Hello again golf fans from around the world! I'm happy to say that we're back with a new update - version 1.15 of Super Video Golf is out now ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐
I've previously outlined new features as they were work in progress, which you can read here and here, and now I'd like to summarise all the new things included in the update:
Courses There are two new full sized courses! Nguyen Valley:
and Hertog Regis:
These courses are focused on more varied terrain, and carry far more hills and contours than existing courses. If you've been yearning for something a little different then these are for you!
Time of Day There is now a choice between playing during the day or the night - when creating a game just select the Night Time option from the lobby menu. Night time mode includes an all-new lighting system, for added ambience.
Weather Selectable weather! From the lobby menu it is now possible to select the weather conditions for the round:
And, to accompany the above new features, the Steam rich presence will mark in your friends list the time of day and weather conditions, using the appropriate emojis (that's a moon, not a banana, I promise!):
Other Features Text rendering in the game has been overhauled to better support non-latin alphabets, as well as adding emoji rendering. With that there is also a new in-game chat feature available in multiplayer.
In both the lobby and main game it is possible to open a chat window with Shift+F8 on the keyboard or the 'North' button (Y on Xbox controllers, Triangle on PS controllers), and via the emote wheel in game with West/X/Square on the controller.
Along with the new chat feature, multiplayer games have been enhanced with a Host menu - the host of the game can now poke idle players, forfeit their turn if they misbehave, or even kick them. Fortunately I've never had to use any of these yet ๐
The stroke indicator has been updated too. When lying in the rough or a bunker it will slowly move, indicating the increased difficulty of the shot.
One of the first things you'll likely notice in this update is the news page, presented when the game starts. From here you can follow links to the latest news posts, as well as to guides to playing or modding the game. Note, however, that this isn't displayed in big picture mode or the on Steam Deck.
Speaking of the Steam Deck, I'm also happy to announce that the game is now available as a native build for SteamOS ๐ง. The game should automatically update on your Deck, however if it does not then reinstalling it should trigger the update. A special thanks goes out to Kat for helping with the porting the game to SteamOS! ๐
Finally there is also a clutch of fixes and graphical enhancements - rather than detail them all, here is the full change list:

A special thanks goes to everyone in the community who has helped out with this update including, but not limited to, yourjaguarlover and Kat - as well as all the players who have joined in on Super Video Sundays to help test new features and provide feedback. Thank you! ๐
That's it for this update - I already have plans in motion for the next update, however I'll detail those in another post. For now I do hope you enjoy all the new features, and don't hesitate to get in touch with any bugs or suggestions.
