    Hi,

    Apologies if this is in the wrong section. I did spend a while trying to figure out where to post this, but if there's a better place, (aside from the recycle bin) please feel free to move it.

    I am looking at making a word puzzle game. Not like Wordle, but something like the Match Up puzzles on Wordwall. Here's a link to show what I mean.

    https://wordwall.net/about/template/match-up

    Specifically, something like this: https://wordwall.net/resource/24652784/esol/purpose-of-texts-e3

    Are there any templates which are similar, to save me having to do the donkey work?

    Thanks in advance,

    John.

    If there are templates, you can easily find them searching the asset store or github.

    For something as trivial as this, using a template seems like both a waste of money and time. Unless you want your game to feel and look pretty much identical to every other game using the template that is (meaning chances of success in an already saturated market are astronomically lower)

    Why not just try and learn to make the game yourself, that way you actually will understand how to edit things correctly and wont end up with problems down the line that only the asset developer can fix reliably.

    You could knock together the basis for the proposed game in literally a day (not the content such as levels, just the functionality and basic functional UI) - just to give you an idea of how much of a waste of time a template for this really is.
