![]() Will the game get the same updates as the PC version going forward? Will Switch players be able to make their own custom courses or have any exclusive features?Įvery console version will get the updates coming to PC. This was quite the challenge, but I think the team have done an incredible job! The biggest challenge we faced was getting the game to run just as well on the console as it does on a desktop computer. What was the biggest development challenge you faced in bringing the game to Switch?īringing the game to the Switch wouldn’t have been possible without Team17’s partnership and expertise. ![]() You as a single person can have some particularly good ideas, but imagine 100 people or more, they will come up with things you would have never thought of! We would then let the community play various builds of the game (prior to our 1.0 release) and listen to what they had to say. Ultimately if we didn’t have fun playing the holes, we would make changes or scrap them entirely. The challenge of the hole needs to be obvious with some hidden shots or tricks sprinkled throughout the map for that extra flair! The holes need to gradually get more intricate and harder but still need to flow and not confuse the user. The outcome really shows and it’s the best decision we made!Īnybody after a straight golf game definitely won’t be getting that with GWYF! When you’re designing a hole or course, what elements are needed to make a really good one?įeedback would be the biggest but there are a few things that you need for each hole on one of our maps. Debbie and the team have been a blast to work with and have the same vision for the game as we do. Our small team was just not equipped and lacked the knowledge to bring Golf With Your Friends to consoles we needed the help from a third party, and we were super comfortable with Team17. Tell us a bit about how you came to that decision and effect of the partnership on the game and the team. Instead we learnt through YouTube videos and online articles during development, so I think it’s fair to say the game changed as we gained more knowledge and experience.īlacklight partnered with Team17 at the start of 2019. We did not have any prior study or experience in developing games before starting our journey with Golf with Your Friends. For instance, the map ‘Twilight’ was entirely suggested by the community on our development streams people would design the holes and send in designs for us to create live on stream for them. so I think it’s fair to say the game changed as we gained more knowledge and experience.įrom the very start our focus was integrating the community into the development of Golf With Your Friends, we listened to what the community wanted and slowly crafted the game into what it is today. How has the game changed and evolved in that time? GWYF has been in Early Access on Steam for several years now. We started work on Golf With Your Friends because we couldn’t find anything like it at the time, it’s been something I have wanted to play for a long time now and it turned out I would have to be the one to create it! We looked to Dungeon Defenders, World of Warcraft and Overwatch for our art inspiration as these games have such a beautiful and unique art style, we thought that our take on these would suit the game perfectly. We play such a variety of genres from simulators, indies, FPS games, and MMOs so we get inspiration from many different places, it’s hard to list just a few. What games influenced you when you were developing Golf with Your Friends? My passion is game design and programming, we have spent the last four to five years growing our talents and learning new things! Brayden is my older brother and art is his focus, digitally sculpting and painting his way through the game Lachlan is my younger brother and he is an all-rounder, handling art, modelling and FX. Alongside me are my two brothers, Brayden and Lachlan. We are an all brother team from Brisbane, Australia. We understand Blacklight is a three-person team – can you tell us a little about who does what? ![]() Kailan Cl ark: To put it simply, Golf With Your Friends is a fast paced, exciting, mini-golf game focused on fun with your friends!
