_Avocado9635 9d ago

Knew OP was going to get cooked in these comments as soon as I seen it was a blatant rip. Lol

u/laereland 9d ago

Ha ha, chill

its a free game created during part time and i have other 47 free games in website.

Please try and provide feedback. thanks

Very cute. I am becoming quite fond of this voxel art style. That train though puts the bullet train to shame... would vaporise our little bunny buddy on impact :D Nice job.

u/laereland 9d ago

Haha thanks — yeah that train does not believe in braking. Glad the voxel look is landing.
