Hello all,

I'm excited to announce that Resort Boss: Golf has just received a massive update, which introduces drivable golf carts, tournaments, wildlife, enhanced golf gameplay, improved camera freedom and more, along with countless bug fixes.

Challenge scenarios, driving ranges and putting greens are all coming in Resort Boss: Golf's next update, so watch out for news!

To celebrate today's massive update, Resort Boss: Golf is now available at 33% off! Offer runs until 19 May.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/869060/Resort_Boss_Golf__Tycoon_Management_Golf_Game/
Read on for full details on today's brand new features and various big fixes!




Golf Carts

Players can now build golf cart garages on their resort, which allows golfers to rent carts for their time on the course, giving you a new potential income avenue and allowing golfers to move through the course faster.

Players can also ride golf carts by right-clicking on the terrain to bring up the new context menu, which allows them to spawn golf carts and enter them (by right clicking on the golf cart).

There are 6 types of golf carts, each with varied handling setup and speed/acceleration attributes. Spawning a cart is free, but only allows you to run around the resort.



Tournaments

Players are now able to host and play tournaments! Tournaments will currently bring in extra revenue if you can make them appealing enough for golfers. They require a course to be setup, and are completely customizable. While the tournament is ongoing, regular golfers won't be able to play on that course. Players can also choose to partake in the tournament, and receive the cash prize and the trophy should they win.



Wildlife

A series of animals were added to the golf course! Buy ducks, turtles, alligators, and more and place them around your resort to beautify and add more interesting points for the golfers! More animals will be added as early access gets underway, as well as expansion of the systems.



New Golf Gameplay

The point and click golf gameplay has been augmented by power bars! Players will still use the old way of dragging the mouse to aim their shot, which will update a marker on the power bar giving players the location of where they should attempt to hit. Players will click once to get the power bar rolling, then click again to set the power, and click again to set the accuracy. There is also the possibility to add spin to your shots!

Golfer Emoticons

Golfers will now express their current feelings via emoticon popups after taking a shot or performing some action out on your resort. These will correlate to the feeling felt by the golfer when they have a thought.



Camera Freedom

Lowered the minimum rotation angle of the camera and increased the maximum zoom in distance so that players can get up and close to the action. Players are also now able to properly see the sky!

Hello all,

We have now launched a massive Resort Boss: Golf update, which focuses on making the game more dynamic. The game now features weather, including the rain effects seen in the screenshot above. Also introduced is a day/night cycle, alongside wind and the ability to place down bridges.






New Features

• Varied weather patterns that will bring more style and effect to your golf courses. Rainy days will reduce attendance; Sunny days will give golfers a happiness boost.
  
• Day night cycle to vary the look of the course. They function at a different pace to the game speed, and serve currently as cosmetic enhancement to the game.
  
• Wind has been added, uniformly with a marker next to the message button showing you the direction (which also rotates together with the camera to give you the correct reading). Some golfers are better at reading the wind than others.
  
• Bridges have been added to allow you to connect patches of land surrounded by water to the mainland.
  
• Path tool has been reworked to become easier to use.
  
• Added speed shortcuts, using keyboard 1, 2, and 3

Fixes

• Water now actually acts like water; balls that land in the water will splash, and the golfer will need to try again.
  
• Increased the membership count of Member's Lounge by 30%.
  
• Increased the staff count of the Staff Room by 25%.
  
• Golfers will no longer try to play from the edge of the water.

• Reduced the emissions of the water to make them less glowy
  
• Opening the menu with ESC now also pauses the game
  
• Players will no longer receive revenue from buildings if the resort is closed at the start of the day. They will still pay for maintenance.
  
• Golfers should now properly leave the queue.
  
• Fixed issue where players could complete the current hole by sinking the ball in any hole.
  
• Fixed issue that caused the tee/flag to be unaffected by the height adjustment.
  
• Potentially addressed the golfer tantrum issue by removing the function to make them rotate to face the ball. This will be replaced by a proper animation later.
  
• Added a sanity check to remove duplicate messages and thus avoid the infinite golfer spawn issue.
  
• Golfers will no longer sink near the water.
  
• RBG-293: Fixed issue with the selection of the building panel not being reset to 0, causing it to try and load a selection that wasn't available.
  
• Fixed issues where cancelling the path building would remove the path selection panel, and you weren't able to close the tool by clicking on the cancel button.
  
• Buildings will now no longer charge maintenance if they aren't yet built.
  
• Fixed issue where paths and bridges were sometimes not cleared when starting a new game.

• Fixed issue where visit result was checking for non-implemented buildings, causing it to fail when it should.

