The Treasure of Atlantis - v1.2

Golf it has a bug that cause events to behave weirdly in case of sudden framerate changes.
To reduce the risk, try to run this map in conditions that will help you having a good, consistent framerate. People who did so never had any problem with the map.
If your computer is old and/or low-end, maybe you should avoid this map, as I can't guarantee you will have a good experience. Thanks for your understanding.

Yaaar! Fellow Swashbucklers! I am looking for brave crewmates to come with me in search of great treasure! For you see, you scurvy dogs, I happen to know the secret location of ye fallen city of Atlantis! Power! Riches! Glory! According to legend, they all await us in this forsaken place!
Take ye golfing club and get ready for the adventure of a lifetime, my new mateys! Do not listen to the rumors about that supernatural guardian or those "complex triggered events" of the sunken city, whatever those are! They won't stop us in our quest for booty ! Har har har!
Set sail, my friends! For next time we come back to shore, it will be as rich men!

• 18 holes with a medium difficulty level (and a few really easy ones)
  
• Few hole in one oppotunities, but scoring eagle or better is always possible.
  
• Tells a little story through "cutscenes" made with complex in-game events.
  
• Don't worry, those cutscenes aren't very long (about a minute all combined)
  
• Underwater sections with strong post-processing effects that create an eerie underwater ambiance (and add a little difficulty)
  
• Contains a "ball steering" section. It isn't very hard but it takes places under a (pretty generous) timer. The map has text reminders of how steering works if you don't know.
  
• 4 custom music tracks, and a bunch of sound effects and custom 3D to create a unique , vibrant version of Atlantis (credits below)
  
• Due to the lack of better alternatives, I voiced the guardian of Atlantis. Hopefully you can bear with my accent and my lack of high end audio equipment XD
  
• An ambitious project worth 70+ hours of building and testing
  
• Warning : With post-processing and lots of objects, this map isn't the best for low-end machines

...Well, this just took 6 months!
I explained it last time and I'll say it again : since March 2022, I started drawing a pretty ambitious comic book. ...The kind that will keep me busy for a few years.
So now, not only do I play less games in general, but when I do I don't always feel like playing creative video games.
But still. Even by using level editors less often, as long as it's not zero (and it's not), then something eventually gets made. And here is a "something"!

In my own eyes and judgement, this is one of the best Golf It maps I ever made, if not the best. Not only did I make it as pretty as possible, I explored a lot of horizons I left untouched before this time : holes with secret paths, ball steering, and short automated segments that are pretty much mini cutscenes within the golf it engine! And the result turned out great! So in a way, the long production time was worth it!

I am curious to see if the public shares my opinion of this being one of my best maps.
Honestly, I kinda doubt it, because some elements of the map are going to cause strongly divide opinions : some people might just hate having mini cutscenes in a minigolf game, while others will genuinely enjoy the little story told by the map. Or similarly, others might hate my deliberate choice to use pretty heavy visual effects and lowered gravity in the underwater segments, while others will enjoy the ambiance and gameplay it provides.

...But because I clearly expect some people will hate the design choices made within this map, I think this might result in more downvotes than usual. That's my theory, at least. Might be completely wrong. Either way, I hope the people who enjoy said choices here will get a blast out of this map.

As usual, criticism and bug reports are welcome! ...if they are without gratuitous insults.
It's simple : if your comment has pointless insults and attacks against me or other people, it will be deleted. Whether it has some useful info or not. Call me a snowflake if you want, but I have better things to do with my time than trying to reason with trolls and angry people.
...Rather than waste time trying to talk with people who don't actually want to, I'd rather create more stuff. :)

Hope you have fun with the map. And for now : talley oh, mateys!

• v1.1 : Modified some walls and added others to remove some frustrating "gotcha" moments. The event to "submerge" on hole 5 can now be triggered again in case a bug occured and you don't get reset underwater as you should.
  Sadly, I couldn't figure out the cause of some "unexpected resets", so allowing multiple triggers of events if the best i can do so far. I'm trying to ask a few people around to figure out something...
  
• v1.2 : "Doubled" some important custom events. Should mitigate the bugs caused by the game engine's poor handling of framerate drops, especially during custom events (I guess the game is still not 1.0...)
