Super Video Golf 1.18 Released

Hello Golfers! Welcome once again to another update announcement for Super Video Golf. Last month I touched on the new features included in this update, particularly the new Flop and Punch mechanics as well as the integrations with Steam's Timeline feature for video recording. Since then I've been working mostly on quality of life updates to the UI and menus, as well as a lot of technical groundwork for future updates. The biggest change to the menu is the updated character editor, which now allows you to add two items of headwear at once to your avatar (usually a hair cut and a hat, but what you choose is up to you!) as well as the ability to fine tune the position, rotation and scale of items, for a truly unique look:
The new menu can be found by clicking on the hat icon in the Player Customisation menu. And, as before, your fancy new headwear combos are sync'd across network games (including Workshop items!) so other players can all enjoy your style and flare Thanks to player feedback I've also reworked the Options menu so that it's less cramped, and added a selection of new options to enable you to further customise your Super Video Golf experience:
The new options include:

  • Exclusive Full Screen Mode: when this is enabled Super Video Golf will take full control of your monitor and set it to match the current active resolution in Full Screen. When it's disabled the game runs in Borderless Full Screen at your current desktop resolution.
  • Toggle Larger Power Bar: Previously when playing on Steam Deck the power bar was automatically increased in size to help compensate for the smaller screen. This can now be toggled on any platform, including setting it to small on the Steam Deck if you so desire!
  • Decimate Power Bar: This splits the power bar into 10 sections of 10% gradations, which some players are more accustomed to, as opposed to the quarters and eighths used by the Range Indicator.
  • Decimalise Distances: This will display all distances as a decimalised metre/yardage instead of switching to centimetres or inches when at close proximity to the current target.
  • Audio Device Selection: If multiple audio devices exist on your system it's now possible to select one explicitly from the Options menu
There are also 4 new achievements available to compliment the new features:
[hr][/hr] Hopefully this update doesn't seem too light on new features - as I mentioned above a lot of the work I've been doing is technical groundwork for future updates, which, with any luck, will soon become clear I've also worked hard on performance, particularly on making the most of modern processor's multi-threaded architecture, for marked improvement particularly on the Steam Deck. Here's the full list of changes:
  • Added new hair models courtesy of Vincent Page
  • Added new avatar voice set courtesy of Paul Bell
  • Added option to have 2 different hair/hat models at the same time
  • Added option for shiny materials on hair models
  • Added support for Steam Timeline events

  • Added option to display distances as decimal values instead of smaller denominations
  • Added option to select audio device for playback
  • Added Nemesis display to Career scoreboard
  • Added remote clients can now see avatar rotation in network games
  • Added ability to take punch or flop shots
  • Added ability to take one mulligan per hole in career mode
  • Added XP reward for fairway and green in regulation
  • Added multi-threaded render pre-processing
  • Added displaying total daily streak on Unlock Screen
  • Added Screenshots taken with F5 now copy the image to clipboard
  • Fix balls no longer stop on steep slopes when rolling
  • Fix mouse click no longer overrides CPU input
  • Fix Match, Skins and Elimination games automatically end when all players but the host quit
  • Fix making new unlocks available without restarting the game
  • Updated workshop tools to import headwear models with shiny materials on the second channel
  • Updated freecam so that fast move is now togglable
  • New Achievement: Punch It Chewie
  • New Achievement: Top of the Flops
  • New Achievement: Fringe Benefit
  • New Achievement: Try, Try Again
As always all comments and feedback are welcome! Get in touch via the Discussions or the Group Chat - and if you're looking for someone to hang out with in a multiplayer game or two head over to the Club House! That's it for this update - stay tuned for info on upcoming new features, but for now though, happy golfing!

  • Super Video Golf is a 90s styled turn-based golf game, with 8 player local and network support. Super Video Golf features a variety of full sized courses, pitch 'n' putt courses and mini golf - each of which can be played in a variety of weather conditions, day or night! It has a tutorial mode and a driving range for offline practice, with full online leaderboards for both the courses and driving range. Reaching specific milestones will unlock features such as the clubhouse or the course editor which allows arranging any of the available holes into a custom course, as well as new items such as clubs and balls.

    Game modes include:
    • Stroke Play
    • Stableford
    • Stableford Pro
    • Match Play
    • Skins
    • Multi-target



    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.