• Reduced speed of the paint tool, as it is too fast (ideally one click would make it go up 1) (added a delay between ticks for increasing the height. Also made it change the height on the first click, so that the user can now click and increase in steps)
• Implemented a better queuing system to prevent the AI from jockeying for positions
• Increased the WASD navigation speed over the regular mouse drag
• Added autosave and the ability to set the length of time between saves
• Added the water as a hazard for the hole. It will not be part of the play tiles, but it is taken into consideration by the hole attributes
• Added a drop down to filter the message types on the messages panel
• Added button to allow picking up the NPCs and dropping them elsewhere (in valid areas)
• Tree markers replaced with hologram trees for better visibility
• Increased ball size for better visibility
• Extended the time length of the ball's flight line
• Increased size of the bulldozer and snap buttons for easier usage/visibility
• Tiles with only one tree will not automatically be considered out of bounds
• Added an option to toggle the shooting debugger on and off (by pressing Z), as it's an useful feature at this point in time
• Added a display for the golfer's ball when the player selects a golfer currently playing the hole
• Added a bulldozer for the building accessories



Fixes

• Tee now rotates properly when loading a hole
• Golfers will now sink slightly when walking on the water or on the pool
• Golfers will now have proper happiness boosts based on their performance related to their expectations, calculated at the start of the hole based on their attributes
• Balanced the weights on the golfer brain script to ensure they stop hitting trees like absolute madmen
• Water and decorations are now being properly taken into account for both the Risk and the Difficulty calculations.
• Tweaked the happiness bonus from good shots to make the golfers less happy at the end of a hole
• Added a check to ensure no duplicate types of requests and visits will exist either in the inbox or currently active (ie: No multiple presidents visiting at the same time, no multiple requests for a hotel)
• Confirm delete save game window no longer appears behind the menu
• Fixed issue where the navmesh graph wouldn't update properly, causing bad navigation
• Added a placeholder image for the save games to prevent issues with the game taking too long to generate a screenshot causing a null reference
• Game will now check for tutorial completion when opening the main menu from the in game menu after completing the tutorial
• Decoration bulldozer now properly removes planned trees
• Save menu now has an option to deleted a selected save
• UI is now properly disabled when taking a screenshot for the save file
• Paths will no longer be placeable on green and fairway tiles, and are no longer considered OB.
• Fixed issue where opening the messages panel while having the terrain tool open would cause the main toolbar to disappear forever
• Lob Wedge now has proper distance compared to Sand Wedge
• Adjusted the tone of the golfer's feedback to match their result on the hole, as opposed to their happiness. Reduced some of the salt on their comments.
• Fixed issue where the terrain height tool would not update the planned terrain tiles.
• Fixed issue with VIPs usually hating the course, as they had a low happiness to begin with it was negatively influencing their experience.
• Fixed an issue with a race condition that caused the ballStopped bool to be reset to false shortly after being set true, causing the golfer to wait forever
• Tutorial for the playing of golf now acts as expected, and all clubs are unlocked if the player achieves a hole in one
• Retiring from a hole no longer stops players from playing golf
• Fixed the system to make the AI stop trying to reach its path when it reaches the destination. Should prevent AI from dancing around each other.
• Escape now only opens the ingame menu
• Fixed issue where a message could go corrupt causing the messaging center to no longer open
• Fixed issue with financial data from previous save being loaded, and fixed issue with monthly data disappearing
• Hotel rating, and restaurant/pro shop types are now properly saved.
• Fixed crash issue when the terrain tried to access a chunk that did not exist (out of bounds).
• Fixed issue with loading saves not actually loading saves; it would choose the correct file but not perform the loading operation, resulting in always loading the existing resort. No data was lost.
• Fixed issue with the animation of the golfers not playing at the correct speed.
• Water was being cleared as if the hole was being cancelled. It is now properly placed.
• Golfers were treating distance travelled as always a positive, even if they were traveling away from the hole, causing them to sometimes go back to the fairway when very near the hole. This was fixed and the weights were further rebalanced.
• Fixed incompatibility issue between the avoidance controller and the character controller, which resulted in bad avoidance calculations. Golfers should now avoid each other properly.
• Cancelling construction no longer gives the player money.
• Feedback was using the old method of getting the course par, which returned 0. It now uses the correct method.
• The data wasn't being saved properly as the data structure kept being overwritten every time a new building type was added. This has been fixed.
• Tutorial resetting now works as expected.
• Fixed expectation calculations for golfers on the hole, which was leading to lower happiness
• Fixed issue with golfers putting their balls into oblivion when there is a slope
• Fixed clubs not being available after completing the hole tutorial with hole in one
• Fixed issue with dragging height inside the hole causing the dragging height to stop working
• Fixed issue with the character panel sometimes showing the wrong information
• Fixed issue with the building hooks return null on some cases
• Fixed a crash on VIPs that wouldn't be able to progress to the next hole causing them to get stuck waiting for the ball forever
• Fixes an issue with unhappiness of golfers never being enough for membership thanks to a modifier whenever they hit inside the play area
• Fixes an issue with queuing up for rounds that caused golfers to think all holes were busy
