Golfing In Aether Update Released [1.1.1]
For this update I’ve gone and tidied up the LODs of the various wall meshes, especially from the point of view of when you look at other islands. Now you’ll be able to see the actual brick detail rather than the previous flat surface appearance, there will also be more stand-out detail such as the white of pipes preserved. Originally the game did look similar to this if you played way back with the Next Fest Demo but there were a few generation problems that required fixing.
The size of this update is due to every single wall mesh, and every single island lod mesh being reworked. Numerous meshes got improved collisions or fixes to minor problems found. This was absolute ton of work, but it does make the game look so much visually better.

In other news Golfing in Aether now has native support for Linux in open beta. As this is relatively big news I’ve made a separate blog post about it. In essence all users are opted in automatically, and you will find a native Linux version available when running on Linux.
If any of you have feedback, suggestions, or ideas about the game I’m always happy to hear them :)

Patch Notes
[h2]General[/h2]
- Fixed some initial back-end startup behavior to be compatible with Linux.
- Fixed various back-end compatibility issues with Linux.
- Added improved initial player collision detection. You will need to move just over a meter away from a player before collisions will enable, this is really to account for latency or when stuff doesn’t behave as it should.
[h2]Environment[/h2]
- Added improved collisions for several wall meshes.
- Added improved LODs for every single wall mesh.
- Added improved visual quality to other islands.
- Fixed some walls out of alignment on ‘See you on the other side’.
- Fixed some elements absent from island lods.
- Fixed various issues to support Linux.
