Hey Golfers

We've had a spectacular night. You've completed so many challenges that our service has gone offline a few times. As a result, some of you did not receive your challenge rewards. But we've planned for outages, and you can still get what's yours by restarting the game. If this is not the case, please contact us. We have now implemented several fixes for service and game issues. But there are also some known issues that will be addressed soon.

Changelog

General - Fixed play menu not closeable - Fixed visual limit of coins (>65535) - Fixed names of items - Fixed putter not showing correctly after switching clubs - Fixed in-developement maps being visible (Pssst!) - Changed editor text style (looking for a better solution) Editor - Fixed magnets not being available - Fixed some editor lanes not being available - Fixed goal material not changing correctly - Fixed event water always using old material - Fixed underwater objects affecting the world

Known Issues

- For some players, Deep Blue's effects do not sound underwater - In some cases Mac users can't join or host server (on our Mac currently not reproducable) - Players may be kicked after downloading a map and will need to rejoin We've already received some fantastic feedback on our Discord that will lead to some quality of life improvements next week. Thank you for your interest after all these years and take care, Perfuse Entertainment

Hey golfers!

It's time for another update! Just before Christmas, we have a bag full of exciting new features for you. Let's dive right in. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/07d1f276e6a0e29baf732ab8491009a5ecf580b5.png

Audio Overhaul

After seven years on the market, we finally realized that there were absolutely no sounds in the game. So we decided to dub the whole thing, figuring it was better late than never. Now you can hear everything - the sound of your golf ball rolling on different surfaces, hitting things, the sound of the environment, the user interface, and much more. It is a completely new, immersive journey to play our official maps. Not only that, but all the sounds are also available in our map editor. We can't wait to hear what you're going to create.

Grassland Visual Upgrade

Our oldest and most iconic map is Grassland. It was created as part of our Steam Greenlight prototype and hasn't gotten much love since. That's why we've created over 150 new assets to make this map more visually appealing. Of course, all of these assets are also available to you in our editor. https://i.imgur.com/Ieez2eT.gif

Challenge System

Sometimes a game against friends is not enough of a challenge. For those times, we've created an all-new challenge system. It will provide you with new challenges of varying difficulty every day. Completing these tasks will reward you with coins and items that are sometimes only available there. In our new shop, you can spend your hard-earned coins on skins, trails, hats and more. https://i.imgur.com/Jr1c4Eq.gif

Additional Swing Mechanic

Staring at the same putter for over seven years gets pretty boring. That's why we've added a new type of equipable item - the putter. They are pretty rare, but be sure to check out your first Weekly Challenge, you just might be able to find one. To help you get even more enjoyment out of your brand new putter, we've decided to add a new, optional visual swing style. It's more like a swing and less like a train. Check our options and activate the rotational swing, but be careful, you might lose your skill. https://i.imgur.com/YXxB4En.gif Have fun and take care, Team Perfuse Entertainment {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/465b1a4761c4eb7f9803586b294d0658d2861c90.png

Hey golfers!

After six years and dozens of updates, we've decided to finally work on our bucket list and call it 1.0. Thank you for your incredible support, feedback, patience, and endless creativity. In six years, you've created more than 15000 unique maps, for which we are deeply grateful. It's been an incredible journey and it's not over yet. We're already working on our next update, so stay tuned. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/f9df11dde54d48199b8f3ec5da1265413ea1dd72.png

New Map: Deep blue

Update 1.0 sends you to the depths of a mystical ocean valley. Swim with fish, explore ancient ruins and master the physics of underwater golf. https://i.imgur.com/9yjQorW.gif This theme consists of over 500 unique objects, special physics, and other mystical features. All of this will be available in our editor. We can't wait for your underwater creations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/803bd0a38258b23dd74b8b5e9f85a9cb9e1ce9c6.gif

New UI

Redesigning the user interface was one of the oldest items on our to-do list. As the game has grown over the years, this task has become even more important. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/9343b9fb09f94d47247a7b83f32bb072ea057d8b.png

Terrain Editor

Another item on our bucket list, but also a long-awaited request, is a detailed terrain editor. A brand-new set of tools based on voxel data that will allow you to turn that boring flat terrain into any landscape you can imagine. https://i.imgur.com/QA8QTda.gif The toolset will be super easy to use - even on existing maps - and comes with different sculpting and painting modes. https://i.imgur.com/eX5DtUW.gif

Foliage Painter

Another new and very useful editor tool is the Foliage Painter. As the name suggests, it allows you to easily paint foliage into your landscape based on a variety of settings. This will save you a lot of time and even help to create a more natural look. Of course, you can also paint anything else. https://i.imgur.com/9SdZNgr.gif

Codebase Overhaul

Over the last year we have reworked almost the entire codebase, which has been by far the biggest challenge. It was essential to keep the game maintainable, ready for future features and to improve the overall quality of the game. Some visible results are lightning-fast load times, improved stability, and features like the new UI.

