Halloween Event
The Halloween event is now live! We have hats, trails and floaties to collect until oct 31st!
We would like to thank everyone for the insane amount of support from our lovely community and we are blown away by the number of amazing maps that have been created. We have a secret idea we may possibly go ahead with to reward popular map makers but that’s very hush hush for now.
We have 10 new Halloween items for 2018, Please remember that these items are only obtainable this year much like the 2017 Halloween items.



Level Editor
Skybox's and Music

Currently the editor is still in an early stage I have added a few new assets and in the coming months I’ll be focusing on fleshing out the current themes, Terrain manipulation is on its way :) we currently have a very rough version working but its going to take a while to flesh out.

But what's new in this update?
Skyboxes and music, finally!

To access these just press escape then use the sliders, just don't press exit :) sorry about that.


Floaties!
Finally, we have floaties in game, currently we only have 10 floaties but I will be adding more as we go.
As for skins they may be a while off due to the amount of work needed on the level editor and upcoming theme.

Where have you been?
Hey all!
We apologize for being MIA for a while, we didn’t have all that much to show for last month due to working purely on the editor but here’s what we are currently up to.
- Updated unity to 2018! (soon we will be able to make shaders and cool stuff a lot faster).
- Base foundation of the editor is done!
- 3 of the 6 themes are fairly populated with assets.
- Currently in the process of getting an office (this means we can possibly hire more developers!) the 3 of us are extremely excited about potentially growing our team, however this wont be for quite some time.

PLEASE READ!
Yes, the editor works, but it's still rather buggy so please save your maps often, things may go wrong so please be patient and we will get fixes out when we can, for now the editor is for you all to play with and get creative. We wont baby you with the editor because we know you are all intelligent human beings, however a tutorial will come along with many stability fixes and new assets to work with!



What is in the editor so far?
Glad you asked, currently its bare bones but useable (fingers crossed) this is early access and including everyone in this process will help us fix and evolve the editor as it progresses. (NOT ITS FINAL FORM!)
- One terrain (grass). No terrain manipulation just yet.
- 6 themes with 3 being populated a lot more than others.

What’s to come?
We have many crazy ideas and things we would love to add but here is the current list of things we still need to add.
- Music selection
- Skybox/theme selection + terrain type
- Terrain manipulation (painting and sculpting mountains, etc.)
- MORE assets for the current themes
- Even more themes!
- Special asset items
- Currently I have taken animated animals, etc. out but they will return
- Game mode types
- Heaps more! But ill keep them a secret for now!

Known issues
- Possible issue with mac saving and loading maps
- Sometimes controls may freeze up in the editor
- You need to save before you publish
- Camera sometimes removes itself
- Items getting stuck when scrolling
- Some objects dont rotate
- Location, rotation and scale numbers dont update when initially placing objects
- Pars dont update in the editor
- No way to adjust custom settings just yet

Hello Everyone!

Super sorry for the delay, ran into issues that needed to be sorted out.

Testing Developer made workshop maps! No editor just yet :(
So, a few of you might have noticed the GWYF workshop visible with a few maps on there, these are made by us to test the editor.
In this update you'll be free to play these but expect a few bugs, we'll sort these out over the next few days.

We will also be adding more to each of these maps until they are full 18hole courses along with other maps for testing.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone in the experimental build for testing extremely glitched versions for us.



Once this build is stable I'll be finishing off the editor so you all can make maps, you can check out the progress every week on our livestreams here.

Late Easter items
Due to the delay we have officially changed Easter to today, we have 5 items and will run the drops until the end of May.



Changelog
[Added] Workshop menu
[Added] Ability to play workshop maps
[Fixed] Par popups flashing on screen
[Fixed] Hockey achievements
[Changed] Selecting map now automatically takes you back to the lobby
[Changed] Tons of assets have been re-worked and fixed for the editor

Known issue
- Scaling of UI elements is off for different ratios

Hey everyone
Yes, its another boring news post.

