Minigolf VR
Minigolf VR now open sourced
As most of you have probably figured out, development on this game has ceased. Due to poor sales. the multiplayer servers have been shut down and no further development has been done in quite a while.
This announcement should have been made earlier, and I sincerely apologise for that.
So what happens now?
First off, I'm reducing the price of the game to 99c, as Steam won't let me make it free. If you've purchased it recently, definitely go for the refund.
Secondly, I've now open-sourced the project files, so that anyone can build and play the game if they have the right tools and assets. The files can be found here: https://github.com/Zaeran/MinigolfVR
And that's about it.
Thanks to everyone who bought the game, and I hope one day I will get to develop something even better for you all :)
Local Multiplayer Revamp!
First off, it turns out local multiplayer has been broken for the last week or so. When I launched the Oculus update, I accidentally left in half-finished code for the local multiplayer revamp, so it broke it for a while.
Anyway, on to the good news! Local multiplayer is now fixed, and is much more versatile. Also, this update enables local multiplayer on the Oculus Rift version of the game.
When playing with more than one player, you'll find the added 'swap player' option in the main menu, as seen here:
Hitting this will swap to the next player, saving all progress that the current player has made. This means that you can choose to swap players after each hole, after each course, or at completely random times, and have it all work smoothly.
Happy minigolfing!
Oculus Rift Single Player now live!
Those of you with the Oculus Rift CV1 can now play MinigolfVR using your Xbox Controllers! Both the Vive and Rift modes are contained within the same build, so your HMD will auto-detect and input will be set accordingly.
At this stage, only single player is supported for the rift, as there's quite a bit that needs to be fixed in the multiplayer before it's ready to go. In the meantime, feel free to play as much as possible, and give lots of feedback so I can make the RIft version even better!
Happy minigolfing,
Nathan
Local Multiplayer now live!
Development has gone MUCH faster than I was expecting, so local multiplayer is now available in MinigolfVR.
Any non-multiplayer lobby will now have a 'number of players' button in the options menu, which can allow up to 4 people to play on the same HMD. After each player finishes a hole, the next player will be up.
Let me know how it goes. I'm considering changing it from 'swap on hole' to 'swap on course', depending on feedback.
Enjoy!
P.S. You can see the new game mode here: https://youtu.be/amYWj9Q9hV0
Deathmatch Update is now live!
MinigolfVR’s deathmatch game mode is now live! If you’ve got the game, feel free to jump in and try it with your friends.
Deathmatch mode brings Minigolf-meets-Mario-Kart style gameplay, giving players item pickups that allow them to mess with other players.
Also, I’ve now implemented a ‘Move directly to ball’ option for those that asked. Simply open up the menu and hit ‘move to ball’.
The next big update will feature local multiplayer, as it’s been the most heavily requested feature. I should be able to have it out within the next week. I’ll also be starting work on a new course, which I hope to have out by the end of the month.
CV1 support has been temporarily delayed due to Home only being installable on C:/, which I don’t have room on. Once I can install it elsewhere, I’ll be starting development of the CV1 version for Oculus Home.
MinigolfVR progress update
I've been hard at work implementing Deathmatch mode. The good news is that it should be out sometime in the next week. Two at the absolute most.
V1 of Deathmatch mode will feature the following items
- Grenade - Used to push balls around
- Smoke Bomb - Obscures sections of the course
- Fan - Blow balls around, clears smoke
- Airhorn - Makes a loud noise. Useful for distracting people
- Party Popper - Creates distracting confetti
- Levitation pad - Makes it easy to hit the ball over obstacles
