Hello fellow architect

Today is a sad day because we wanted to push out the 1.1.0 patch with huge improvements... but the universe had other plans :(

The new patch need a little bit more time in the oven to bring you a really good update.

The good news is that i can share with you some improvement we are working on:

We are working on improving the putter, in this video you can see the work we are doing on the put it self and on the ball physics!
This are two rough and short video to demonstrate the advancement we have made in the putting. We are also working on more pleasing animations and improving the over all feeling.



This is how you should wash your balls in our animator opinion!


A great way to brighten up your course and please your golfers at the same time.
Flower beds are also hazards for your golfer, so keep them out of the play, unless you want to toughen the hole. If a ball lands in a Flower Bed, it's similar to as it would land in the rough.

1. We added the Par of the hole visible on the score board
2. Darker cell color indicates the current hole the golfer are playing
3. This is a toggle button that let you choose how to visualize the result, total strokes or score
And on top of all this you will finally be able to terraform your tee and hole!!!!

I hope you like the direction we are taking, unfortunetly we need to keep polishing a little bit more before we push it live!

I hope you have a great weekend

best

Hello fellow architects!

Today I'm here to talk a little bit bout the new addition to the game and the Out of Bound ( OB) rework!

First thing first, we added more customization to the Trees, now you can chose between 3 different size:
1) Small: golfer will try to shoot over them, the better the golfer less of an obstacle this size of tree are.
2) Medium: the normal size that you are all familiar with.
3) Tall: golfer will not attempt to throw over them, it's almost impossible
Now some more technical discussions:

Rocks: it's not Ob anymore, but the ball bounces erratically when it lands in rocks. and if the ball end in the rock even after the bounce it triggers the "relief for an unplayable ball".

Trees: it's not Ob anymore, relief for an unplayable ball in case it's too much under a tree
Water: relief for an unplayable ball
Path: it's not Ob anymore, will be handled like the default terrane ("Base").
OB: too far from the current hole


Relief for an unplayable ball
If your ball comes to rest in a position where a shot is not reasonably possible, such as deep bushes, heavy rough, or obstructed terrain, you may declare the ball unplayable. Taking relief adds a one-stroke penalty, after which the ball is repositioned to the nearest valid point on the current hole.

Some quality of life improvements:

• Start screen now works also with the mouse click and not only with the space bar.
  
• New "Live it! stats effect" settings that will toggle the Hunger, thirst, energy and bathroom effects while playing golf.
  
• No more Bankruptcy in Sandbox
  
• Not showing the follow cam while playing Golf!

I hope this little/big update is a right step in the right direction, let us know what you think.

See you on the green

Yves