We are still hammering away at the level editor, obviously we would have wanted it out months ago but building an editor from scratch does take time.
However not much longer ;)
As stated in the last update we have most of the foundation built for the editor there’s just a few annoying glitches and things to add.

Video example
Here’s a terrible video I threw together tonight to show 5 holes being made in the editor (yes they are bad) also excuse my video editing skills :)

https://youtu.be/cK0fJAkCSEM

Assets
A lot of themes are now in the process of receiving even more foliage, course pieces, Etc Which again takes a very long time, (model asset, sculpt details, bake said details, paint asset, make prefab in unity) the whole process takes quite a while and we would much rather build everything in house so you get a unique experience worth your money instead of buying hundreds of assets that dont match and every other game uses.



Once I feel the 6 themes have a substantial amount of assets to work with I will be working on new themes, so please let me know what you’d like to see. And yes space is on the list :P
Here’s a list of themes id like to look further into
- Space or space station
- Volcanic
- Actual golf courses
- Tundra/Snow
- Carnival
- Medieval

But we want the editor now!

Now I’m not saying we will release it sooner but there may be the possibility of us either releasing some workshop maps we have made for players to play in the mean time or exposing our closed beta testers (mainly our moderators) to the editor and allowing them to make you maps for now… however, I completely understand how unfair that sounds.

Easter Event

Another thing to note is I am currently unsure if I will have enough items for the Easter update, so please do not be too disappointed ill make up for it during Halloween.

I just wanted to do a short update to stay transparent with everyone :) also please join us on twitch 10am AEST ( Australian Eastern Standard Time) every Tuesday we show off new stuff and the editor :) - https://www.twitch.tv/blacklightinteractive

Hey all!
Sorry for the lack of updates recently, the main reason behind this is the progress on the editor, I also want to thank you all for your patience and for still supporting us! We are working all day every day and understand the pain of waiting for things you want super bad, This weekend we have to fly across the country for a wedding and i think you are all entitled to know whats going on and when we are out of the office (tiny room in our home xD).

We will still be working while over there (book work and sketching) so don’t stress too much!

So, what is to come?
We now have workshop working with the ability to save/load and publish maps to the workshop with images (taken using cameras in game) Publishing maps takes no time at all maybe a second or two and downloading maps also only takes a few seconds which now allows players to join custom workshop maps instantly.




Assets?
We currently have 5 themes working and will have 6 very soon once the Graveyard set is ready.
Along side the assets we already have in the classic game we now also have a ton of extra assets which is super exciting, these items also include revamped old assets such as the housing in forest!
;) There will be hundreds more to come as well!



Forgive my terrible map but this is a quick example of what you can currently build, We still need to work on backgrounds, skybox’s and more visual assets to flesh out the environments.




So whats left?
Currently we need to get the loading of maps working in the game so you can play multiplayer, a lot of bug fixes for example scaling of objects is glitched but still works with T and drag, we want to include a CTL-Z feature hopefully that wont be too difficult and we also want a butt load of assets per theme so there is a huge variety for you all. :)

Fingerscrossed all of this goes perfect and we dont run into too many issues but as usual i cannot give an ETA on the next update or the editor due to everything being trial and error.

Hockey achievments will come next update!
I want to thank you all for the support and for waiting this long, we know its taking a long time but this is our first game and there is only 3 of us making everything from scratch. it will be worth the wait!
LETS SMASH THIS OUT! :)

Hey everyone, I hope all is well.
Valentine’s Day items are now live, I know its super early, but it’ll give everyone a chance to get their hands on them.

There are only 7 new items this time 5 hats and 2 trails due to work on the editor but don’t worry Easter will be a good one ;)
Have a great week and thank you for the support we have gone through all reports and are working around the clock to get fixes in, more cheat prevention and work on the editor! Please be patient we promise the wait will be worth it.
I also want to thank everyone again for the continued support, understanding and helping us in the development on gwyf, this is our first game and we have learnt so much! Thank you for being a part of this it means the world to the three of us.
