Hello folks!

Happy new year as well!

Today’s update is about the clubhouse, the first building available in Boss Golf!

The main function of the building is controlling AI access to the course. It knows which AI is currently playing, the capacity for people on the course (which will be tweakable later), and decides when to spawn a new player. In the screenshot above, you can see 3 AI golfers just loitering around the clubhouse, as their idling/golfing routines haven’t kicked in yet!

For now, the clubhouse is placed randomly, and cannot be moved/removed. Accordingly, the terrain where the clubhouse is placed cannot be raised/lowered. You’ll also be able to click on it as a shortcut for the information on your golf resort, which is useful for aspiring golf tycoons.

As the gameplay systems expand, you’ll be able to tweak membership, decide on prices, course opening hours, all sorts of little things through this main building, as well as expand it, change its appearance and whatnot.

For 0.3, I’m working on the saving system and on blending the player golf gameplay with the AI golf gameplay. Your character will have to queue up for the hole like any AI character does, and you’ll get a notification letting you know when your turn is up! With the save/loading, you’ll be able to continue working on your course as the alpha progresses too!

That’s all for now, folks! Hope you have a great new year!
