| Update 1.1 | 2024-12-05 | 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. 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 |

| Update 0.8.0 pre | 2020-09-23 | 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 |