Gamepad Support

Initially, our putter movement was designed to require skillful use of your mouse. Later on, we realised that gamepad support and an alternative shot option were essential for accessibility. With our new user interface, we now fully support gamepads from start to finish. In future updates we would also like to implement modes for colour-blind players. We've also added an option to either hold or toggle the putter with the left mouse button or the right gamepad trigger. Feel free to try both methods as they may further enhance your experience. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/07f3233dd5f80c2a8b1dc901a172beb81de6b7b8.png

Languages

We are very proud that our game is played all over the world. We've supported many languages in the past, but often only partially. With this update, we've chosen 14 languages (Chinese, Czech, English, Finnish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian). We may add more languages in the future if requested.

Price & Currency conversion

Early on, we promised to keep the price at $8.99 per copy, even after we left Early Access. We are going to keep that promise, but for a few currencies we need to make an adjustment based on the conversion. This change will affect Argentinian Pesos, Russian Rubles, and Turkish Lira, and will take effect in a week's time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/978ee1d2fd3d4f5d1638fa8ead682fa89fb2846d.png

Changelog

Because we've done a complete code and UI overhaul, we won't list every change. This should be seen as a list of highlights. General - Added new map Deep blue - Added new music - Added reconnect feature - Added secrets to all official maps - Added special items for solving the secrets - Added new achievements - Added ability to change map from lobby - Added ability to start match even if not every player is ready - Added option to limit visuals of other trails - Added ability to select practice hole if map has more than 18 holes - Added new time-based race leaderboards - Added 100 new hats, trails, and flags - Added hole signs on every official maps - Added small aim arrow when spectating other players - Added camera transitions - Added loading screens - Updated to Unreal Engine 4.27 - Updated scrapping mechanics - Updated force field physics to be FPS independent - Updated gravity camera transition - Updated rendering method for better visuals - Improved racing mode - Improved game load times - Improved map loading times - Improved memory usage - Improved overall performance - Improved gameplay when playing with low FPS - Improved loading times of subscribed maps - Improved auto-update if custom map is out of date - Reset leaderboard and handed out crowns UI - Added icons when using gamepad - Updated UI visuals - Updated localization - Improved gamepad usability Editor - Added new terrain editor toolset - Added new foliage painting toolset - Added new theme to the editor - Added 750+ new objects to the editor - Added Underwater and ‘No water’ gameplay objects - Added object to test ball movement within the editor (Debug Ball Tester) - Added external camera object which the player view can get attached to - Added ability to have multi-line text - Added ability to customize FX effects - Updated editor menu to be significantly faster - Updated save menu for better readability - Updated auto backups to create up to five backups - Updated booster material to visually indicate speed - Improved map loading and saving times - Improved text to support special characters like Japanese Events - Added numbers to event list - Added events for external camera objects - Added event to allow timeout while rolling VR - Added option to toggle VR putter - Added option to add controller offset - Updated VR controls - Updated VR to support using both controllers automatically Bug Fixes - Fixed custom maps based on Jade Temple not being able to set time to night - Fixed Fog not rendering correctly on custom maps based on Jade Temple - Fixed river having visual cracks - Fixed trails appearing/disappearing suddenly - Fixed some auto-start events not working during race mode - Fixed crash related to event objects moving through players - Fixed teleporting event objects yeeting players away - Fixed putting sound only being played on one ear - Fixed minecart loop sound not looping correctly - Fixed numerous rubber banding issues - Fixed putter not getting removed when player surrendered - Fixed log files getting cluttered - Fixed some trail flags not being aligned correctly - Fixed trails not respawning correctly - Fixed audio volume not updating correctly - Fixed audio priority not working - Fixed waterfall causing major FPS issues - Fixed some lanes not changing theme materials

Hey!

