MiniGolf Maker August Update

Hi everyone!

The August monthly update is here, and I've got a lot of stuff to share!

Desert Adventure

Desert-themed content is now available in the Course Creator! This includes new objects: Old desert town building sets, ruins, palm trees, and rocks, as well as new music, terrain grounds, skies, and wall styles.

To showcase the Desert content I have made a full 18-hole course, Desert Adventure, which comes standard with the game. You can check out a preview of the course on our YouTube channel:

Coming Soon
Standard Course Overhaul
It's undeniable that the courses that come standard with MiniGolf Maker have been very underwhelming. With only 2 or 3 holes each, I have seen many complaints about the lack of holes available out-of-the-box to play.

So, I have decided that starting now, every update (unless the update has new content with a new course) I will be overhauling one of the existing standard courses (Pirate, Medieval, Winter, Polyworld, and Dreamscape).

September Update
Finally, before we get to the change log, here's what I have planned for the September update:
  • Behaviors and Events Phase 3 - Mainly improvements to the Events portion of the system.
  • Course Atmosphere - Such as the ability to add ambient sound effects to your course.
  • Green Materials - Ability to change the material of greens to materials such as Sand.
  • New Power-Ups - These are a secret...
