AI & Money!


Hey there! After another two weeks of development, I have quite a few changes for you! Here are the change notes & devlog:


ADDITIONS

  • AI!!! Guest will now play your holes if they are open. AI is not perfect, but it works and can usually get the ball in the hole.
  • Money!!! You get $150 whenever a guest spawns, and $50 every time they play a hole. A sandbox mode is also available.
  • Save slots!! You can now have multiple saves, but only in the downloadable version.
  • Music added to the main menu.
  • Added some spinning blades to the loading screen
  • Added the ability to open/close holes
  • New holes now spawn with a tee on them
  • New holes will have a number in parentheses based on how many you’ve placed ( eg: NewHole (3) )
  • Added 2 new AI states: Golfing & Traveling to a specific location
  • Added the ability to open/close holes.
  • Added another song (Waterfall)
  • Icons in the main menu now have their cost and name

CHANGES

  • UI is a little cleaner. Icons and colors still need to be reworked.
  • Made the courses a bit bouncier so the balls move better
  • Moving nodes around is now changed to the transform tools.
  • When creating a new hole is spawns it at the center of the screen instead of the middle of the world
  • Loading screen stays up while the scene is initializing
  • Remade the mesh for the courses so it’s a little better & the correct scale
  • Changed the bounce threshold by -.2 so things are a little bouncier I guess
  • Decreased the fixed timestep for better physics calculations (impacts performance)
  • Changed the rigid body on the golf ball a little to prevent random collisions
  • Changed some of the panels to have a white background
  • Guest spawning rate is now based on the number of decorations you have and how many open holes you have. Performance may decrease due to the number of guests in the park.

FIXES

  • Fixed error when a guest enters the park
  • When you click on something already selected, it won’t select it again
  • Holes now save
  • A variant of the ramp won't show up on different decorations
  • Courses actually have the correct physics material after loading a save

KNOWN BUGS

  • The force at which a ball comes out of a tunnel is extremely high.|
  • The courses in the main menu are broken
