Henke Posted January 21, 2020 2 hours ago, brendonsmall said: Weird question, but what region of the world and/or language is your system set to? Asking because this is almost surely a "number format region" issue. I think I'm just going to hack in some binaryformatter serialization stuff to deal with it, unless I can figure out a system-agnostic string format :\ Ooooh yes, I remember some other game having this issue as well. I'm using Swedish keyboard. edit: ok yeah, the new version works! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sloane Posted January 21, 2020 Okay, this is great! Really captures the DOS vibe, fun to play, and the commentary is hilarious. One small issue I maybe encountered is that the input lag seems pretty high? I’m not sure whether that’s a bug or a feature or I am just imagining it though.

I’m not sure whether that’s a bug or a feature or I am just imagining it though. I was chasing down an issue with that shot meter having some lag and screen-tearing issues, but didn't quite solve it. If it helps, you can use the space bar to do the shots, too. It's on the list for bug fixes for a future release though, to be sure Thanks for playing!

Sloane Posted January 21, 2020 Oh, space bar does work much better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henke Posted January 21, 2020 Ok this is a remarkably solid golf game. The gameplay is tight and I love the commentary. My first round. I didn't quite get a good grip on the controls until hole 2. edit: played another round, on Intermediate and got a score of +1, just below Par! Suggestions: -change clubs with up/down arrows. -when putting there should be a minimum distance that the ball will always go, even if you just double-tap the shoot button because you're really close to the hole and don't wanna over-do it. -add 9 more holes and release it on Steam. I'll definitely buy it! The Thumbs would probably be cool with lending their voices/likeness to the game if you asked nicely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Thumbs would probably be cool with lending their voices/likeness to the game if you asked nicely. I wouldn’t mind at all. My suggestion for if this was to be packaged up as a released commercial game: Include a CRT shader with scanlines and a little bulge to it, so people understand it’s meant to be a play on a DOS game.

Awesome! CRT scanline shader is a great idea, too! Might even chuck this into a render texture and map it to a very subtle unintrusive 3D monitor with bezel (available in "new white" and "old yellow") Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

atte Posted January 21, 2020 Yep, the new version works fine. The mood and style is a very delicious mix of sincerity with a hint of strangeness. Two small additions that came to mind while playing. W and D for aiming also. View moving, so you could admire the course ahead even after the start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Added W+D aiming to feature backlog and already have some cool camera panning in the works, too. Great feedback, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brendonsmall Posted January 21, 2020 @atte @Henke FYI v1.0.3 has been released, and contains fixes for better keyboard controls (arrows + WASD), and minimum putter strength for those tiny very close shots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the same problem parsing floats without region formatting. I didn’t know it was even a thing. The lesson I learned was always make my own forwarding method when using other libraries so I don’t have to hunt through the whole project replacing stuff.

Yeah it's a weird one that the default is region-specific. I don't get why anyone would ever want that as the default. Seems like an odd design choice by microsoft or whoever :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Henke Posted January 23, 2020 Nice. I did give it another go with the new update but I think I only got +4 or so. Oh, one small last change I thought of: pressing "continue" with spacebar, that way the whole round would be playable with keyboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
