Hey everyone, I hope all is well.
Valentine’s Day items are now live, I know its super early, but it’ll give everyone a chance to get their hands on them.
There are only 7 new items this time 5 hats and 2 trails due to work on the editor but don’t worry Easter will be a good one ;)
Have a great week and thank you for the support we have gone through all reports and are working around the clock to get fixes in, more cheat prevention and work on the editor! Please be patient we promise the wait will be worth it.
I also want to thank everyone again for the continued support, understanding and helping us in the development on gwyf, this is our first game and we have learnt so much! Thank you for being a part of this it means the world to the three of us.
Update 1.105.0
Hey all
Hope everyone had a great holiday.
Sorry for the delay on this build, holiday theme lasted a lot longer than it should have.
This update is to prepare the menus and UI pieces for the coming level editor, which is why it has taken some time considering we have rewritten the menu, leader board, etc. (also for team modes)
So please don’t be too mad at us we are trying our absolute best to get everything done, it takes a long time with only one programmer, also modelling and hand painting everything your selves. However, we hope it pays off in the end with a unique style, composed music (soundtrack release soon), a ton of themes especially for use in the editor and so much more.
Again, thank you all so much for the support and being a part of our first game!

Hotfix 1.104.2
Quick update
Sorry for the delay on this one, let me know if you still get this problem or if anything else pops up.
Changelog
[Fixed] Fin hat
[Fixed] Issue with game settings not saving
[Fixed] Weird bouncing issue on walls
Hope you're all in the holiday spirit!
Today we've got a small update for you guys and a bit of a dev update.
Holiday event!
During this month you'll be able to unlock a selection of new holiday themed trails and hats, we have made these more likely to drop than what their rarity shows, we'll more than likely extend this into the new year, so you have more time to pimp your golfing rock.
For people concerned that the creation of these items has halted progress on the level editor, fear not! DominantDino has solely worked on these items just as he did for the Halloween event.
Editor progress
The Editor is coming but we want a solid and decent editor before we release the first build.
I’m still learning quite a bit but also working on ways to prevent people from ruining games.
Check out our twitch channel for video of the editor in progress and other development related content.
Thank you!
From the 3 of us at Blacklightinterative we want to thank everyone for the support throughout this year and for the future, positive or negative feedback has helped us more than you can imagine.
As most of you are aware this is our very first game and we want to give you as much content and uniqueness as we possibly can, we will not stop until this game is amazing and has hours of content!
Happy Holidays!
Blacklight Interactive wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy Holidays!

Experimental build 1.103.0 | Pirate cove
Hello!
Hope you’re all doing well.
We’re releasing pirate cove into experimental as we’re heading to Pax and won’t be able to fix anything major, we think it’s better to not rush it to public just yet.
We are still missing sound effects, achievements and a few things.
Let us know of any bugs or suggestions here and we’ll sort them out when we get back.
Thanks for the help, sorry for the delay.
How to access this build?
Swap to the experimental build under the games Steam settings in the beta’s tab.
Make sure you’re not running the game when you do this.

Golf With Your Ghouls month long event + Progress update.
Hey Everyone!
As we all know Halloween isn't far away, so we decided to run an event all throughout the rest of October.
Don’t stress about the large download size, we are just getting files ready for the next level and level editor which now has over 300+ assets to use!
We were rushed a little for this update so let us know of any issues and we'll get them sorted as soon as possible.
Halloween
The event will run through October, We have changed the lobby/practice area to feel a little bit spookier (If that’s even a word) and we have 13 new hats/trails that are available only during this event!
EHMGERD file size is so large!
Its unfortunate but not all bad news!, the large file size is due to the amount of assets in the level editor and also the files for the next level.
Please don’t cut our heads off over the updates file sizes.
Next Map
The pirate level is nearly ready for testing :) I have hole 18 to complete and then we can push to experimental! who's excited?
Level Editor
You can now add spawn positions and hole detectors in the editor and test the holes you create from start to finish. Video
We are up to adding workshop support aswell as saving and loading local maps.

Update on progress
Hey all
Again we would like to thank everyone for the support it means so much to us.
Wheel and I have been working super hard and even mazaski has taken some time out of studying to help transfer assets to the editor.
Pirate cove (Name still unsure)
I currently still have the last 4 holes to go which may take some time considering what I want to have at the end, I still need to do a ton of assets for around the map and then we can test, add bounds, etc.
These shots are not the final look to the level there is still a ton to do and also a ton of visual things to go in.
Level editor
Here’s a few shots of some of the assets. We still have a ton more to add and will also be making more to include so there will be a lot of choice.
Sorry for such a short update but the rest is all programming and rather boring, on a side note im also working on the items for Halloween :) (Hats,trails,etc).
Heres a sneak peak of one.
We hope you all have a great weekend and we will keep smashing this out.
Thanks a bunch!