Two months later, we are still paving the way for Update 1.0 – it’s just about time for another Dev Log. Today we would like to present to you our newest official map. It’s built upon a brand new, gorgeous looking underwater theme, which will be release with Update 1.0. https://i.imgur.com/9yjQorW.gif The underwater theme is going to be our largest theme with more than 500 unique objects, special physics and other mystical features. They will be available in our editor as always. We are super excited to see your creations. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/803bd0a38258b23dd74b8b5e9f85a9cb9e1ce9c6.gif Currently we are primarily fixing bugs and doing some quality-of-life improvements. With every week of progress, we are getting closer to leave early access. We know that you’ve waited a long time for this to happen, so we are working hard to finish the update.

FAQ

When will Update 1.0 be released? As soon as we can name a date, we will share it with you. As we already mentioned in our last dev log, we did an extensive code overhaul. These measures were not planned at all, but as it turns out they were urgently necessary. The results justify the decision, and we know you’ll love it, but we had to spent way more time than we expected. Will Update 1.0 be the last update? Not at all - we have already planned major features for future updates. Which is also a reason why the codebase of Golf It! changes so drastically. One feature you may already heard of will be: Editor 2.0. To speed things up, we’ve also hired a new programmer to start working our new editor. Take care, Team Perfuse Entertainment

Hey!

As we are still working on Update 1.0, we decided to release a series of dev logs to show you our progress and upcoming features. Our goal for this update is not only to release major features, but also to improve the overall quality of the game. That process takes more time than we expected, but we are constantly working to deliver the best experience.

Terrain Editing

In our first dev log we would like to present to you a new editor tool. With Update 1.0 we will satisfy the long-desired request for a detailed landscape editor. This will happen on a voxel base which enables you to turn the boring flat terrain into whatever landscape you dream of. https://i.imgur.com/QA8QTda.gif https://i.imgur.com/lfimhVL.gif The tool comes with different sculpture and painting modes and will be super easy to use – even on existing maps. https://i.imgur.com/eX5DtUW.gif

FAQ

Will Update 1.0 arrive by the end of 2022? To be honest, we currently can’t tell. We are working hard to deliver the update as fast as possible, while achieving our self-imposed quality goals. We have reworked almost the entire codebase of Golf It! to make it as stable and future proof as possible. These measures were not planned at all, but as it turns out they were urgently necessary. From now on we will post dev logs on a regular base to keep you updated. Will Update 1.0 be the last update? No. We have already planned major features for future updates. Which is also a reason why the codebase of Golf It! changes so drastically. One feature you may already heard of will be the Editor 2.0.

Today we released a minor update, which contains new editor features and several bug fixes. It’s also the last update till we are leaving early access. So, stay tuned for update 1.0 coming later this year. Remember that leaving early access doesn’t mean that we will stop pushing updates. We have plans reaching far behind Update 1.0. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/abd9965c8648274674b81dad1da62324d277e804.png

Custom Materials

If you are building your own custom map and no theme suits your level design, this feature is made for you. By navigating through the following menus “Editor > Importer > Materials”, you’ll find our new material editor. https://i.imgur.com/T912gCR.gif Inside the material editor you can create new materials by combining default and imported textures. These newly created materials can later be used inside the map editor to create your own theme. https://i.imgur.com/Xq2FnPU.gif

Next up Update 1.0

Today’s update is just a minor because we are actively working on our next major update 1.0. To give you an idea about what is coming, here is a list of features:

• New Theme
• UI Overhaul
• Terrain Editor
• Tournament Mode
• Better VR and Controller experience
• Proper support for multiple languages
• Switch to Unreal Engine 5.0 or UE4 4.27
• And more…

New Assets

UnknownMaster21, longtime power user and moderator, created over 600 new lane pieces and made them available for everyone. You can find them inside the “User Content” folder of our editors asset browser. Thanks again UnknownMaster21 for your awesome contributions! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/05e7152172c0755fab59ab317b89f5851f497489.png

What’s next: User Interface

Over the last couple of years Golf It! significantly grew in every aspect. But, as so often, our initial concept of a user interface doesn’t handle all the new stuff gracefully. Therefore, it’s time for a substantial rework. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll work on improving the user experience, by updating every single interface. If you want to follow the development, join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/perfuse Every now and then we’ll post a sneak peek and listen carefully for your feedback.

Roadmap

Our next stops are:

• UI Overhaul

https://i.imgur.com/nNVlfN9.gif After months of work we are close to release our first VR build. Something many of you requested since we have launched our greenlight campaign. And there is even more new stuff going to be included in Update 0.8.0. This update is all about preparation.

