Hello folks!
As is traditional with the larger updates I like to follow up with any feedback from the community and just buff off any rough edges that make have eeked their through - and with 1.16 scarcely out of the rear view mirror, this update aims to do just that.
There were, fortunately, only a couple of small crash bugs, related to randomising player profiles. These have now been fixed, as well as a few new quality of life improvements having been thrown into the mix.
Updated Controls
Firstly I've revived and revamped the analogue swing controls (the "Swingput") so for those who prefer it over the traditional 3-click method you can now enable it from the Options menu. Briefly; once Swingput is enabled, during the game press and hold either one of the controller triggers, so that the swing meter appears in the bottom right hand corner of the UI. With it held (letting go will cancel the shot) pull back on one of the thumbsticks and hold it as the power bar charges at the bottom of the screen. When you have enough power push forward on the stick to take your shot! Timing of the the stroke is all important, as is direction, both of which will affect the accuracy of the outcome. If this sounds like your thing then make sure to head on over to the Driving Range to practice!
UI Improvements
While we're on the course, I've added the option to be able to zoom into to the mini map which is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. Press F6 or press and hold L3 (left thumbstick button) to toggle the zoom. Hopefully this helps when playing on smaller screens or laptops.
Some users were reporting that the main menus were confusing, and that not all the buttons were obvious, or for which reason they were there. I've attempted to rectify this a bit by colouring all the buttons a consistent blue colour so that it's more obvious that they do something. In the Profile Editor buttons now also offer an explanation as to what they do at the bottom right of the menu.
Here's the full list of changes:
- Updated Free Play lobby to make it more obvious that its possible to change courses
- Updated Swingput method
- Added option to allow toggling Swingput from control options
- Added reading input from secondary controllers when one local player exists
- Added switching profiles in Free Play mode with keybinds for previous and next club
- Added switching courses in Free Play lobby with keybinds for previous and next club
- Added hints for buttons in Profile Editor
- Added zooming minimap by press-hold left stick/F6
- Fixed possible crash when randomising player avatars
- Fixed possible crash when creating new profiles

Super Video Golf can be played either as couch co-op with up to 8 players using 1-4 compatible controllers or the PC keyboard, or online with up to 8 computers connecting to a single game. Super Video Golf can also be played as a combination of both allowing up to 16 players in a single round!
Players can customise their characters with a range of designs, hair styles and balls to choose from, with more available in the Steam Workshop. Computer controlled players can be added to a game either to fill out a team roster, to practice against - or simply to pit against other CPU players while you watch and relax. CPU players feature adaptive skill, so as the player's level increases, so does the challenge!
Solo features of Super Video Golf include Monthly Challenges which start at the beginning of each month, as well as a club league where personal progress is pitted against CPU players. The league consists of 24 round seasons, with awards given for top 3 placement and CPU players whose difficulty increases to match the player, season by season.
The clubhouse also hosts all the player's personal stats, such as time spent on each course, the player's score history and any awards received from completing monthly challenges and winning the league.
Every month a new set of leaderboards are created so players can compete around the world to win trophies for placing anywhere in the top 3. Player stats are tracked and broken down by year, month or week and can be viewed from within the clubhouse.
Steam Workshop support means that it is easy to find new customisation options such as new balls or head wear, and even upload your own creations to share.
Super Video Golf supports a wide array of resolutions, from as low as 640 x 480, all the way up to the latest UHD ultra wide displays. Full controller support means that big picture mode is fully supported, ideal for couch co-op play.
