Nova Golf Trees

Nova Golf now has seven distinct trees to work with. Four bushes and about five cactuses are almost finished too as well as several other objects you’d find on a course. Today we’ll start populating the first course with these new objects. In addition to the foliage, we’ve completed the single player campaign mode and are quickly running out of things to work on! Everything is still on track for late March, which will be a very busy month, so keep an eye out for Nova Golf along with updates to EVERY game/app we have.

Nova Golf Update

Nova Golf has really started to shape up lately! We think a late March release is very realistic. The only major areas left that need work are the single player campaign, iOS optimizations, course layouts, final graphics assets, and lots and lots of testing/tweaking. One courses is already  finished and can be played through. It looks like it’s going to be much harder to get double digit under par scores compared to GL Golf, well at least until the character is leveled up and his equipment is upgraded.

Below is a preview of what the new putting interface looks like. The black dots are animated and follow the slope of the green, while the power meter shows how far a 25/50/75/100% power putt should go on flat land.

Nova Golf Water/Trees

We’ve been working hard on our new golf game and we’re ready to give you a sneak preview. Below is screen shot of what we have so far. The photo doesn’t do justice though, the water, grass blades, sky, and shot preview are fully animated and respond to the wind/environment. The game is already shaping up and we haven’t actually put any real assets in yet. Everything you see is just a placeholder, so the final version will have even more polished graphics. Stay tuned for more previews, we hope to have the full version out for the Mac in March.

 

Nuclear Nova’s First Employee!

Last Monday Nuclear Nova Software welcomed its first employee to the family. Her name is Nova and she’s a 7 week old puppy! Nova is half golden retriever with some Husky and German Shepard in her. Hopefully we’ll find a few ways to sneak her into the games considering she’ll be sitting next to me helping 95%+ of the development time.
