Hi everyone,
Apologies for having to skip last week's update, but to make up for it we have a big update for you this week! There are some really cool changes and additions that we think you will enjoy (along with bug fixes, of course).
Changes are as follows:
Multiplayer
- Added text chat to Game Lobby
- Clients disconnecting mid-game no longer breaks the game
- Fixed player names in the scoreboard being incorrect
- Fixed Power-up effects not going away when the player finishes a hole
- Fixed controller input being lost when returning to the main menu
Course Creator
- Greens are now no longer restricted to the grid
- Added ability to save custom prefabs via the right-click context menu
- Walls now generate corners and end caps. Greens must be merged for corners to generate between separate pieces.
- Added some Scenery objects, such as trees and bushes
- Improved object selection and positioning
- Improved Snap To Surface
- Improved the lighting on flags
- Increased size of object thumbnail icons
- Removed Return to Lobby button when playtesting a custom hole
- Modified custom course save files to include metadata
Unfortunately, with this update previously made custom courses will no longer be editable or playable. Please keep in mind that this may happen throughout the course of the Beta, but once we are out of Beta we will ensure that future updates do not break custom courses.
As usual, you can discuss the Beta in our Beta Discussions Subforum.
Regards,
Road Turtle Games Team
