Greetings, Dearest Goblins!

On March 8 – exactly 6 days from now, our game Goblins of Elderstone will be coming out of early access and will be released. And for that, we have some great surprises over the coming 6 days, so stay calm and don’t forget to follow us on all social media platforms so that you don’t miss a thing.

Today we introduce Heroes of Elderstone, one of the longest-awaited features of the entire project.
- Go to the new Tavern building, where you will find a roster of available heroes to hire from, the heroes you
get to pick from change regularly, so check in often.



⮚ Their main objective is to lead treks, give big bonuses to your party, and have much better stats than
regular governance.

Reginald Walters.
- Born to a normal farming family, Reginald often worked in the fields and fended off wild animals and Raiders.



Luis LTC.
- A curious Gnome with nimble fingers who grew up enjoying dismantling things but not
necessarily being able to rebuild them.



LYN.
- A tiny, kind-hearted Fairy who likes to sing and smell the flowers.



- This is it for now. We will continue next time. Remember to check back this time tomorrow for another preview!
- For a complete list of Heroes, you can check our Dev Diary 2 on YouTube .
Let us know which Hero you prefer in the comments or on our Discord server and why. Peace out✌.

➤ Surprise .😉🎁

- Team Goblins of Elderstone

Fixes
• Optimized loading of the ritual rooms to reduce lag spikes

Greetings all! Welcome to another progress update - this time for the next release, version 1.11.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out via the various community portals. I've been working hard to incorporate all of your great suggestions (as well as squash any bugs that have been discovered), in order to package them all up for the next release. If you've previously suggested a new feature but don't see it mentioned here - don't worry! There are so many great ideas that they won't all fit into one update, which means a few have been pushed back to update 1.12. As this is a progress update it also only highlights what I've been working on - there's still more to add before 1.11 comes out, but I won't be mentioning anything here if it's not yet implemented.

With that out of the way, let's dive right into the list of new features which are implemented and ready to go!

Putting
One of the most noticeable changes is to the putting, both in mini-golf and on the full scale courses. Flat greens have been remodelled so that they have much more interesting and slightly more challenging topology. The game's rendering has been tweaked slightly to help highlight the lumps and bumps on the green, as well as the grid overlay having its resolution increased, so that it better follows the contours of the ground. You'll also find I've implemented an oft-requested feature - balls now roll!



The increased range of the putter in the last update resolved the issue of not always being able to reach the hole, however it caused new problems when making a short putt. This has now been addressed, and the putter will automatically scale itself depending on the distance to the hole. Long putts will use a 10m/10yd putter, and shorter ones will use either 3 or 1yd putters, once the ball gets close to the hole.

Also when putting the overhead view has been updated with icons to highlight the position of each player's ball. A small arrow will appear to display the ball's relative position to the hole, and the stroke indicator is now also visible, to help with aiming.




Other Improvements
There are many other smaller quality of life adjustments now implemented, such as the updated power bar, which is not only wider for more accurate shots, but delineated so that it's easier to see what kind of percentages you're aiming for. The yellow direction indicator on the mini-map also has these delineations, so it's possible to get a good feel for how far the ball will travel for the given amount of power.



And, yes, aiming has been unlocked 😁 This has been one of the most requested features, and it is now possible to hit the ball in any direction you choose.

The drone camera has been updated too - using the right controller stick it is now possible to take control of the drone camera to get an overview of the current hole. In both manual and automatic modes the trees and vegetation will now fade if they occlude the drone's view.

Beach courses will now let the ball land in the dunes without penalty. Previously they would act as if the ball had gone out of bounds - now the default behaviour is as if the ball landed in a bunker.

The effect of wind on the ball has been refined so that it is far less apparent on lower and weaker shots. Lofting the ball up high when driving will see the most effect of the wind, with very little effect now applied when chipping onto the green.

And, as a purely cosmetic touch, the clouds have been replaced with full 3D models. This means that they react properly to skybox lighting as well as, quite frankly, not looking like a pixelated butt 😅




XP System
The XP System has been enhanced, with new items unlocking at specific levels. New clubs are added to your set every 5 levels, and a new ball is unlocked every 10 levels - for a total of 5 clubs (rounding out the set to 12) and 5 balls. For each unlock there is a new animation, played when entering the lobby.



