Happy New Year everyone!
Kevin here. So, we have been teasing our version 2.0 update for a very long time now, and I am thrilled to finally announce that Version 2.0 of MiniGolf Mania will be released on February 1st, 2019.
Here's the run-down of some of the things you can expect from this update
The Arcade course will be removed, and the previously teased Pirate course will not be added. Creating these kinds of courses takes a lot of time, and I feel that this time would be better spent making the Course Creator into something truly awesome and innovative. However, I will be providing at least one Course Creator course made by me, and it will be available on the workshop by the time of the release.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COURSES CURRENTLY ON THE WORKSHOP: Unfortunately, due to the magnitude of the changes that have been made to the Course Creator, courses currently on the Workshop will no longer work, and the Workshop will be completely cleared by the time of release.
The intial release will contain 5 Content Packs for the Course Creator, with more to come in the future: Pirate, Dreamscape, Medieval, Winter, Arcade
The Low Poly content will no longer be available, but it may be added back in a future release if there is a demand for it.
Ability to easily create bridges and loops using the greens and walls systems.
Ability to have walls that are not attached to a green piece.
Ability to add water to your course.
Automatic grass vegetation on certain ground textures (which can be disabled if desired).
Ability to add ambient sound effects.
Completely rewritten and vastly improved multiplayer, now with the ability to have up to 8 players total (up to 4 local players).
Two new power-ups, the Rocket power-up and the Random power-up, with more to come in the future.
Many bug fixes and general improvements on all fronts.
What to expect over the next month
Consistent communication has been one of our biggest problems so far. To rectify this, I will be posting at least 1 update every week, showcasing the features of the upcoming release.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your continued support, and I wish everyone a great 2019!
