Today I want to share some screenshots of the upcoming free expansion coming later this year which you can find listed below as coming soon. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2999530/Golfing_In_Aether__Cauldron/ Please note that this is work in progress and not due to release till sometime in Q3-Q4 if everything goes to plan, which is to coincide with releasing console versions of the game which have been in development for some time.

Level 'Cauldron'

This is the fifth free expansion, featuring ten levels, two of which will be feature the new volcanic elements, and the rest will be an assorted mix to bring further variety to the game including some new mechanics or hazzards. Shown above is the titular level which is one of the new late game ones. This features a volcanic cauldron you have to navigate your way though and offers some distinctive scenery and hazards.

Upon reaching the first hole you will be transported to the lower portions against the lava flow. Upon finding your way through you have to make a large jump back out to safety, where you'll find the final goal. This level, like all in this expansion, works with all existing themes so can be played in Autumn, Winter, or Dustbowl appearance in addition to the default Spring.

Level 'Scorcher'

The second volcanic themed level in this expansion features a river of fire you have cross. You can either make use of the floating boulders (which move down river) for a tricky shot or take safer longer ramped route. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2293060/Golfing_in_Aether__Leviathan/ This expansion will be similar in setup to the third free expansion, Leviathan, where the focus is more on having distinct new environment elements rather than a specific overall level theme. When adding lava as part of levels I wanted there to be gameplay here that couldn't already be done with the existing water and this level is a good example of that.

Coming later this year

There will of course be more levels than previewed here in the final expansion release which is still quite a bit away, so I may do further teasers including to show off in detail some new gameplay mechanics / hazards that some of the new non-lava levels will feature. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2999530/Golfing_In_Aether__Cauldron/ Just to repeat, this expansion will be entirely free, and you can wishlist today to be notified of its later release.
