- This is why I've been so quiet lately...
Somewhat nerve-wracking to publicly announce both a failed project, and a new one, but here we are... Stay tuned for more!

Nice! Right away I love the animation of jumping in the cab 3:56 and how the car bounces down 4:01
Best of luck with the game!
Really fun to see you take on a full-fledged side project, Matt!
And I must say that from a CZcams content creator perspective: the way you break down your videos is just so digestible. Keeps me entertained from start to finish 👍
Thank you so much! I try to make them as entertaining as possible given the subject matter haha
The joy in your eyes is so clearly visible when talking about the game, truly inspiring. Good luck and have fun on this journey!
Your racing game looks really fun :D! Looking forward to seeing more about it, gives me good old Crazy Taxi vibes and memories of gaming nights with my friends :)
As you can imagine, I can relate. Cancelling projects is super tough and sad. I'm sure this was a tough call to make but I think is a healthy and good one. Excited to see how your new project goes~
Thanks Matt! Yeah, it's been a difficult process but I'm super excited to be working on something smaller and more manageable (and tackling a new genre for me brings interesting challenges)
@@GameDevGuide for sure, new project looks exciting!
Dang! That's quite a resume your team has. Also, if "Crazy Taxi" wasn't at least partly an inspiration for this game, I will be very surprised.
Ah this is so funny for me personally because I also recently decided, "I need to just sit down and FINISH a small game." and I ALSO chose to make a game based on Crazy Taxi. Ha! I've got a small educational twist to it. Good luck with your project, looks great!
Its weird to see your voice 'personified' :) looking forward for whats to come!
Haha surprise! I have a face
your work is inspiring Matt. Thank you for sharing so much knowledge.
Hope to be in Canada working and eventually meeting you someday.
The most difficult time I had was working full time plus OT as a web developer and then trying to do game dev on the side. I would get burnt out of coding so quickly... it was frustrating because my work programming wasn't the type of code I wanted to write for my true passion. So glad to hear you found a project a bit easier to digest after the long hard day of programming a whole other game! That's a lot of programming (not to mention the time taken to make this yt vid. Thanks for the update and the game looks great!
Nice, me and my team are working on the exact same type of game for our end of year university project. Can't wait to see how your game turns out.
basically crazy taxi
Multiplayer Crazy Taxi
Really feel you on working on coding after your day job coding. I've needed to do it several times and it's not much fun if either of them is demanding, which games dev most certainly is. That said, I'm trying to do it at the moment completing a games course and being a principal dev for a media company! Best of luck, your mad taxi game does look fun.
Super excited to see how this project develops! I’d also imagine the process will give you some great inspiration for videos too, if it hasn’t already (The spline roads video probably came about from this game, hmm?)
If you end up doing any tricks or special implementations for the local multiplayer, I personally would love to see a video on that. CZcams has a lot of videos on local multiplayer parts, but few of them show the larger picture of how they all fit together in a game with multiple scenes and the like. Regardless, good luck on this game dev journey!
Great to see you starting something new. Been finding balance myself with full time work and own projects. Taxi game looks great and hope it goes well
Best of luck Matt! Excited to see the progress on the game :D
Hahah thank you! I turned my rambling at GDC into something tactile!
Completely relate to mixing up what you’re working on at work and at home. Nothing more frustrating than monotony.
Good luck with the new project - can’t wait to see more!
Hi!
I remember seing a video around saying how the gps arrow has or had copyright and cannot be used by other than crazy taxi or something! Don't forget to take a look at it.
Yeah! I'm like 90% sure that patent has expired at this point, however I'm not set on the arrow mechanic and there are a bunch of ways around navigating the direction to the player that I can think of and frankly, might be better suited for this design, so I'll definitely experiment with a few different options I think.
Good luck in ur game
Nice to see an update, all the best on the project!
Reminds me of Simpson's Hit and Run, but looks like it might have more responsive controls. I'm interested to see where this goes :)
Simpsons Road Rage (it's predecessor) might be one of my biggest influences here 👀
There is some taxi game for inspiration but what I got from the video it is a game like the old Quarantine a futuristic game where you are delivering people and sometimes packets to the target. You can improve your car, add extras and weapons and you need to be careful with cops, locals and other weirdos. Anyway I rarely watched this channel becuse the algorythms of the youtube is crappy and never shown up any kind of video. Wish you good luck on both project and if you need inspiration you know where to find it.
Man... this reminds me of Crazy Taxi on Dreamcast
Good luck with the project! It looks super fun.
Good luck Matt!
Nice game dude!, I Nice game dude!, I have enjoying your tutorials for a long time and seeing you make a game on your own it's very inspiring.
Was the game inspired by Crazy Taxi?
The game looks fun! Always neat to see more split-screen multiplayer games. Super curious about your vehicle physics. Looks like you have fields for your wheel transforms and are doing raycasts from there for suspension calculation, and maybe other forces too? It would be cool to see more about that.
Ooh yeah, I'm using some of the default rigidbody behaviours (including wheel colliders) to handle most of it. But I have a few overrides in my controller to make it respond in the way I want. I'll try and do a breakdown of it over on Patreon and perhaps in a future video!
That reminds me of crazy taxi. Loved it in my childhood!
I'm French and love Seattle, I liked less Vancouver. Funny, I was making an open-source simulator for autonomous driving on my nights when I had an easy paid day-job, but now I am too tired with my new day-job scientifically sucking too much of my energy. I agree, it's difficult to mix two closed activities. I'm not scared of pausing a project of mine during several months because the desire comes back when the current project becomes less fun. I'm looking with impatience improvement of your project, I've stalled when I had to deal with roads generation and make roads connections.
Carmageddon vibes!
Can you use the arrow from Crazy Taxi? I think it is patented, be careful on that and good luck with your two projects.
Crazy Taxi meets Simpsons Hit & Run 👍
It's always good to change pace a bit with different genres. I can imagine arcade game is the way to go after working so much with UI and management systems 😅
It very much feels that way yes, haha! It's much more digestible and a far faster feedback loop in regards to how fun it is 😂
Your game idea looks good and be proud of failure, It helped you and I'm glad you mentioned that in your video. your channel is still valuable, keep at it and enjoy the process.
crazy taxi 4!!!!!
please make a tuk-tuk as a bonus vehicle haha
Inspiring stuff ^^
Looks great! So game is basically like Crazy Taxi?
It's kinda of a mish-mash of a few different games, but yeah, that's one of the influences for sure. One of the things that should set this apart though, is that I'm focused on the competitive aspect (hence the opponents) and it's really going to be centered around making a fun experience for both single player and local multiplayer.
@@GameDevGuide One thing I remember from the Crazy Taxi are the minigames (or challenges). If your game would have some kind of competitive minigames with local multiplayer support that could be fun. But anyway, I'm wishing you success in finishing the game!
Looks fun! :)
Thanks! It's still super early but it's definitely showing promise of something fun this early on!
Cool
Notification gang 👽
he's back 🥹
감사합니다.
hey Matt, that arrow @3:35, is not an arrow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
epic
at your skill level i would have expected your personal work to be much more ambitious. I dont have your programming skill, though i am a solid artist, and im working on a god sim in the vein of black and white, and what im working on is crazy ambitious. but still good on you, i hope youre able to finish quickly enough to ship what youre making. i like the premise.
I had
