Golfing In Aether Update Released [Alpha 1.8.1]

This is a follow-up from yesterdays update with a few small fixes and some additions too. Included is a new mid-game level and some changes to how resetting works.

Drop To The Left...

Added is a new mid-game level featuring the new mover obsticules from yesterdays update. Theres a handful of ways you can complete this one, but getting the Hole-In-One can be tricky.

Reset Changes

A change made means you now have to hold the reset button for a few seconds in order to reset. There are rules to this, for instance you wont have to do this when already on the Tee (you also can't reset in this state, but I'll get to that in a minute) or in practice mode, which will remain as before. Also added is a tweak to how resetting is handled when you are already on the Tee in a session. Instead of 'Resetting' and giving you a stroke penalty, it will now just reset your orientation/position. If you have moved from the Tee, then standard one stroke penalty will remain. These changes don't effect practice mode and are just about giving visual feedback / tiding things up for people pressing buttons not knowing what they are doing. If you are enjoying playing the demo then please add the game to your wishlist :) https://store.steampowered.com/app/1914980/Golfing_In_Aether/

Patch Notes

General

Added improvements to the reset button turning it into a hold-to-reset. This does not need to be held in practice mode.
Added change to reset behaviour in non-practice modes when on the tee. You now cannot /reset/ when on the tee, but your orientation will be reset at no cost to strokes as you havent moved.
Added new mid-game map Drop To The Left.
Fixed a potential back-end xp handling issue relating to the hole-out.
Fixed a couple of paths relating to the particle effects.

Unique overall course layout for each session. Golfing In Aether accomplishes this through having each of the holes being its own independent floating island. The game will choose these at random from a pool at the start of a session and procedurally create the overall course layout.
Get-together with friends in sessions supporting up to 16 players online and 4 players locally. You can take any additional local players into online sessions with you. Online sessions also support joining as a spectator.
Freedom to choose different modes such as playing together in real time (local players use split screen) or taking it in turns via hotseat.
Compete against ghosts in practice mode for the top spot in an individual level with both global and friends only leaderboards.
Replay your previous sessions via the session replays feature. This allows you to spectate previous sessions you've played with options such as being able to see from another players perspective, use free camera, and the ability manipulate playback rate.
Customize through a range of color-pickable designs for your golf ball. Five designs are available from the start with others being unlocked as you earn XP through playing and level up.
Accessible with full gamepad support through the inclusion of an on-screen keyboard and ability to create local player profiles for saving any customizations, player names or gamepad settings.
