Hello Golfers,

I am thrilled to announce the release of v0.8.0, a major update that brings exciting new features and improvements to Multiplayer Platform Golf!

This is a cool update featuring 11 brand new themes, giving the game a fresh and vibrant look. Explore these new themes and see how they transform the atmosphere of your levels.

Here is a demo of the new themes:

You can now import your custom 3D models into the level editor. This feature opens up endless possibilities for creativity, allowing you to design truly unique and personalized levels. You can import hundreds of thousands of models from Sketchfab or poly.pizza as GLB file format, or create your own custom models using free tools like Blender, Blockbench, or MagicaVoxel.

Here is a demo of importing custom 3D models:

It’s been just over a month since I released the level editor, and I am blown away by the community’s response. Over 100 levels have been created and shared by players! I’ve had an absolute blast playing through these levels, and the creativity on display is incredible.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has shared feedback and reported bugs. Your input is invaluable and has played a crucial role in shaping the game. I couldn’t have reached this point without your support.

- Add importing custom 3D models to level editor
