Is Avatar support being added to Easy Golf?

My guess is that it will be a new game

Barkers said on another forum that there will not be any new updates to Easy Golf so it is most likely going to be another game.

That picture is not from a game by Barkers Crest AFAIK...

That game is easy golf.  And it does have Avatars, so someone must be doing it.  I don't think people can just use his game, can they?  Unless he open sourced it, which would not make sense.

I think you will be hearing more about Avatar Golf soon, I can't say much more than that.

Man I'm glad I put AFAIK ;-) For once I'm very gladd to have been 100% wrong here... see http://forums.xna.com/forums/p/36330/210053.aspx#210053 - I love reading the comments and speculation on some of those rumour threads.

Good job Matt.

The second I buy this game I find out Avatar Golf is on the way and that nobody`s on to play this!

There are loads of people still playing Easy Golf, send a friend request to AVF Easy Golf and then look at their friends list, most people on there are more than happy to play a round and share their courses.

To be honest this game came out in November 2008 and ever since it has been virtually impossible to find random online matches unless you were a member of AVF Easy Golf...which brought tons of online matches.

The good news is you got the game for dirt cheap and you'll certainly get your moneys worth till Avatar Golf comes out.

In Avatar Golf there will be no problems finding random online matches because I implemented Join in Progress, which is basically you can join any match that people have already started.

Yes, it is impossible to find a random game.  But I managed to convince a few friends on my friends list to buy the game also and I play with them nearly every night.  But I must say it is getting old doing the same courses over and over again.  Shake N Baco was kind enough to give me 6 when he had a free couple of minutes but you got to hook me up with the goods Barker.  I see the giant list you have posted of all the courses that other people made and I would love to get all of those and add my own to the mix.  I tried sending a friend request but your friends list is full.  Hit me up soon please.  I'll be on vacation this coming week and probably playing this for a few hours every day with my little cousins and some new courses would be greatly appreciated.

Print, I should be on this weekend so if you see me on, send me a message, i'll be sure to get you more courses. =)

I almost peed a little when I saw cart paths and buildings in the course builder!

I wish I could have used the term "almost" when I first saw them. ;)

The join in feature sounds very cool

I played some EG last night for the first time in a while and I really enjoyed it.    The course designer is just a ton of fun.

In peer review?? How much longer???

If it passes review quickly, the earliest it can go out is late tuesday night / wednesday morning...but it who knows how quickly it will pass.

I have been hyping this game to people.  I am excited.

Should be out very soon keep your eyes peeled on the marketplace new releases.

I just popped on Live and saw Avatar Golf. Instant buy! I was in the midst of creating a course in Easy Golf. Is there any way to carry that course over or am I starting from scratch?

/me races to the 360!!!!

Sadly Grafix everything made if easy golf has to stay in easy golf, You must start your courses from scratch from avatar golf, but trust me. the editor will blow the easy golf designer away and you wont mind rebuilding from scratch.

 

I feel you Guerilla, I had an amazing course going in Easy Golf - 8 holes done. However, Avatar Golf's course designer is much better. For me, the biggest improvements are the course conditions and the more accessible beaches/ dunes creator. The three different course conditions give courses different styles; Dry - more of a links style, lush - more of a tropical style. Also, the beach creator has been very easy to design with and can be used in many different ways. I've found that shapely bunkers can be made efficiently with the beach tool; with 3 different sand types. I will be posting a new topic about the 2 courses I'm am working on in more detail. Should be some great golf holes
