Hello.
I mentioned in newsletter issue #10 that a possible sequel (of sorts) to Hole in One was a distinct possibility.
Well, a month ago, I managed to get a contract for the aforementioned in the shape of RSBrownDog's "Par Fore!". I've taken over the project with the support of both Ryan and his publisher, as he wasn't able to finish up the game himself due to work commitments.
Its currently in the traditional "3D view mode" but I plan to have an isometric viewpoint also if I can ever work out orthographic projection, so it'll look and play kind of like Hole in One looked, only much prettier.
It does look a bit different to how Ryan left it, mainly due to me throwing out the Blitz terrain system in favour of courses modelled completely in 3DS Max.
Psionic's done 90% of the graphics for this, I plan to make the courses myself, as well as doing all the HUD artwork which will be a revamped Hole in One HUD.
Anyway, here's a few early shots (with only a test course). These basically show the weather system and a couple of the different game themes:
