Super Video Golf Progress Update
Howdy golfers!
With 1.18 out the door, it’s time to look ahead to see what’s coming up in Super Video Golf, so let’s get started!
Foremost I’ve been working on a new mini-game for the clubhouse arcade (assuming you’ve figured out how to unlock it 🙃), called Scrub! Scrub! is a QWOP-like (or a stick-waggler, if you prefer 😉) where the aim is to wash, or scrub, as many golf balls as you can. If you’re familiar with almost any golf course in real life then you’ll probably have come across a ball-washing machine, where you place the ball in the handle and pump it up and down, and it’ll clean the ball. Scrub! is based around one of these ball-washers , generously modeled and donated by Hello Games and Valve veteran (and good buddy!) Josh.
In Scrub! you use two keys (or controller buttons) to insert and remove a golf ball from the washer, and another two to move the washer handle up and down. They say a picture speaks a thousand words, so here’s (approximately) a thousand pictures 😅
The cleaner your balls are when the time runs out, and the more balls you scrub lead to a better final score. Scrub! has full integration with Steam leaderboards too, so you can compare your freshly scrubbed balls with your friends and strangers alike.
Beyond the minigame I’ve been planning out some new features for 1.19, as well as curating a long list of QoL updates and rule tweaks based on player feedback. Nothing is set in stone yet, however, I’ve yet to experiment with my ideas, so I’ll not outline any new features here, at least not until I know if they’ll make it to the next update. My main goals though are at least one new game mode for freeplay, as well as a new single player mode (on top of the QoL changes and rule tweaks).
I have updated the beta branch, however, so if you’re keen to give Scrub! a go you can do so by switching to the 1.19 beta in Steam, by right clicking on the game in your library and selecting the betas tab. There you’ll find a drop-down which will let you select the beta version of the game.
As always I’m open to feedback so make sure to jump into the discussions, the group chat or Discord if you have something to share and I’ll do my best to take it all on board.
That’s it for this post - hopefully next month I’ll be able to share some more concrete details. Thanks again to everyone following along with Super Video Golf, and especially the wonderful community who make it such a joy to develop for. Do go say Hello over at the Super Video Clubhouse Steam group if you haven’t already, especially if you want to join in on the multiplayer action.
For now though, happy Scrubbing! 🧹
