Update notes via Steam Community
Hi everyone,

We are finally out of Early Access with the Dreamscape Update!

Isle of Dreams - Dreamscape Course

Introducing the Isle of Dreams course, showing off the Dreamscape themed content.



Achievements

Also included in this update are Achievements! In total there are 21 achievements, including a few hidden ones. Note that the gameplay-related achievements are not counted when testing in the course creator.

As always there are more new features and bug fixes to list as well, but before the changelog I want to address MiniGolf Maker's future as a full release.

Final Feature Update

I have been working on MiniGolf Maker since 2015, so that would be almost 7 years I have dedicated to working on this game. In that time I graduated college and had 3 full-time jobs before deciding I wanted to quit my job and focus completely on game dev.

This game has been a big part of my life, and quite frankly I am completely burnt out. But now that it is out of Early Access I feel I that am finally able to move on. Working on this game has not been easy, especially during the time that I had full-time jobs that ate up 8 hours of my weekdays, meaning I spent almost all of my free time working on this game. There were many occasions where my motivation to keep working was extremely low, but I felt like I had an obligation to see this project through to some state that could be considered complete.

There are a lot of things about this game I am proud of, and just as many things that I regret. Even with that said, working on this game has provided me with invaluable experience for not only the technical aspects of game making, but also for the community and marketing aspects (mostly for what I need to do better). I will be sure to use everything I've learned here to make my next games even better.

So, with all that said, this will be the final feature update of MiniGolf Maker. I will still monitor the Problem Reports forum for bug reports, and release patches as needed, but there will be no new added features from this point on. I will be removing the Ideas and Feedback forum in accordance with this.

Thank you to everyone who has supported this game. Thank you to everyone (both on Steam and on Discord) who has shared their courses, provided feedback, and posted bug reports. You have helped immensely in keeping me motivated to continue working on this game, and I hope to see you again on my future games.

Now, let's keep tradition by including the change log:
