Hi everyone, just a quick update to say that we are still working on Golf Quest. As I mentioned in the previous update, my partner's surprise PHD has been keeping her very busy and leaving little time for drawing courses. But, absolute champ that she is, she has been working on designs whenever she gets the time and we've got about half of the courses designed but not fully drawn up yet.
We're hoping that once Summer ends and her data collection needs wind down, we'll be able to fly through and get Golf Quest done as quick as we can without rushing.
Our sincerest apologies for missing the expected deadline but don't worry, Golf Quest is still coming!
I'll give another, longer update when we've got more to share.
Best,
Anna
Hey everyone, first off let me apologize for how long Golf Quest is taking. My awesome partner has been doing all of the art by herself but unfortunately for the project's timeline, shortly after the Kickstarter she got into a PhD and has been having to juggle both.
Thankfully we've got our schedule mostly in order and are getting through the courses at a better pace now.
This is one of the recent holes that I've fallen in love with. Landing in any of those circles causes the goat to headbutt the ball which means you can treat this level like a game of pinball, bouncing from goat to goat and potentially getting a hole in one with their help :)
Each of the holes will have a page that explains what the Par is, what the Max Stroke limit is, and how each of the Hazards work.
The final game will ship in colour but we will have printer friendly versions that range from printer-friendliest (just the outlines) to print friendly-ish (outlines and faint shadows), both of which still look great.
We don't have an exact shipping schedule just now but we'll keep you all posted as we get closer to that point.
Best,
Anna & Shanice
One of the things that I'm most excited about for Golf Quest are the Rivals. These are the NPCs you either pick or generate at the start of the game who you will interact with during the Clubhouse roleplaying sections and whose score's you'll have to beat while out on the green.
We're really leaning into the Comedy and drawing lots of inspiration from the Mario games as you can probably guess :)
We've got another 4 Rivals commissioned so that you'll have 10 pre-made Rivals to face off against. And of course there will be generators to make new Rivals complete with goals and backstories.
That's all for now but I'll be back again at the end of the month so share more :)
Thanks once again for all your support and hopefully we'll have Golf Quest ready in time for the UK Games Expo so we can play together!
Hey Everyone,
We made it past the funding goal which is fantastic! That means we get to bring Golf Quest to life and share it with all you fine folks.
Holes for the base game's tournaments will look like the one below with a Tee, a Hole, and a bunch of colourful challenges along the way. In this particular Hole - which is inspired by Moonbreaker Mountain from Apothecaria - the challenge is getting from pinnacle to pinnacle without plummeting to the ground below. The awful bridges could provide handy stepping stones but you will need to be careful to not land in the goat's personal space otherwise it'll headbutt your ball. Though, very carefully positioned shots could make use of this grumpy goat to get a hole in one!
We're also going to have printer-friendly versions like this one below for all tiers which are great for competitive play as you can ensure you have a perfectly clean slate.
But that's not all! Golf Quest also has an RPG side to it and what better way to get into the fun than by generating your own over the top Golfer?
This generator allows you to randomly create your golfer's Origin and Goal and so far has generated:
The final game is going to have a bunch of Rival generators, Drama generators, and maybe even some pre-made NPCs for those just wanting to leap straight into the action against a Mario Party esque roster of characters.
Thanks again for all your support and I will keep you updated as we progress!
