Our team has been hard at work for over a year to refactor our base game code, allowing us to develop and innovate exciting additions to the game that will fundamentally enhance playstyle. We are pleased to announce our new Game Modes included in all courses, alongside our expansive remaster of Cherry Blossom, is out now. This update is free of cost for all players.
Rediscover your Zen by revisiting our Cherry Blossom course in full bloom.
Additions include:

• Updates and expansions to lighting, environment, creatures, interactables, and more.
  
• Select instruments have haptics and audio hookups.
  
• Fox Hunt clue changes to adapt with environment changes

New Gameplay Styles

Walkabout Match Mode

• Enjoy Walkabout’s spin on Matchplay! The player with the lowest score on a hole gets a point– players can tie for points. Most points wins.
  
• Note: Players who intentionally leave a Match cannot re-enter. Our team is developing more safety nets for players who accidentally disconnect.

Race Mode

• Players will putt simultaneously to see who can complete the course the quickest!
  
• Note: Players cannot join a race late, and will be put into Observer mode.

Custom

• Choose your own game mode, holes and turn order.

Honors (Standard)

• The player who scored lowest on the previous hole gets to putt first on the next.

Distance

• Whoever is furthest away from the hole gets to putt first.

Simultaneous

• Players can golf simultaneously in traditional strokeplay rounds as well as Race Mode. Simultaneous turn order is not available for Match Mode.
  
• Note: Due to technical and design constraints, we don't have any current plans for supporting real-time multiplayer ball collisions.

• We have added new UI changes to our wrist display, Welcome Island shack, and scorecards.

Users must update to the 5.1 version of our game to maintain a smooth gameplay experience and to utilize multiplayer rounds together. Given the extent of this update, it will NOT be backward compatible with older build versions.
Quest / Rift: 5.1 | 27604
SteamVR: 5.1 | 27604
PICO: 5.1 | 27604
PSVR2: 27604

We thank everyone who supports WMG and golf with us. Good luck on the greens!

In the latest patch 1.2 (available for base game and DLC), the lone typo has been fixed. Also, the game has been updated to use the latest version of Ren'Py.

Thank you for all of your ongoing support! :D

This one took a while, but the UI Update finally releases today. It’s more than just UI changes though, 1.40 marks a milestone engine upgrade to Unity 6 and the end of Early Access. This update tidies up many loose ends with fixes and improvements and paves the way for improved workflows for both developer and modders.


The entire game UI has been rewritten using a data-driven approach. Although most of the interface will structurally look similar to before, there’s a better separation of presentation and logic as well as stylesheets to provide unified theme management. To put it bluntly, future UI work won’t be painstaking as the old component-based workflow and should perform better as an added bonus.


The World Builder had major rework and optimizations done. I still need to do another styling pass to resize things a little better but there’s generally more safety and sanity checks than before. You shouldn’t be able to set item counts or chance percentages outside valid ranges and there’s better error handling so modders should have a more stable mapping experience in 1.40 overall. There’s new enum support built in too so the State property on vehicles should be updated on old maps or else all existing vehicles default to Unlocked.


1.40 makes some small gains in modding capabilities, both in scripting and asset modding. Some more code was moved into GameSource for modding like the Consume event which handling everything from healing to reviving players. Each player character can have a custom carry capacity (which can be modified by clothing like backpacks). Also guided projectiles have a FlareEffectiveness property that lets modders set how easily they can be spoofed by countermeasures. There’s also an updated AssetBundleBrowser/Builder in BPResources though this is an optional upgrade for modders.


The last version was plagued by physics issues for a long time now. Everything from cars bottoming out to spastic motorcycles should be fixed in this update (fingers crossed). Player fixes such as some rotation weirdness and corrupted ragdolls should also be fixed. There are still some lingering engine bugs that may or may not cause issues, so I’ll be listening to the community for feedback on this.


Hit registration (i.e. confirming valid hits on the server) has been cursed since the very beginning. The problem was relying on the engine physics system to handle bullets and collisions. But since the physics timestep runs on different intervals to the main game loop, this causes all kind of timing issues and irregularities. The calculations have been rewritten on the main game loop for accuracy and it should be more performant as well without the extra physics components.

Thanks to everyone who stuck around for this long trek out of Early Access 🙂

Power Drill

• Hidey-Ho Mode cooldown reduced by 10% after hitting a Survivor with Slice & Dice. (was 15%)

Automatic Screwdriver

• Missing a Slice & Dice reduces Hidey-Ho Cooldown by 8%. (was 10%)

Dev note: Currently, The Good Guy's Power incorrectly starts to recharge as soon as the Slice & Dice attack is started rather than after it finishes, making his Power recharge much faster than intended. This will be corrected in the near future. In the meantime, we have toned down these Add-Ons to make sure they don't get out of hand. They will return to their normal strength once this is resolved.

You already have the updated demo! Countless Army demo will be updated today to include all the new changes that I’ve talking about this weeks.



I’m proud to bring you the new demo today to let you try all the changes. The new wave system, that changes the gameplay adding more strategy and variety. The life system that makes the maps more complex. The implementation of speed x4, a new visual change of “lvl” for numbers of the stats to make it more clear when you want to upgrade a troop… All of these changes will be added in a patch note to everyone that wants to read it.


I hope you all like the new changes and the direction that Countless Army is taking, making it closer to the final version. Very soon I’ll like to bring an updated trailer to show in a video the changes.
