The GOLF PIN Update!

The team has been hard at work over the last few months to bring you the new Golf Pin update! This new update balances the Difficulty feedback we received, with a fun new way to customize your playstyle in each Round. With it, this new update also has a whole host of Quality of Life features. Golf Pins are a new mechanical addition to Cursed to Golf. You will be able to choose one from three random Pins at the start of each Round and then purchase them in a new section at each Eterni-Tee! Each one can have a large effect on the way you approach each Hole or even each Shot! You will be able to equip up to a maximum of three Pins during each run. Play to your own strengths and choose Pins that compliment your playstyle!

• Want to start every tee shot in a Hole with a Rocket-ball? NOW YOU CAN!
• Explode all Shot Idols when entering a Hole? THERE’S A PIN FOR THAT!
• Control the Angle Meter and make perfect shots each time? WHY NOT!

Choose wisely and master the Course your own way! Try and combo Pin effects together to really maximize your Round… That cheeky Greenskeeper won’t be able to stop you from reaching Golf Heaven now! Head into the new “Pins” section in the Eterni-Tee shops and check out which Pins might be available. If you don’t like what you see, you can always Reroll to see three new Pins. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/efaa9353c1a80074032d3198a8487c65ad74c59b.gif Magnets HOW DO THEY WORK?! Missing your final shot at the Hole? Why not just stick a Magnet on it, then you will never miss! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/4a62477eb57ccc126fad453dd9f7e0c891faa6c6.gif WOMBO-COMBO-GOLFO! Equip up to three Pins at one time. Try to see how you can combo each Pins power to maximize the effects! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/7271e95f5c9f93ab8362e58830724f47369601ce.gif We are hard at work finishing the update and while we don’t have a release date yet… It is coming SOON.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/25ff8eb1622aec97d8760305daeff7ae1167d1c6.png It's been a while Cursed Friends! The Cursed to Golf team here at Chuhai Labs has been hard at work since we last spoke! We have been collating feedback, tackling through the forums and listening to all of your comments. A big thank you to all the players who have experienced Golf Purgatory so far and a special thanks to all players who have taken the time to review, comment, give feedback and help us to make the best darn GOLFLIKE we possibly can! Hold on to your hats as this is a big one. ːsteamhappyː And of course with that, we have been hard at work on our first "big" update to Cursed to Golf since launch. Presenting to you the PURGATORY REMIX update! A free update for all players that introduces two additional game modes, Practice Round and Remix Round as well as a host of quality of life updates. Allow me to explain each new mode in a little more detail! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/cc4e597918a308d559a471a65dbb4453d356f59a.png

Practice Round:

Practice Round is a new mode we've created to help players with the perils of Golf Purgatory! In this new mode, you will be able to start a blank 18-hole run through the Purgatory, Oasis and Caverns biomes while setting your own custom rules! Through Practice Round you will be able to familiarize yourself with the various dungeon-like holes of Cursed to Golf and practice making your way through the various hazards in hopes of being able to take on Classic mode and finally Ascend!

• Enable "Hole Restart" option.
• Enable "Cursed Holes" option.
• Set your starting Ace Card deck.

If you're struggling to make it to latter biomes, use Practice Round! (Note: There is no story progress or achievement unlocking in Practice Round) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/cb671fc289c53925f42c1f8e9a0f274afc3c1d72.png

Remix Round:

Remix Round is a brand-new daunting game mode for those experienced Cursed Golfers who have already made the Ascension (or close to)! Tackle 9-remixed-purgatory-holes, devilishly designed to be the meanest, toughest and most difficult holes yet! Get yourself on a new leaderboard and show off.

• NO SHOT IDOLS.
• NO BOONS.
• NO ETERNI-TEE SHOPS.
• Survive only on end of hole rewards!

If you've finished the 18-holes of Golf Purgatory and Ascended, but left wanting more this is the mode for you. We look forward to seeing you all scream... bwahahaha.

Quality of Life - Updates:

Alongside the new game modes, we have also added a "hole" host of new quality of life options in the settings menu based on some of the common feedback! We will continue to add additional features and quality of life settings as we move forward. If there's still options you'd like to have included, please leave a comment in the discussions thread!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/e4e56651ef519e160f21f3b35b4e7ee809c51f40.jpg Greetings fellow Cursed Golfers, It's me once again, Liam. Creator and Director of Cursed to Golf. And a NERVOUS Creator and Director, because it's the last day before the launch of our beloved Golflike! IT'S REALLY HAPPENING, FOLKS! That's why I can't manage a decent update today - thanks for your understanding. 😅 But I have a quick addendum to my update on the sale price of Cursed to Golf earlier this week. I forgot a small but very important detail: The launch discount! Starting tomorrow there will be a discount of 10% for the first 7 days after launch. ːsteamhappyː Find out more here: https://twitter.com/CursedtoGolf/status/1559731713617854465 And that's it for today, friends. We can't wait to see you all making your way through Golf Purgatory! Thanks, all the best, and take care! Liam & the Chuhai Labs Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1726120/Cursed_to_Golf/

