Rainbow Golf Belltowers - v1.2

Description
EDIT/UPDATE :
Camera changes were disabled at 1.1 (except for the final hole, where it's necessary to enjoy the Plinko minigame). These didn't seem to be liked very much. If you tried the map before and gave it up because of them, you could consider giving it another shot, if you want to. :)

Map Pitch :
A mysterious sky island in the sunset, full of colors, wonders... and minigolf!
A medium difficulty map that focuses mostly on classic minigolf mechanics, with only the existence of boosters and a short Plinko minigame on hole 18 to spice the core experience up with some "virtual only fun". Hope you'll enjoy your trip to the "RGB" island, and make some fun memories!
- Angelineer in Chief, responsible of the Cloud 71 resort

Features :
  • 18 holes with a easy/medium difficulty level.
  • Eagle or better is always possible on every hole. It's my design philosophy. The result being : birdie is usually easy, hole in one is often just impossible.
  • While this is mostly a "core minigolf" experience, it's not a realistic course either, with boosters being used to make pipes consistent/longer or to avoid being stuck in annoying places.
  • Features a few secret shortcuts, though it's not the focus of the map
  • Hole 18 features a Plinko game. get center path to skip the rest of the hole!
  • Music : Medley of musics from the "Picture City" world in Rayman 1

My Comments :

After the highly experimental (and gimmicky) map I did earlier this summer, I wanted to make another, more classic one. The innovation here happened more on the aesthetic side, with me wanting to create a unique look for the map. ...Which I think I have achieved, in all modesty. XD

Because I can't help challenging myself and trying to make a good experience for you all, I tried to experiment with camera changes that would "help better understand what is happening". Personally I really enjoyed how those camera changes allowed me to better understand the movement of the ball through the long pipes hidden in walls (even though I knew the map!), and hopefully you'll share that opinion.

Hole 18 also features a fancy "Plinko" game, and this is basically where I channeled all my urges to make triggering and try things with events lol. It's very short and i think it's kind of a fun, different final touch for this course, which overall is, despite its fancy looks, a classic, pretty normal Golf It course.

In short : very different from my 2 last maps, which both tried to tell a story through cutscenes. This one is just, except for that last hole, a normal minigolf. No story. No removing control from the player for prolonged durations. But because of the aesthetics and those camera changes, it was still a very interesting map to make from my perspective as an unhinged, wannabe artist. XD

Hope you'll enjoy it. All feedback is welcome as long as it's done politely, so don't hesitate to criticize the camera changes if you think those are bad. I might as well learn right now if it's a good idea to continue with those.
...There will be no new maps for a while now, sadly. Holidays are over and I have projects pending in many other places, including other creative games. But wait a few months and, God willing, it should happen eventually :)

ChangeLog :
  • Version 1.1: Added some walls in places where the ball could "unexpectedly fly because of lane junctions". Disabled all camera changes except on final hole. I plan to bring them back later, once a certain feature I know is in development comes into the game.

  • Version 1.2: Small adjustments to hole 14 (play area counting outside of course fixed + added a wall to make falling there less likely) and Hole 17 (changed booster setup within a tube to reduce probability of being stuck drastically)

Thanks. I am glad you liked the map. :D
@CRISS : I changed the boosters within that pipe. The problem should be fixed now. Thanks for making the bug report. :)

Beautiful course! Intelligent and beginner friendly design. Hole 17, the merging of the pipes caused my ball to get stuck on a slow putt but apart from that I really enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time to make it and I hope you make more in the future <3.

Easily one of the best maps I've played! Simple yet elegant hole design, beautiful textures, and really nice music to accompany it all⭐
