Version 1.15.1 Now available
Hello again golf fans from around the world! I'm happy to say that we're back with a new update - version 1.15 of Super Video Golf is out now ๐๏ธโโ๏ธ๐
I've previously outlined new features as they were work in progress, which you can read here and here, and now I'd like to summarise all the new things included in the update:
Courses:
There are two new full sized courses! Nguyen Valley:
and Hertog Regis:
These courses are focused on more varied terrain, and carry far more hills and contours than existing courses. If you've been yearning for something a little different then these are for you!
Time of Day
There is now a choice between playing during the day or the night - when creating a game just select the Night Time option from the lobby menu. Night time mode includes an all-new lighting system, for added ambience.
Weather
Selectable weather! From the lobby menu it is now possible to select the weather conditions for the round:
Other Features
Text rendering in the game has been overhauled to better support non-latin alphabets, as well as adding emoji rendering. With that there is also a new in-game chat feature available in multiplayer.
In both the lobby and main game it is possible to open a chat window with Shift+F8 on the keyboard or the 'North' button (Y on Xbox controllers, Triangle on PS controllers), and via the emote wheel in game with West/X/Square on the controller.
Along with the new chat feature, multiplayer games have been enhanced with a Host menu - the host of the game can now poke idle players, forfeit their turn if they misbehave, or even kick them. Fortunately I've never had to use any of these yet ๐
The stroke indicator has been updated too. When lying in the rough or a bunker it will slowly move, indicating the increased difficulty of the shot.
Finally there is also a clutch of fixes and graphical enhancements - rather than detail them all, here is the full change list:
- Implemented particle emission interpolation
- Updated VATs crowd models with high-definition animations

That's it for this update - I already have plans in motion for the next update, however I'll detail those in another post. For now I do hope you enjoy all the new features, and don't hesitate to get in touch with any bugs or suggestions.
