Howdy golfers! Welcome once again to another progress update, where we take a look at what’s on the horizon for Super Video Golf. Last month I covered some of the new workshop features coming in the next update, and I’m going to continue that trend here.

Following on from the custom flags, I’ve updated the Workshop to support two new types of item: first you can now add new club models to the game. These are merely cosmetic, but it does mean you can choose anything from a set of pro clubs (which glow in the dark!) or something a bit more fanciful 😅

Secondly, I’ve added the option to create new voice sets for your avatars. Voice sets are also now re-assignable in Super Video Golf, so you can choose any one of the installed voices as part of your player profile. There is already a selection of voices available in the workshop, which you can test out by using the public beta.

I’ve also updated the workshop tools to allow creating these new content types which, again, is available in the public beta. Hopefully the tools are fairly intuitive, however I’ll be updating the content creation guides on Steam in due course, which will cover how to use the new importers.

Beyond that I’ve been spending much of my time refining and polishing quality of life features - for instance it’s now possible to adjust your controller’s analogue deadzone in the options menu

Also along the lines of the controller input, I’ve fixed some glyphs such as the Playstation controller icons not appearing correctly in Big Picture mode, as well as displaying the correct controller on the options menu, instead of the Steam Deck icon.

Further menu updates include the League Browser which now properly shows the final results of a league once it is completed, instead of resetting the scores. These won’t reset until you play the first game of a new season.

Other than that the update is more or less feature complete - I shall be spending the next week or so sanding off as many rough edges as I can find, in preparation for the release. Thanks to everyone who has been offering feedback either in the chat, the discussions, or over on Discord. As I mentioned above, the update is available in public beta, so if you want to give it a try and share your input, please do! I’m always happy to hear your thoughts.

Until next time, as always, Happy Golfing! 🏌️‍♂️⛳
