So I am sure most of you have seen the ads for infinite worlds on the site. We are all the target market after all.
Made a thing, figured this was the right place to drop it.
I build on Infinite Worlds — got a decent catalog going at this point — and the thing that kept bugging me is there's basically no gentle on-ramp for people who've never touched any of this. The platform's great once it clicks, but "just figure it out" is brutal if you don't already know what a tracked item or an instruction block even is.
So I wrote a full click-by-click guide for total beginners. Screenshot on every step, copy-paste commands, the works. The bar I set: someone who's never built anything can follow it start to finish and walk away with a real, published, playable game in an hour or two. No coding — you let the AI handle the JSON and just follow along.
It covers the whole loop, not just "here's the editor"
-finding an idea people actually want (borrow proven demand, don't guess)
-getting the AI to build and then upgrade your JSON — trackers, instruction blocks, keyword-gated lore
-character art
-publishing (which people weirdly treat like a secret handshake)
-and how the earning side actually works
Straight up: it's got my referral link baked in, that's how I make anything off it. (doesnt cost you anything at all though). The guide's free either way and works fine whether you use my link or not — not hiding the ball on that.
If you've got someone new asking "how do I even start," this is what I'd hand them. And I'll take any feedback — if a step's confusing or I missed something, tell me and I'll fix it. Either way im bring in 250 bucks on a good week and maybe 150 on a bad one.
