Hi everyone,

It has been a while since the last update, but I am back with the June/July update, as well as a 25% discount as part of the Steam Summer Sale!

Behaviors, Events and Grouping

The star of this update is Phase 1 of the Behaviors and Events system, which allows you to add dynamic elements to your courses.

Phase 1 is somewhat limited in its content, but it lays the foundation for the system which I will be building on top of in future updates.

Check out the Behaviors and Events tutorial to get a jump start:

Also in this update is the ability to Group objects together, which can be very powerful when used with behaviors.

[Tutorial Coming Soon]

If you have any feedback or ideas about Behaviors, Events, or Grouping, be sure to tell me about it in the Ideas and Feedback forum!

Update Schedule

I touched on this briefly in the previous news post, but updates will now be done on a monthly basis, being released on the first Friday of every month. This should give me enough time to do substantially more work on MiniGolf Maker.

Coming Up

Finally, here's a preview of some of the stuff I have planned for upcoming updates:

• More Behaviors - Such as Visibility Toggle, Move to Position, and Move to Rotation.
• Nested Behaviors - The ability to have multiple parent and child objects with behaviors attached.
• More Event Types - ABility to trigger events on turn change, round change, object collision, and other Event imrpovements.
• Desert Content - A new content set for the Course Creator with Middle Eastern desert objects, music, and styles.
• Course Ambience - The ability to add ambient sound effects to your course.
• Green Materials - Ability to change greens into different materials such as Sand for sand traps.
• Mac (and possibly Linux) Support - I finally have access to some Mac's that I can test this out with.
