I've always wanted to make a video game, and over the past few months have been building one, Fairway Rogue. It's a procedurally generated, deck-building, mini-golf roguelite. It's been a lot of fun, and I've learned a lot.

I remember someone saying that when you build a game, you end up building tools to help you build the game. I never really got that, but now I do. I've spent quite a bit of time working on tools to help me balance the various game mechanics.

One weird learning, it was much easier to get it on the iOS app store, than the Google Play store. Google wants you to have a closed playtest with at least 12 players, for 14 days. I did that and they said the testers weren't engaged enough.

If you want to check it out on iOS https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fairway-rogue/id6783598189, I'm still trying to get it on Android
