Weather + Volumetric Clouds!
-Incorporated new volumetric clouds in UE4.26 and weather effects alongside. The weather is all hooked up to the in game wind so rain and snow particles & clouds above will show you the wind speed & direction
-Weather does not have an effect on gameplay. You can select it when starting the round or leave it on dynamic and watch the weather shift during the round
Improved performance!
-when adding the new weather I started investigating different rendering modes, so basically performance is way better, especially at higher resolutions. I was seeing 2x the frame rate at 4k and 25% better at 1080p
4k screenshot at epic settings-2x fps
Leaderboards!
-added leaderboards for every course & layout, spit into the wind setting used. i.e. Cascades longs - front 9 - high wind
-view these on the course select screen when you have a course selected. they should also be viewable from the community hub once I update the backend
-the par 2 course is keeping leaderboards, but not visible in game just yet. will have to reorganize the layout to incorporate that
-Oh yeah, leaderboard scores can be set at any skill level(doesn't have to be on the save file), and any player in multiplayer
Bug Fixes
-lots of random bugs, notably the infinite putting bug in multiplayer and discs blocking other discs in multiplayer. at least I think I fixed that last one, let me know if it still happens
Next few days/week will be fixing a long list of bugs I have written down from users on Discord, and anything else that will pop up.
Enjoy!

About Me
Having been a gamer since playing Civilization 2 on my parent’s Macintosh, when I started disc golfing 8 years ago it didn’t take long before I looked for a game in the style of classic golf games, but with the unique flight and challenges that come with disc golf. When I realized that game didn't exist, the idea of creating it myself stuck with me until I finally downloaded Unreal Engine 4 and started learning the engine to make it. This is the disc golf game I want to play, and I am always taking recommendations from other players who feel the same.- OS: i dunno...linux?
