[p]Introducing: CocoVision Camera[/p][p]📸 In partnership with LIV— the makers of creator kits for VR— our team is happy to unveil our latest addition to Walkabout Mini Golf for players on LIV-supported platforms (Quest/Rift/Steam): CocoVision Camera. This in-game camera offers players a new toolset for capturing Walkabout content, notably:[/p]

• [p]Camera Capture to Gallery: Media is directly exported to players’ gallery.[/p]
• [p]Quick Stills and Videos: Grab pics, clips, and longer-form video as you would from a phone or tablet… in hand, positioned on the course, or floating nearby![/p]
• [p]CocoVision Selfies: Say cheese! In addition to a forward-facing mode, selfies allow players to talk directly to the camera. [/p]
• [p]Locking and Offset: Not only will players be able to capture a first-person view, they can now offset and lock the camera over their shoulder, adjacent to their avatar, or even to a random point in the course to capture gameplay and hijinks alike.[/p]
• [p]Motion Smoothing: This key feature solves a prevalent issue for platform-level camera capture: unstable and erratic views. Whether in first person or offset positions, the CocoVision Camera can have motion smoothing applied to ensure smooth pans and pivots, and quick actions such as flying.[/p]

[p]Read more details and the guide on our Updates page.[/p][p]NOTE: CocoVision Camera is only available on platforms where LIV is supported. CocoVision Camera is currently exclusive to Quest, Rift, and Steam.[/p][p]NOTE: CocoVision Camera is experimental.

[h2]Features and Fixes[/h2]
[h3]New: Putter Selection Updates[/h3]
Following the ball tray update in v5.5, our team has revamped our putter selection system!
The new putter display includes a holding rack and introduces pagination to slim down concurrently viewable putters. Most notably, we now display a generic ghost putter for any undiscovered putters; all putters have a hotlink to their associated course, making it easier for players to know which foxhunts they need to complete.
[h3]New: Loading Screen Tips[/h3]
We've added tips and tricks to the Coconut loading screen for your reading pleasure.
[h3]Shack Course Listing Reorganization[/h3]
With the inclusion of more courses in our base game, we have rearranged the Shack course display with an updated front-page view and a new "Classics" listing page.
[h3]Pocket Edition: 'Upside Town' Now Available[/h3]
Players can now putt through this gravity-defying cityscape while on-the-go.
Mobile Players, ICYMI: Check out our new 'Standard Mode' gameplay!
Standard Mode is our new vertical-only, non-gyro mode that relies purely on swipe-and-tap and pinch/pull motion for players to navigate and play. This mode sets players into a locked camera position behind the ball and allows for a smooth, casual gameplay experience.
[h3]ICYMI: New Activities and Modes[/h3]

• New slingshot stands are available in Sweetopia 🍭 and Zerzura 🏜️
  
• New player scale and gravity customizations for Tourist Trap 🏴‍☠️

[h3]Attention Golfers[/h3]
We advise golfers visiting Sweetopia to ensure their equipment is clean of confections upon exiting the course, lest they attract pests!
