Tropicana Glacier - v2.0

Description
Map Pitch :
As the summer ends, do you miss the feeling of hanging around near the pool, with a fruity drink that resfreshes you in the tropical landscape? Then come to Tropicana Glacier, the freshest hottest place on this side of imagination!
...What? You don't miss the feeling of summer?! Well. It's fine. Then just come for our Minigolf. It's pretty cool too.

Oh, and also. We have aliens. Rainbow UFO aliens. ...You gotta come, now, right ? ;)

Features :
  • 18 holes with a easy/medium difficulty level.
  • Lots of occasions to score easily under par, but not that many hole-in-one oppotunities.
  • Eagle or better is always possible on every hole.
  • Uses post processing to be cartoonishlingly colorful, and have some (non-hindering) snow effects!
  • Features a few challenges and secrets to unlock shortcuts and/or stroke reductions!
  • Uses new features of Golf It 1.0, like camera changes and voxel terrain
  • Camera changes occur only when your ball is on booster paths, on which it will move automatically. Camera reverts to normal one or two seconds after exiting those booster paths
  • Music is a remix of "Ring RInk" by Jahn Davis. The melody "Ring Rink" is originally from the Genesis/Megadrive game Ristar

My Comments :

Very much inspired by the "Glacier Cocktail" level in Rayman origins, this map is in good part about trying to create a new aesthetic in Golf it, but without using too many custom 3D assets and textures. And it really worked.
Gameplay wise, I think there are some interesting things too. Even if scaled back from the crazy "event-based ambitions" of my previous map, as it turns out they weren't that beloved, to say it lightly.

So I went for a simpler, more classic minigolf experience, without fancy cutscenes and stuff. But it appears it is what most of you want, according to your own votes.

The additions of the game's 1.0 are pretty interesting, but God only knows how long before I have the time to make a new map and explore those functions further. But hey, at least i managed to use them here at a basic level, and it did bring some extra pizzaz to the map. And talking of 1.0...I also hope the many hotfixes happening right now won't break anything in this lol

I spent at least 60 hours of building and making the custom 3D (rough estimation. Didn't really keep track). So with summer vacation ending, I decided to conclude this project and stop nitpicking every detail.
And because of that, I didn't take the time to put reset zones everywhere, and only used them in the most likely places you might go out of bounds.
So, Just in case, you should play the map with the default settings, as they allow a free reset if you would happen to get stuck on terrain. It's not that likely to happen, but better safe than sorry.

So if you happen to find a place that could really use an extra reset zone, or anything that appears to be broken (bad play areas, possibility of getting stuck, etc...), don't hesitate to tell in the comments. I just ask that you do it with a minimum of decency. No need to turn the comment section into a flame war.

...It would melt the glacier! (sorry. sorry. I'm getting out now XD )

Hope you have fun at Tropicana Glacier!

Changelog :
  • 2.0 : Improved 3D model for the UFOs, with much less polygons. Should increase performance.

@SynthK The comic is on my patreon https://www.patreon.com/AnAngelineer .
It's behind a 2$ paywall though. But if you want I can send you a few samples through Discord for free, just so you can see. PM me if you want to go for that option :)

What is the comic, and where can I find it?

@SynthK Thanks, man. Since I dedicate much less time to creative games since I started my comic, I'm at least glad that the few workshop items I release now are enjoyed :)

What a great course. Whenever I download one of your maps, I know it's going to be great!

@Blay-Tant : If you really do, then stop posting pointless comments on people's workshop items. they're annoying to everyone who actually want to see feedback on the map.

That's rude? I had the purest of intentions as well