Engine Update

In order to deliver a better VR experience we had to update the version of our game engine. This time the update was awful, since it had a huge impact on the physical behavior of our game. To guarantee that every custom map still works as intended - which is our top priority - we had to put a lot of effort into this process.

So what is this update about?

This “pre” update is all about quality assurance. After days of testing, we are confident that everything runs smoothly. The only uncertainty is the behavior of your setup. That is why this update only contains the engine update and the following improvements:

• Significant collision improvements
• More consistent shooting behavior
• Scoreboard additions
• Spectator fixes
• Much faster update cycle

Editor Assets

With over 100+ new assets this update will enhance your vegetation. New trees, flowers, and tendrils allows you to build dense jungles and lush meadows. But beware of the flytrap... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/d9f93782cd6ec592f35fcf94628bf44b2bbdfdfa.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/6f951af0406adf7987b5e3278455006b28a7a48b.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/9730f7e433c49f0ee87ca89f1d869fe6e7d411c4.png

Post Processing

Another addition to the editor is post-processing, which can be bound to zones or applied globally. You can easily change the mood of your map by applying LUTs and post-process materials. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/ba2aad9b587a5e1f089d7ca06bec092fdb94b29d.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/27663206/d3f7289031c50d59f3f04c649eaef5cdadb4f6a9.png

Asset Update https://i.imgur.com/eMvyLnP.gif

Asset Pack

This update includes the first in a series of asset packs. It's related to food and contains more than 160 assets for the editor. By releasing asset packs like this one we try to support map creators with variety, creative freedom and faster iteration times. If you have any wishes for future asset packs let us know in the comments below or on discord.

New Game Mode

We've added a new game mode called Race, where the fastest player gets the lowest score. In addition you can swing your club even if the ball is still rolling - but watch out sometimes the ball is faster than your swing. It's rather experimental and gets improved over time - let us know what you think and what needs to be changed. https://i.imgur.com/QD1bbrB.gif

Every asset is designed with modularity in mind, to ensure you can be as creative as possible. https://i.imgur.com/48QH8D5.gif https://i.imgur.com/bAiubRR.gif Watch out, our new map is quite challenging, you'll need some training to get under par. ;) https://i.imgur.com/vN0IHqg.gif

Keybindings can now be changed, added and removed within the options menu. You can bind up to three different keys per action on keyboard and controller.

All the sweet treats are also available in our Editor. This is just a small content patch, since we are working hard on our next theme.

Lanes, Pipes and FX

This update contains several new lane pieces, which are perfect for small structures and compatible to our standard lanes (With special thanks to AlienYuNO). Besides that, we've added new connectors for ambitious pipe systems and lots of FX.

Skins, Hats and Trails

Furthermore, we added fancy ice cream hats, cozy fur skins and multiple flag trails. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27663206/26f9b007629ce9b140024be95d1dc3096ed7a257.png

What's coming next

We made good progress on our next official map. Asset wise the theme is complete, so we can put everything together at full throttle. We are going to stream our mapping-making progress soon, so you will be able to provide feedback. The stream will be announced on our Discord. Other planned features: - VR Support - Mac support - Expanding the Eventsystem - Better Controller Support - Keybindings

Engine Update

Finally, we had the chance to update our engine to Unreal Engine 4.19. Updating to a newer version enables a bunch of new techniques and performance improvements, which will contribute to our next updates. Performing such a huge update – we actually skipped 3 major versions - takes a lot of time, which results in a smaller changelog this time.

Persistent Lobbies

The first positive impact of 4.19 is, that we’ve finally managed to implement persistent lobbies. This allows you to stay in a lobby with all your buddies after finishing a map.

What's comming next

The new theme we are working on for several month is almost asset complete, which means that we are currently putting everything together into an official map. We still can't provide any estimation about the release date. Other planned features: - VR Support - Mac & Linux support - Expanding the Eventsystem - Better Controller Support - Keybindings

Country Flags

For each team perticipating the soccer world cup we've implemented a flag. Flags will drop like other uncommon items and can be equiped as trail.

In case you've missed it

We've made several small patches and hotfixes since 0.5.4. Here is a short overview, in case you've missed it: - User Experience Our usability efforts slowly bear fruit, as we continue to improve the UI & UX. This time we've strongly enhanced the "How To Play" section, by adding 36 video tutorials made by TheStreamLife. Another 20+ new tutorials will be added soon. Thanks again Zach for doing an awesome job. - Custom Sounds If custom music isn't enough you can now add custom sounds. They could be used like sound effects and also be modified by the Eventsystem. - Golfball Settings Once again we've enhanced our Eventsystem by enabling the access to golfball settings. When your golfball triggers an event its physics now can get altered, strokes can be added or your clubs can get changed.

