MiniGolf Maker - Road Turtle Games
Hi everyone,
It has been a while since the last update, but I am back with the June/July update, as well as a 25% discount as part of the Steam Summer Sale!
Phase 1 is somewhat limited in its content, but it lays the foundation for the system which I will be building on top of in future updates.
Check out the Behaviors and Events tutorial to get a jump start:

Also in this update is the ability to Group objects together, which can be very powerful when used with behaviors.
Check out the Grouping tutorial to get familiar with it:

If you have any feedback or ideas about Behaviors, Events, or Grouping, be sure to tell me about it in the Ideas and Feedback forum!

Behaviors, Events and Grouping
The star of this update is Phase 1 of the Behaviors and Events system, which allows you to add dynamic elements to your courses.Phase 1 is somewhat limited in its content, but it lays the foundation for the system which I will be building on top of in future updates.
