Join the Modifiers Public Beta

Hi,

You can test out the new course modifiers feature right now! I've also been working on a number of bug fixes and tweaks that will be rolled into this release.

Course Modifiers

The course modifiers are a whole new set of items that you earn by reaching goals during the game. You can save them up and select them at the start of a round to make the course more fun, more interesting, and usually a little easier.

I'd love to hear your feedback, and to try it out you can switch to the public test branch right now on Steam! Here's how to do it:

Right click on your game in the steam library, select Properties, and navigate to the Betas tab on the left. Then from the dropdown box select "modifierspublicbeta". Steam will update the game with the new build for you!

Once you've had a play with the new feature, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it. Let me know via the in-game feedback form, on the discord, or in the comments below.

Bug Fixes

I've made a lot of changes for this new build, including fixing a number of outstanding problems. These will be available on the default branch when I fully release the modifiers feature in two weeks. Here's the full list of changes:

• The Estimator now reflects off the pond socket obstacle.

• The aim preview no longer jitters across the top of jumps.

• Teleport drops the ball correctly on the surface of lifting obstacles.

• The Estimator now shows a range of possible outcomes, depending on your hit speed.

• Weekly Challenge no longer crashes if you're the first to report a score.

• The Woods Course is now grassier.

• Gimmie Hint changes colour to be more readable on different coloured surfaces.

• The default aim direction is working better.

• The City course is now slightly easier.

• Higher level obstacle unlocks are now easier to reach.

• Prettier main menu!

As always, here's the roadmap of bugs and features that I'll be addressing, and I'm always open to new ideas. Let me know what you'd like to see!

Happy Golfing,

Philip
