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 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?
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?
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.
just started watching the linked vid and I noticed that your button icons are a bit low res.
I have seen a vid a long time ago, where one indie dev, created a whole pack of icons for exactly this use, covers all systems / PC /consoles. It was so long ago, i cannot remember or find the video, however, I did a quick seach and found this, looks simlar, but i havent verified it.
