O'Neill Station 12 - v1.0

Description
Map Pitch :
Welcome to O'Neill Cylinder 12, BOSS! As your spaceship's nav computer, allow me to remind you of the risks of meteor showers as you enjoy this anti-gravity golfing cylinder!
In the unlikely event that a meteor shower does happen, do your best to jump from debris-to-debris and use their local gravity fields to go back to the ship. ...But that's not going to happen, right? Have fun!

Features :
  • 18 holes with a easy/medium difficulty level. The map is pretty experimental though, and might feel a bit confusing to play because of all the gravity changes. If you want minigolf that feels "normal" or "realistic", this might not be the best map for you!
  • 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.
  • Contains about 80 seconds of cutscenes total, with most at the start of hole 10. If the devs stick to their plans, a feature that will allow me to give the option to skip should be coming in next version of Golf It. But for now you have to sit through them. ...I think they are fairly short and entertaining, so hopefully you will findf them tolerable even if cutscenes aren't really your thing
  • Features a few secret shortcuts and exits, though it's not the focus of the map
  • Musics : "Junebug" by Faulty Lights and "Galactic Warfare" by Russell Nash & RAN

My Comments :

Pushed the limits on a few things with this map : cutscenes and crazy gravity changes. ...This made me encounter a bunch of bugs that only come up when you make this kind of complicated stuff with the event system, and while that allowed the devs to learn from those bugs through my reports... it also makes me slightly scared about the stability of this map's triggers.

So if you encounter a bug, don't hesitate to report it here, and I'll see what I can do. I will also take gameplay criticisms as well and arrange those too if I can (just report those problems with a minimum amount of civility and politeness, please, that's all I ask XD )

Now that I think about it, this map is kind of a spiritual successor to "Gravity Cubes", the other space maps I did before. ...And I guess I did cutscenes again, like for the "Atlantis" map.
Because of the cutscenes and the design based around shifting gravity, you are likely to either really enjoy or really hate this map depending of your opnion on those gimmicks. Next time, I intend to go for something very different and also less experimental, but as usual this will take a while as I juggle so many creative projects since 2 years ago. Sorry ^^;

Hope you enjoy the map!

@originalremixman => Okay. i'll take note, but sadly I have no idea what I can do to try to prevent this :lunar2020thinkingtiger:
Because I lurk a little on the dev's discord, i know a feature that allows the binding of map events to keyboard should be coming in the next golfit major version. If i can't find anything until then (and sadly it's likely), I'll use that to give the players the ability to skip cutscenes by pushing a specific key, which should solve the issue.

There were just four of us playing the course, I was the host. After the cutscene at the track where you can use the cannon for the second time, the other three players couldn't continue playing. Resetting the Ball with R and F worked, but that didn't change anything. Unfortunately, we then had to quit.

@InfinityESPANA. Thanks! The stats show me this map is, as I expected, not doing the best popularity wise because of its gimmicks. Some people just hate cutscenes or stuff too removed from normal minigolf, and it shows in the stats and feedbacks I got.
...But hearing there are some people who really love the map makes it all worth it. Thanks again. :)

10/10 best map out here

Thanks. Glad that this bug didn't taint your positive opinion of the map too much! I'll look into it :)

Love this map. One of the most creative I've ever seen.

For some reason on hole 17 after shooting out of the cannon at the start, the game was unable to register any ball movement mechanics after it dropped me back to the start. I was stuck in "reset" without any power and direction, except the ball just stood there and didn't allow me to do anything except use the camera. I was playing in Classic if that helps.
