hey guys, great mod you made. I just wanted to give you some feedback on my first impressions of the mod. They are mostly improvements I would like to see. Some are a bit nitpicky, but I think those items will improve the mod.
It is quite a long list I hope you can use the info.
Just to make sure, I really love the game next to the 17 points mentioned above there are hundreds of great things. It is quite relaxing and good looking I especially love the menu with the horizontal scrolling. I am really looking forward to the complete version.
BTW: If needed I can provide screenshots of where the ball got stuck and I have the .log file from that session.
- The opening level really needs to be changed. Even if it only shows the logo for a brief moment it will be better than the skaarj with the machinegun. Duffers is just not about guns.
- The tooltips in the buttons in the main menu don't really fit with the Duffers theme. It might be better to have some kind of statusbar/helparea that displays those messages.
- I could not enter my Nickname since it has a dot(.) in it. Is this intend behaviour?
- Why is there a Fire to start at the begin of the course? It seems to be unnessesary.
- I just don't understand the aimmarker. Whats the % value mean, what do the red up/down arrows and the xx FT value mean?
- It would be nice if the current hole was highlighted in the scoreboard
- When zooming out after a put then the camera moves through the player which looks kind of bad. Maybe It would be better to hide the player or have the camera als spin around a bit so it will not hit the player.
- It would be nice to have see sand flying around when you are hitting the ball in a bunker.
- The flag makes you believe that there is a strong wind, but the environment is completely static, so it looks a bit weird. Maybe it is a good idea to make the trees move a bit. I noticed this post on the UnWheel forums that talks about animated trees (http://forums.beyondunreal.com/showthread.php?t=134325)
- In hole number 6 the ball fell through the level when it fell in the hole
- Water needs a splash when you enter it. BTW does the game normally continue when you are in the water?? It looks a bit funny that the guys is up to his waist in the water trying to hit the ball.
- It would be nice if the "Look" would go up a little higher. Also the stopping and returning of the camera when using "Look" is quite abrupt. I think it would be better to have a more smooth movement.
- When pressing ESC in-game pops up the menu with Exit Forfeit etc.. I have to press ESC _twice_ to close that window.
- In the 7th or 8th hole the ball got stuck in a bunker. It never switched to "hitting" mode again.
- The game is really quiet. I had no music due to the paths problem that is mentioned in another thread. But the other sounds I heard were only the ball hit and a plok sound when the ball falls in the hole. It would be nice to have at least some rewarding sound when you do a birdie etc... Also some environmental sounds would be nice (birds, wind,water whatever).
- The texts like Birdie are in the middle of the screen over the hole. I feel it always quite rewarding to see the ball in the hole, but that is blocked by the text. It would be nice if the camera could be tilted a bit up and the text moved up a bit so you can still see the result of your work.
It is quite a long list I hope you can use the info.
