- Final Release of Fantasy Fairways - 8 August 2019
This is it! Fantasy Fairways is releasing from Early Access, and becoming a full-fledged steam game. It’s been a long time coming, and took way too long, but we made it. This release doesn't have a new patch associated with it, but the last patch we put out in May has the game in a state we deemed ready to release. All of our initial goals as a, largely, student based team have been completed, and even though it took us a while to get the game to where we are now, we're happy with the final result. We have three beautifully illustrated courses implemented, fully customizable golf balls, several fun traps to play with, and all sorts of Steam integration that we hope you enjoy! Unfortunately, this is likely the end of our support for this game. Our team has gone our separate ways, in fact most of the team that worked on this game have been off of this project for nearly two years. With fu…

- Welcome to Crystal Peaks - 19 August 2017
PATCH TIME! This is the biggest patch for Fantasy Fairways yet introducing a whole brand new course and a bunch of fixes and improvements across the board. New Course: Crystal Peaks * Enter the mountainous Crystal Peaks course. This course is focused on long distance travels, the levels inside Crystal Peaks are all longer than any previously released hole. * 9 new holes each with their own bonus achievement and unlockable ball. Improvements * The UI has been revamped completely, this under the hood change results in a smoother experience. Consequently key remapping has been temporarily disabled, expect this back in a future patch. * In game settings. You can now access your settings while in a course (was just main menu previously). * ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM! You can now zoom in and out on courses (where needed) with a mouse wheel. This is probably the most requested feature to date. * Speed up…

- Controller Support! - 17 April 2017
Today's patch introduces controller support into the game. It's experimental and the user interface certainly is far from complete, but we wanted to get this out there for people to try. Currently all prompts are for Xbox One controllers though we hope to support Playstation & Xbox 360 prompts in the near future. We do not have an in-game layout yet for you to view so we are listing the control here, in this announcement. Listed below are Xbox buttons but the relative buttons on your Dualshocks et al should work just the same: In-Game Controls: Move/Navigate - Left Stick Open Gizmo Menu - Left Trigger Select Gizmo - Right Stick Pick Gizmo From Menu - Right Trigger (Or Release Left Trigger while hovering) Place Gizmo - A button Pick Up Gizmo - A button while hovering over gizmo Delete Gizmo - B button while selected Flip Gizmo - X button Fly to Next Gizmo - Up on Dpad Fly to Previous Giz…

- Early Access Roadmap - 9 February 2017
So let's talk about what's next now that we're out on Early Access. First up is ironing out the biggest bugs. Expect frequent patching in the next few days--just a heads up that you will likely lose your unlocked balls a couple times during early access. Currently we know there are a lot of fun bugs you can get into with the Orbital Launcher gizmo and the Pulsar gizmo. These are next up on our revision list--they are responsible for a large portion of the bugs. With a game so reliant on physics interactions these ones can be problematic as they sort of "break" the balls physics. The first major phase content updates will be rolling out the Steamworks support and proper controller support. This means steam achievements, trading cards, and workshop support. The workshop support will let you upload and download custom ball designs. You can actually check out the workshop now--we're finishi…
