- Archon Soul - New Game Announcement! - 19 June 2025
Hey there gun golfers!It's been a while. Nice Shot - The Gun Golfing Game released in 2018. Here we are 7 years later, so I can see why one might think I just stopped making games after I released the Desolate Dunes update in 2020. After all, Nice Shot was sort of a silly casual project.That's not exactly what happened. As it turns out, making video games is difficult, but what's even more difficult is the business side of it.After I released the Desolate Dunes update, I started work on a metroidvania project, called Our Dead Surface. After three years of working on that game (metroidvanias are a lot of work and take a lot of time), I was really happy with where the project was and I thought it was really good. So I put together a vertical slice and started looking for a publisher for the funding to finish the game... right when the market for publishing went downhill.As a millennial, I…
- Nice Shot! V1.1.2 Patch - 11 January 2021

- Nice Shot! V1.1.1 Patch - 7 November 2020

- Nice Shot! Halloween Update out now! - 25 October 2020
Well, it only took 2 years, but here we are. Nice Shot! The Gun Golfing Game finally has new content! And not just new content. This update hosts a whole slew of improvements to the game! We improved visual fidelity, performance, and loading times. We added some multiplayer features, and a new improvement to the range finder. Now when you rangefind with your gun, you can see the aim point on the minimap. This makes some of the more precision golf much easier to do, and will be a great help on the low-visibility Desolate Dunes. Add on to that a half dozen bug and other miscellaneous fixes, and you've got yourself an update! So, about the new course. Desolate Dunes is actually pretty welcoming during the day. But this is a Halloween update, so that won't do at all! Desolate Dunes is a very challenging, low-visibility course. Seeing ahead is hard, but your new rangefinder improvement, the…
- Gun Golf is back on the menu! - 12 October 2020
Early this year, we announced that support for Nice Shot! was being put on hiatus. Due to a number of circumstances, we have had the time to bring Nice Shot! back up to par! This is excellent news for our players, since we will now be able to provide bug fixes and support. But it's also great news for us, since we now get to release that free content update we started on last year (which is also good news for our players)! In addition, this will not just be a content update. There is a list of improvements, new features, and bug fixes riding along too! Look forward to the Nice Shot! The Gun Golfing Game update, scheduled for October 25th, 2020!
- Nice Shot Support Discontinuing Temporarily - 12 April 2020
Unfortunately, support for Nice Shot is temporarily over. We plan on supporting Nice Shot in the future, but at the current time it isn't worth the studio's limited resources. We really appreciate your support of the game, and feel you deserve an explanation. We were working on a free content update for the game when the project file got corrupted. The fix involved updating a lot of stuff, but unfortunately the end result of getting the project back left us with a few months of work to do in addition to finishing the content update. We had to make the tough call to discontinue support for the game. Financially, Nice Shot did not do well enough to justify spending a few months getting the game in a shape to update again when the resources would be better spent on developing a new IP. We fully intend on returning to Nice Shot in the future when we have the resources to do so without havin…
- Nice Shot V 1.0.3 Patch - 7 January 2019

- Soundtrack - 10 December 2018
I've had several people ask me about the soundtrack. The good news is that all of the songs used in the game are Creative Commons and free to download (and use with attribution in your own projects).

Airtone" by Durden "Sunshine" by Kevin MacLeod Autumn Alcove: "Samba Isobel" by Kevin MacLeod "Apero Hour" by Kevin Macleod "Local Forecast" by Kevin Macleod Palm Paradise: "Blue Ska" by Kevin Macleod "Enchanting" by Audio Hero "St Bop" by Audio Hero Enjoy!
- Nice Shot V 1.0.2 Patch - 22 November 2018
- On style mode in multiplayer, the scorecard will have a smaller text size to accommodate the larger numbers. - In multiplayer, the text reading 9999y while other players are loading in is gone. - The water collider on Palm Paradise hole 11 was a bit low. We adjusted it to its correct height. - Preemptively fixed an integer underflow bug on multiplayer style mode, as well as put cheating prevention in place for multiplayer strokes mode. - While in-game, the mouse is now contained to the window in windowed mode or while playing with multiple monitors. - Fixed a bug introduced in the 1.0.1 patch where the scores wouldn't properly tick up on the end screen. - Improved the UI experience for windowed players. - Added a version number on the main menu. Thanks again for your support!
- Nice Shot V 1.0.1 Patch - 18 November 2018
The 1.0.1 patch is half patch, half update. Here's what is different in 1.0.1: -Multiplayer should now be cross-region! In the interest of transparency regarding this decision: **This was accomplished by signing everyone on to one server, specifically U.S. East. This server was chosen based on sales data showing that choosing this region will negatively affect the least amount of buyers. **If/when the game sells enough copies and has enough of an active player base to justify going back to regional mp with a cross-region opt-in we may do so to improve ping (more on that below), but we wanted to make it easier for our players to find multiplayer matches. **Concerning the lower pings that will inevitably come with this decision, your ping doesn't actually matter that much for this game, as you can't interact with your opponents ball anyway. A lower ping just means it takes up to an extra…
