'The Final Polish' (Update v5)

Disc Benders: Ace Run 🥏🥽
A downloadable game for Windows and Android

Hiya!

I've been working hard to get v5 out the door, and I'm happy to say it's ready to be published. There are a ton of cool features you'll wanna check out in this go around. My general vision for the last few iterations was to get DiscGolfVR built as a solid single-player experience first, that could stand on it's own, and allow time for mechanics and level design to set in while estimating the amount of support and reception the concept would have. I think overall, things are pretty healthy right now, and this update is the cherry on top!

There have been some minor changes to the Terrain that the holes are created from:

  • Fourth Texture
    • You'll see the 'sand' texture about and near water, this is very slippery and the disc won't stick around for long.
  • Recoloration of trees/leaves
  • Dynamic friction values
    • Each texture has it's own friction and bounce values now
    • By combining these based on what the disc is touching, it will react to the ground's environment
      • i.e. Brown rock texture is very rough w/ high friction, fairway is modest and has some slide
  • Sound effect for disc colliding with ground
  • Better sprites for far away trees


As for major updates, there have been a lot. Mostly revolving around gameplay, mechanics, and advanced throwing support





That's roughly it! I hope you all enjoy the update. As far as next steps, I'll be working on getting multiplayer, tracked scoring, and many other nuances into the game that will make for a great experience :)

I appreciate everyone's support on this project, and to the people who have been donating, thank you so much!!

Best,

Alex