As well as unlocking new items, XP will increase the range of each club above a wedge, first at level 15, then again at level 30. Eventually you will earn a full set of clubs and be driving the ball down the course like a pro! 😄


Workshop support
Initial workshop support has been added for custom balls and custom hairstyles / head wear. I've included tooling in the game itself for uploading models to the workshop, a guide for which will be made available once the update is released. I've also made sure to upload a selection of new items to kick things off.




Finally...


And, in other news, Valve have reviewed Super Video Golf for Steam Deck compatibility and marked it as Verified! This means that Valve themselves have given the game their seal of approval on their hardware - so now you can golf on the go!



That's all for this post - there's one more feature I'd like to add to 1.11, and some polish left to do... however it shouldn't be too long until 1.11 is released. Make sure to follow here or @TrederiaGames on Twitter for the latest updates. See you soon!

《蜀山：初章》重楼工作室
2023年3月3日

The event will be broadcast online on April 29 and you have a chance to be invited! Just send us a recording of your most stylish & creative run on the 540INDY Slopestyle course. A panel of experts will decide who will be invited to the finals, where you will compete live in front of a top-tier jury of pro snowboarders.

• Film a top-to-bottom run on the 540INDY Slopestyle course. Real-time gameplay, no replay. No cuts, no reshreds, just one continuous run.
  
• Ride the 540INDY Slopestyle as is. No custom features.
  
• When recording, hide the HUD (in Settings). The game’s scoring system is not taken into account for selection.
  
• For PC Shredders: no mods allowed, sorry.
  
• Video specs: 1080p Full HD min 30fps H.264 MP4
  
• One entry per person.
  
• PRO TIP: In the finals, you only have a few attempts to put down your best run. It is advisable to focus on lines you can reproduce with confidence rather than trying tricks you only land once in a million times. It's all about creativity, style, and flow!

To enter go to https://shreddersgame.com/invitational. Be sure to submit your clip by midnight PST on March 9!

After trial and error; The World Class store page is now up and running! Even though the game is not available for purchase, this opens a lot of options for the upcoming release, play tests, and more. There are a lot of features that become available once this stage has been hit. Since we are trying to be as open in development as possible, it allows us to connect even more to the community! Below are a few questions and answers to explain what the next steps are.

Discord: Link

• How do I play World Class?
  Just keep an eye out for a Play Test on the store page! Right now just Concept Crew Members have full access when a Play Test is not currently going on. These are people that are constantly discussing with developers during the early stages of creation. More info on this can be found on the discord server.
  
  
• What is a Play Test?
  This is when we open the game up for testing for the community for free. Most of these will occur during the Beta and Alpha stages of the game. There will be some Concept Release play tests as well in the near future! Keep your eye out because we will announce them here or in our Discord server!
  
  
• How often do you Play Test?
  As a currently Solo Developer it will vary quite a bit. Depending on the features currently in development, testing the online portion of it is necessary to make sure replication as well as reliability of these said features work for as many (if not every) persons possible. So if we have a lot of online features coming up, expect some play tests to to be scheduled.
  
  
• Do you plan on going Early Access?
  Only when I feel the game is ready. I know that feels vague, but this would be somewhat close to actual release. I would prefer to keep Early Access toward the end of Beta and use the Play Test feature to have the community test and check out World Class.
  
  
• Is there going to be DLC?
  Eventually the addition of DLC content would be great! However I do not intend on saturating the game with pay walls and pay to win content. The addition of new content would be part of the base game unless we are adding significant amount of content. Such as new continents with story lines and dungeons. Any cosmetic items can be made or found in game as well. All item bundles bought in store will not be pay to win items with stats but simple cosmetic attire that will be marked as bought in description to put a difference on those that took the time to find/make it in game.
  
  
• How many classes will there be?
  Honestly we are trying for a more classless system. Learning skills/abilities will be based on what you do in game and what you choose to focus on. This means if you use swords you will rank up your sword skills. If you use a fireball you will level that spell. As the game evolves more information will be available.

Update 1.1.86 has been released to all platforms!

The previous version featured a bug during the 'mantra' sequence in session 2. That has now been fixed.

More importantly, 1.1.86 is now available for all versions, including Macs! Going forward, all updates will ship out to all platforms at the same time now that we have a consistent method to compile builds on Apple systems.

With that issue resolved, we're aiming to begin development on some more ambitious updates to Syntherapy that will add more content to the game. We'll have more information on the content of that update available in the coming weeks!
