Development Build #5
Hi everyone,
I know I missed the last 2 weeks after having a streak of publihsing a Dev build every week, but what I was working on took a bit more time than usual.
I have received a fair number of reports of the online multiplayer not working properly, so I decided to take a major step toward fixing things by refactoring a lot of the gameplay code to improve functionality and cleanliness. I hope that the changes I have made have fixed a lot of issues already, but at the least the gameplay will be much easier to work on, similarly to the whole Course Creator rewrite (but on a much smaller scale).
Additionally, I have implemented the much-requested feature of being able to reset your shot, useful in case you get stuck. Previously your only option was to skip the hole, but now you 'R' on the keyboard or 'Left D-Pad' on a controller to reset your shot at the cost of 1 penalty stroke.
For the future, I currently want to focus solely on completing the in-game tutorials, so that I can call that done and not have it looming over me anymore. This will take up most of my time over the next week.