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/0aacfa0537723e7ee3526c31b952c8a45c6ceeb5.jpg Hey there Golfers, It's Liam again. We are going to open the courses of Cursed to Golf for you in around 2 days. So, you still have some time to polish your golf clubs and improve your skills. And believe me, you will definitely need skills to master the world's first GOLFLIKE! If you're asking yourself "What the hell is a Golflike?" we'd like to take this opportunity to let you know what Cursed to Golf is and what you can expect from our game. Let's go, folks! Cursed to Golf is a golf game for those that want a bit of randomized hellish masochism thrown in for good measure. We've always described it as a "Golflike" in reference to one of the genres we have been inspired by: Roguelikes. You'll start every run with some Ace Cards and a randomly ordered 18 hole course. No, we did not procedurally generate the holes. We figured out pretty quickly that randomly generating a fair and completable golf course wouldn't quite make the CUT. So, Cursed to Golf in a nutshell:

• Unique & challenging Arcade-style Golf game
• Roguelike-inspired Game Loop
• 4 biomes and bosses in Golf Purgatory
• 70+ hand-designed holes
• 20+ Ace Cards to help you ascend
• 3 golf clubs: driver, iron and wedge
• Online leaderboards to challenge the world!
• A wide selection of unlockable costumes
• Estimated playtime of 7-8 hours (to beat 18 holes for the first time)

And once you beat the campaign of Cursed to Golf for the first time, you have only seen 18 holes out of overall 70+ holes. You can continue playing afterwards without worrying, because there is a lot more to see! Check it out in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPZoEtye8BA May the fores be with you, hit ‘em long and straight and go low!

Hello all you Cursed Golfers! Thank you for joining us once again for another rad Steam event! This time to celebrate this summer's Steam Next Festival and Cursed to Golf's first time in the festival, we have a huge new update to the demo for you all to enjoy ːsteamthumbsupː We have been hard at work putting the final touches to the game before we launch (TBA) later this summer. As part of that hard work, we wanted to share our revamped Golfin' Hell in a small slice via a new updated, Scotsman Demo! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/defd12dea375fdc354131994153e3d8a9c7476b2.jpg New visuals across the golfing landscape including; new course map, visual updates to animations, flair for booster pack openings and a whole bunch more touches that make this the best darn pixel-art golf purgatory experience you can get. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/56d54954740341d18f277cb1bd23b440bf422e8e.jpg Thanks to everyone during the demo's first outing as well for all of your incredible comments, positive response and feedback. We have been working hard on making sure Cursed to Golf is as tight, fun and enjoyable as we know you all want it to be. This updated demo includes a whole host of bug fixes to make your experience even more enjoyable! However, please be reminded that this still is a work-in-progress, so any new bugs you encounter or see (1. CONGRATS), please leave us a comment in the discussions thread or hit us up on Twitter. For all you score chasers as well, we have a leaderboard for you to SMASH while taking down that pesky Scotsman! So, get your practice in and record some high-scores, show off to your friends! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/f386969bb94f93c155ec298ab4f2cf591273dd45.jpg Thank you everyone for checking out Cursed to Golf this week, we here at Chuhai Labs hope you have a great time playing our demo! Feel free to leave feedback and comments in the discussions thread. Thanks Liam & the Golf Team.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/03de39ff813281fcb0f79ab134b9fddd8d07548e.jpg Hello to all you crazy roguelike fiends, We love roguelikes as much as the next guy or girl, which is why we made Cursed to Golf. It’s a golf game for those that want a bit of randomized hellish masochism thrown in for good measure. I guess our twisted idea has worked, as the powers that be over at Valve have seen it fit to include Cursed to Golf in the Going Rogue: A Festival of Persistence… festival. Well, we couldn’t be happier to be a part of it, AND it gives us yet another chance to plug our lovely DEMO, yay! So please, download the demo if you haven’t already and start smacking some balls, you will feel better. Probably*. We’ve always described Cursed to Golf as a Golf-Like in reference to one of the genres we have been inspired by. So in celebration of this festival, I’m going to dive into those ‘Rogue’ elements that make Cursed to Golf so brutally addictive. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/f386969bb94f93c155ec298ab4f2cf591273dd45.jpg Randomness?! Don’t we all love randomness? That feeling that no run will ever be the same because fresh stuff will pop up in new and exciting/infuriating ways. That thing you tell yourself every time you start a new run: “This is the one. This run will go well, praise be to the RNG.” We can’t get enough of it. So in Cursed to Golf, you’ll start every run with some Ace Cards and a randomly ordered 18 hole course of beautifully hand-crafted levels/holes. Yup, we did not procedurally generate the holes, I just designed a ton (over 70?!) and gave them all a difficulty rating that scales across 18 holes, so that we can keep the challenge going all the way to the end and randomly pick from a pool every time you start a fresh run. We figured out pretty quickly that randomly generating a fair and completable golf course is not a good idea 😅. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/99d689478b304a37b039b161b7885cb8e5957247.jpg Ace Cards Every roguelike needs some loot and Cursed to Golf is no different. You get money of course, but what do you spend it on? ACE CARDS, of course! These nifty cards allow you to turn the tide back in your favor. Scattershot, Rocketball, TNT, U-Turn, Ice Ball, Practice Shot and a load more. They all serve to give you a chance to conquer the trials of Golf Purgatory. You start your run with a small selection, then as you earn cash, buy booster packs at the Eterni-Tee shops, and you’ll also win some based on your performance on each completed hole. Use them wisely. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/e0c55a0dd2a029277ed6aa9f3d42af162ef01775.jpg Death Ain’t no way getting around it, death is a prominent feature in roguelikes. In fact, in our one it’s so prominent we made it part of the story. After a fatal and fateful accident, you’ve landed yourself in Golf Purgatory and the only way to ascend out of there is to complete the devilishly difficult 18 hole course it houses. What happens if you fail? Well, you get sucked into a death vortex and spat out back at the beginning, losing your progress on the current course, your money and your Ace Cards in a loop that goes on forever until you succeed. Damn, that’s a tough break… Bound by Persistence Persistence is needed in any endeavor to succeed. And let me tell you, you’ll need persistence to beat Cursed to Golf. However, I’m not talking about that kind of persistence. I’m talking about what persists in between your runs in order to give you an edge. Say hello to the BINDER, this handy dandy little thing allows you to store Ace Cards. If you die, head back over to your nearest Eterni-Tee, open up the Binder and you can access whichever cards you happen to have stored there. It’s a crucial component in the long game. Pro Tip: You may want to do a few dummy runs to stock up on cards and put the best ones in the Binder until it’s full. Then die and take them all out ready for your ‘real’ run as you take on The Scotsman. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/1cd9e9f72be057080ea47abcf7098db515947b0a.jpg And there we have it, a fun little dive into the roguelike elements of Cursed to Golf - a ‘Golf-Like’ adventure where every shot counts™.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41143415/16b5fc107652fd07c032c89bb592966a840c88ea.jpg Greetings fellow Cursed Ones, I’m Liam Edwards, Game Director of Cursed to Golf. As you may have seen, we have released our first ever limited time demo of Cursed to Golf as part of the Future Game Show: Spring Showcase. That’s right, any budding golfers can cross the astral plane and spend the next few days honing their skills on the ghostly greens of Golf Purgatory! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4GgrP-O4qg From now until March 27th at 8pm CET, you all have access to the first biome of Golf Purgatory. This includes access to the Eterni-Tee Shop, the Practice Range, 4 randomly selected holes, an optional Cursed Hole and more. Grab your golf clubs, jump in your golf cart and get swinging! Who knows – maybe you can make it all the way to the 5th hole and first boss: The Scotsman! This burly bloke loves hitting epic drives that fly across the course. He’s the first true test of Golf Purgatory, so good luck against him, you will need it! One thing is for sure - there are also some really tricky holes awaiting you on the way. When every shot counts, mastery of the key mechanics in this ethereal spin on golf is needed. While the course may be devious, your Ace Cards are always on hand to even the odds, use them wisely! Plus, because I’m such a nice guy, here are a few helpful tips for you - straight from the factually ‘Best Cursed to Golf Player in the World™’. I expect that won’t be the case for much longer… 😅

