anefiox··on Ragdoll Mayhem Maker – a physics-based level editor for my indie game
Hi all, I’m the developer of Ragdoll Mayhem Maker. This started as an internal level editor for my physics-based game. The sandbox/editor is included with the full game on Steam, but levels are just JSON and I mainly use an external editor.

I wanted to share it here mainly to get feedback from people who’ve built physics tools or level editors before.

Happy to answer any technical questions if anybody has any.

anefiox··on A cozy golf game you can play on your Steam Deck in front of the TV
Hi All I'm really into cozy games and wanted a chilled out golf game that I could play on my Steam deck in front of the TV. So I went and made one myself! I made it so that levels are easy to traverse through but you can challenge yourself if you want to.

I have demake in development for a game jam at the moment as well. This is I link to an early version of the demake https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=136972#p

I will have an update with updated physics soon and the physics in the Steam game are a lot better. Please let me know what you think.

I will be updating the physics, adding sounds and maybe adding some bonus features that are not in the original Steam release https://store.steampowered.com/app/2541820/Possibly_Endless_...
anefiox··on So glad that I moved my game from Unity to Monogame
I first started developing my game in Unity but didn't like that I wasn't getting an instant feedback loop like in other code first game engines so I moved my development to Monogame and couldn't be happier, especially now that Unity have brought in those stupid per install fees. Is anybody else going to make the move or are you just going to wait it out?
anefiox··on Trying different ad networks for my indie game. Any you could recommend?
So I've tried Reddit, Facebook and YouTube promotions. Twitter Ads wouldn't run but that's because I think you need to subscribe now. I have Adsense still in it's learning phase and I plan to try TikTok soon.

Out of the ones tried up to now YouTube promotion was the most useless and Reddit wasn't worth it as any normal posts I've made on my game have preformed better than the ad.

Weirdly Adsense seems to have performed better than all the ad networks upto now just in it's learning phase. I will write an update with performance numbers once I finish this little experiment.

Are there any other ad platforms you could recommend?

Yes thanks that is one of the things I am updating with the next release
anefiox··on Looking for Feedback: Possibly Endless Golf, a Cozy Golf Game for Quick Breaks
Looking for feedback on a golf game I created using Monogame. The game should be out on the 5th September with an update coming soon acting on feedback I've already recieved.

I have some gameplay videos on youtube https://youtu.be/smrTImxVvyk and can also provide keys to those that are interested.

My first ever PC release. Possibly Endless because it would take in my calculations 30-50 years to see all possible levels.

That would be an even better social experiment!
anefiox··on Master ChatGPT: Written by ChatGPT, for Mastering ChatGPT
I thought it would be funny to have an AI write a book about itself. So, writing this book wasn’t as easy as telling ChatGPT to write me a book. It needed many prompts, guidance and a ton of proof reading. I found the text to be quite repetitive and it wouldn’t really explain itself too well but here’s the end result. Definitely quicker than starting from scratch but a few versions away from writing its own masterpieces.

This is my first release for pico-8 and Playdate. It's a rage quit type game. Please take a look and let me know if you think it's worth expanding on.
