Hello everyone!
If you haven't tried Urban Explorer Golf yet, this is your chance! UEG will be on sale for a whole week starting July 15th with a whopping 75% discount!
That's right, you will get hours of joy for a price less than a coffee.
On a personal note: I worked really hard on that game and I would love to have more people playing it, because even now that it is the game's first birthday (Release was about one year ago), I think it is still worth a try.
So please do youself a favor and play the game, and please leave some feedback or make a video about it.
Thanks and have a nice Day!

With a new price comes a new responsibilty :-)
Hey there!
You might have seen that Urban Explorer Golf is now available for a lower price. Although I still believe it is worth the price I had set at the beginning, sales and the non-existent feedback speaks another language.
So here we are at a lower price now, but still the same cool game. Please give it a try and if you have any feedback, problems or ideas for future content, use the steam forum or write me directly (steam@dievolution.com or @dievo on twitter).
I tried to have the new DIEVOLUTION website ready when the price got changed, but steam was a bit too fast, so expect the brand new DIEVOLUTION Software website with a new blog and much more information later this weekend.
Thanks and have a nice day / weekend!

After Launch, Gray Market Keys and Press Requests
Hey everyone,
now that the launch day(s) are over, it is time for an update:
Launch
First, thanks to everyone who bought the game, you are awesome! If you want to, please write a review for the game, we are missing a few :-)
I think you all are aware that the launch did not work well. I hoped there would be more traffic from the steam ecosystem and also more press/youtube/twitch coverage. Creating games is hard, but marketing games without a budget is almost impossible.
Gray Market Keys
I've noticed that keys for Urban Explorer Golf are available for a low price on the gray market key seller sites. If you want to support me, the developer, don't buy them there. These are keys that should be for press coverage, not for sale. If you have bought a key there, please send me a mail (don't worry you can keep the game)
Press Requests
Because of the gray market issues, I've decided to only give out keys to press/youtubers and twitch streamers that either don't use a gmail email address or can prove that they are the press outlet/youtuber/streamer they claim they are.
Future
I will provide patches for Urban Explorer Golf as needed, and I will continue making games. However, the next game will be completely different, I will try to build a community while developing the game and it somehow has to be financially solid during development.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Now available (with a 20% launch discount)!
Here we go!
After over 2 years of development, hundreds of hours of programming and trying to draw something vaguely resembling a human body, I am pleased to announce that Urban Explorer Golf, your new favourite physics based puzzle game, is now available!
Thanks to everyone involved in the project, especially my former colleague Daniel and our music guru Marco.
And now that my oscar acceptance speech is over, let’s hit some balls! And if you need any help, find a bug or just want to leave feedback, just send me a message.
Thanks and have a nice day in Urban Explorer Golf!

Launch today!
Hey everyone!
Today is the big day. I will release the game today. Since this is my first commercial steam release, I don't exactly know what to do and how. I'm aiming for a release around 4 pm CEST. Maybe I'm even throwing in a twitch stream for some fun around release time. We will see!
Content Creator Keys & Embargo
Hey everyone!
In my latest mail to the content creators I forgot to mention that there is NO EMBARGO, so if you want to stream the game, release a video or an article, feel free to do so. Just send me a message with the link, thank you!
And if you are a content creator and you want to stream the game, make a video or publish an article, just write me (steam@dievolution.com) and I'll arrange everything.
Have a nice day!
Thomas
PS: The floating player bug should be a thing of the past now :-)
UEG will be available in two languages at launch, more to come!
I'm happy to announce that localization has been added to Urban Explorer Golf. On launch, the game will support English and German. After launch, I'll plan to add more languages. While there are not many text elements in the game itself, it is still not easy to translate everything on the normal indie developer budget. Which is 0. There is a thread in the forum now where you can add translations for your languages, if you like to help.
Thanks and have a nice day!
Launch Date
Hey everyone!
After over two years of development, I'm proud to announce that Urban Explorer Golf will launch in 20 days!
It was a bumby road to get to this point, and I'll write the "Story of UEG" in the next days and post it on the steam forums. But finally, the game is in a state where it can be launched, is fun, and also has enough content to keep you playing for more than 15 hours. And if you want to ace every level and find all the hidden extras, then double it :-)
If you like to review the game or stream it on twitch, please write me a mail to steam@dievolution.com and I'll hook you up with a key and press material.
In the next days, there will be more material about the game, a new trailer, and much more interesting content. Also, we will start a naming contest for our green alien guy! Stay tuned for more!
Thanks and have a nice day!