Ball Spin - The tutorial section will introduce the ball spin mechanic. Due to the astral influence of Golf Purgatory, spin has more powerful effects than IRL golf. Controlling where and how the ball will bounce with careful use of spin can make all the difference, especially when you’re close to the flagpole.

Practice Shots - The Practice Shot isn’t just for practice! This Ace Card can be used in loads of different ways. Is a totem behind you or out of the way? Use a Practice Shot to smash it and the extra shots you earn from it will still count. Out of TNT cards and you notice a load of TNT blocking your path or concealing an awesome shortcut? Use a Practice Shot to explode it and it will stay that way.

The Practice Range - Speaking of practice, don’t forget to visit the practice range to hone your skills. Over there you’ll have infinite shots and Ace Cards to try out all manner of daring shots. Maybe try using two cards in one shot and see what happens?

Assess the Environment - Whether it’s propeller fans, TNT shortcuts or teleporters, each hole is filled with different routes to the flagpole. Use Birdie Eye to survey the environment and check which routes you want to take, just watch out for the hazards, too!

Use the Binder - In the Eterni-Tee shop, you have a card binder. Here you can store your Ace Cards, allowing them to carry over on subsequent runs. It’s a great idea to bank some really useful cards. Ready for use on a main run so you have every opportunity to turn the tide in your favor! Just remember that in the demo you can’t save your progress and quit the game. Your binder cards will only carry over during the same play session. That’s all I got for ya! Cursed to Golf is full of fun mechanics and extra treats which you’ll want to discover for yourselves. Download the demo now and experience the unique ‘Golf-Like’ loop we’ve created. Get a load of practice in, beat The Scotsman and secure a spot on the global online leaderboard! Who knows, maybe you’ll even be able to dethrone me - look out for ChuhaiLiam. Please let us know how you like Cursed to Golf! We are really looking forward to your feedback, whether here in the Steam Community, or on our Discord Channel. Looking forward to seeing you there! If you like the demo please follow the game and add it to your wishlist. That would really help us a lot! ❤️ May the fores be with you, hit ‘em long and straight and go low!