Combined Changelog

0.5.4a: - Fixed Light sources not allowing manipulations to gizmos - Fixed not being able to get into multi select mode every time - Fixed World-Events not looping - Fixed TimeOfDay-Events not delaying correctly 0.5.4b: - Added Ballphysics/Clubs/Jumping to the editor for better testing - Added ability for Events to auto-play on hole-spawn - Fixed some options resetting - Fixed some issues with pipe placements inside of white connectors - Fixed some issues selecting objects - Various smaller fixes 0.5.4c: - Overhauled the HowToPlay section (Thanks Zach!) - Added performance mode as standard - Added custom sounds to editor and event system - Added ability to change fog in the event system - Various smaller fixes in game and editor 0.5.4d: - Added country flags as trails - Added golfball settings to Eventsystem - Fixed events firing twice

Skins and more, in Golf It! https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27663206/2d517207339b258bf20c69ac3625a764bb6f21e2.jpg

Skins

You can now change the skin of your golf ball - as soon as you got a new one. Skins are legendary items, thus the rarest. If you aren't lucky enough, don't despair, we've also implemented an item exchange system (inside the customization menu) for redundant or unused items. You can easily scrap them to get coins, which can then be used to buy new items. https://steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27663206/0a26c43fa52df00194a3ab29b1119b09b368a5c0.gif As you can see, some skins will still interact with the color you've chosen.

Unlimited Players

Allowing only 8 players to join a lobby was designed as a softcap to prevent network issues. The underlying codebase, however, is build up completely dynamic. Therefore we've decided to remove the cap and implement a "private" mode instead, to ensure that only your friends can join, without entering a password.

User Interface

In order to increase the usability of Golf It we've finally started to improve our UI. This update includes a revamp of our "Host Game" UI, which improves the overview over your subscribed maps and provides additional options to sort them. Furthermore we've added a new UI for excahnging items and slightly improved the "Search Game" UI.

What's coming next

We're working on a new theme for quite a while now, which consums a lot of time, since we are creating assets which are already optimized for our editor. We can't provide any estimation about the release date, but it's going to be huge. We've already created more than 200 unique assets, which will allow to build more beautiful and complex scenes.

Main Updates

We've finally added an Undo / Redo feature to our Editor. It works with all assets and almost every gameplay mechanic. It should make our editor easier to use and way more forgiving. Furthermore we've added an AddRotation function to the Eventsystem, which makes rotating objects more dynamic. Last but not least we've fixed some annoying bugs.

Gravitationzones

A feature we've eagerly awaited since release is to change the gravitation based on zones. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27663206/95ca86fd90233a72052562f28dadee1d5df9ef17.gif We're providing two different gravitation zones - a sphere and a cube. The cube will set the gravitation into a given direction. The sphere will set the gravitation in its center. If you set the gravity to 0 you will be in zero G and able to shoot in all directions.

Custom Music and Sounds

We know you are utterly in love with our music - especially on graveyard. But in case you wanna create a specific mood on your custom map you can now import your own ogg music. You're designing a forest themed map? You may wanna import some atmospherical bird chirping. Suddenly the player gets teleported to a beautiful beach? You can use our eventsystem to change the music to whatever you want.

Eventsystem Enhancement

We're really happy about the success of our eventsystem. There are already tons of use cases uploaded to the Workshop, which show us your inexhaustible creativity. Our goal is to restrict it as little as possible, therefore we are constantly extending the eventsystem. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/27663206/8db902022c57f8d8da7938cbac03e11629d87ea2.gif With this update the eventsystem gains control over some interesting map settings, for instance a dynamic day and night cycle. Besides the time of day you can change the theme of an asset, the background music or even the gravity.

Our Discord

We've created a Discord Server long time ago, but didn't tell anybody. Now is the time we are going to change that: https://discord.gg/TQqpYgR

Special Thanks

First of all, thanks to every player and mapcreator - you are truly amazing. Special thanks to: YuNO for pushing our editor to its limit and providing us with awesome bug reports. ekomanic for importing literally hundreds of custom assets and creating incredible artistic maps, as well as providing custom lanes and bug reports. TheStreamLife for streaming Golf It and moderating the forums - it's always fun and inspiring to watch. Rahorah for helping out in the forums and answering tons of questions. Take care, Christian & Jonas
