Hello everyone!

Apologies for being a few days late with this update. I was getting hung up on some critical things that needed to be addressed. But enough about that, lets get into the update!

Modding Support

The main feature of the update is the introduction of modding support. You can now mod in custom objects, green styles, flag styles, music, and ambient sounds!

You can check out the Official Modding Steam Guide for a tutorial on how to mod MiniGolf Maker.

New Main Menu and Lobby Features

The main menu and game lobby have been given an all-new Workshop browser menu, which you can use to browse and play Workshop courses without having to use the Steam Overlay! Courses (and their mods) will automatically be downloaded when you choose to play a course from the in-game Workshop browser.

New Course Creator Features

The Course Creator has also received several new features:

New Object List

The object list as recieved a major overhaul. Objects have been re-categorized and there are now additional filters that allow you to filter by Themes and Tags as well as the existing custom search.

New Green Pieces

The existing library of pre-made green pieces has been expanded, including a brand new type of green piece that has a hole in it!

Other Course Creator Features

• Objects can now be moved to different holes.
  
• Holes can now be reordered by dragging and dropping holes in the Hole Management window. The Behavior Editor has also been updated to use drag-and-drop to reorder behaviors.
  
• A new button has been added to the bottom toolbar to show the ball's path from the last test mode run.

Next Update - The Arcade Update

I'm going to be taking it easy with next month's update so that I (hopefully) won't have to delay it. Since I have gotten requests for it, I am going to be adding a somewhat re-imagined version of MiniGolf Mania's Arcade course! This course will include the same original 9 holes, plus 9 more holes to make it a full 18-hole Arcade course with additional content far beyond what was in MiniGolf Mania.
