Here’s some more from the team at Fellow Traveller on what the change is all about:

For the past seven years, our journey as a small indie publisher from the shores of Australia has been quite momentous. Today marks the biggest stop on that journey so far. A new name. A new vision. A chance for us to stand up and declare our love for games with something important, something special, something weird to say.

Welcome to Fellow Traveller.

From the dystopian worlds of Hacknet and Orwell, to our upcoming releases including Neo Cab, Genesis Noir and In Other Waters, Fellow Traveller is here to support developers that take a unique approach to narrative in games.

If this sounds like your kind of jam, you can follow us on our Steam publisher page, join us in The Traveller's Tavern on Discord[discord.gg] or sign up to our newsletter[eepurl.com]

Hello everyone!

So you may have noticed that we're running a pretty crazy promotion on Vertiginous Golf. For the next 24 hours, anyone with a Steam account and get the game for free, to keep and play forever. After these initial 24 hours, the game will be 50% off for the rest of the week! So grab your friends, get the game now while you can, and head to those majestic greens in the sky.

The promotion has been running for a few hours already, and the sudden influx of new players online has caused some issues for our servers. Some of you may experience issues finding your friends in the online lobby systems - we are currently working on a fix that we will roll out as soon as possible. While we thought we were prepared for a steady stream of new golfers, seems that our brand of dystopian Steampunk golf brought in more players than we originally anticipated! We thank you for your patience, and urge you all to watch out for another announcement when we've got the issue under control.

Now that we have a new set of players, we can't wait to see the high scores and records be smashed! We might even organise some kind of community cup challenge in a few weeks, so make sure you stick around the community hub.

Onward and upward, to the greens in the skies.

Hello golfers,

The Steam Summer Sale is in full swing, so tell all of your friends that they can grab Vertiginous Golf now while it's 50% off, and then get to work on some multiplayer shenanigans!

Today we're launching an update that makes some minor changes that should help with the difficulty of Vertiginous Golf. We've added a new "see through" effect which makes sure that the ball, club, bird and hole are always visible. This means that your view will never be blocked by obstacles which should help players out of some tight spots.

We've also added a simple aiming guide that will help you line up those long shots. We expect a totally impressive YouTube montage of trick shots any day now. Both the see through effect and aiming guide can be turned off in the Options menu.

Finally, we've added in some code that helps ease the ball into the hole making it slow down. We realised that people were smashing the ball when close to the hole purely by accident too often, and we hope this minor change will put an end to that.

So head to the skies! Keep cool and caddy on.

Hello Golfers,

What a crazy launch it has been. Thanks to everyone for submitting their thoughts, suggestions, and helping us knock out those weird and wonderful bugs. Today we just released a small update/hotfix that will improve your golfing experience.

It also introduces the ability to create a custom course, selecting holes from the list of Community Holes to create an amazing Community Course Playlist. With more Community Holes popping up every day, we thought it was important to queue them up and play them all in one seamless experience. In case you miss it, here's an image to show you how to get to the new playlist mode:

To that point, we're going to be highlighting some of our favourite Holes in some posts soon, so keep submitting and challenging us to beat your labrinths!

As always, the changelog is below. Enjoy!

Steve - Community Manager

Hello golfers,

After two long years of development, and fifteen months of feedback from our Early Access community, we are excited to release Vertiginous Golf for everyone!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nbXCXyVBJM

The completed version has 45 challenging courses for you all to navigate, a story to unravel, traditional multiplayer locally and online, plus Race and Battle Arena modes, and a course editor so you can create your own courses and share them with the community.

We hope you enjoy the final product, and continue to provide feedback in the Steam community.

We'll have some community cups in the coming months where the entire VG community can have some fun online, so stay tuned.

Keep Cool & Caddy On

Hello golfers!

As we march closer towards the May 6 release date for everyone's favourite dystopian steampunk mini-golf adventure game, Vertiginous Golf, we thought now would be a good time to talk about how a narrative exists in the world of Lun-Donne.

We sat down with Christian Holland, one half of the Vertiginous Golf development team, to answer the question everyone has been asking - how do you put a story into a golf game?

Not long to wait for version 1.0. Once again, we cannot thank you enough for helping us build Vertiginous Golf during the Early Access stage, and we're super excited to see the crazy courses you guys create!

Steve - Community Manager.

Keep cool and caddy on golfers, we have some exciting news about the release of Vertiginous Golf to share!

After two years of development, we are excited to reveal that Vertiginous Golf will be launching as version 1.0 on May 6 for PC, Mac and Linux. To celebrate, here's a brand new trailer that shows off some of the more advanced features, and reveals a little from the mysterious tale that awaits our adventurous golfers out there.

Vertiginous Golf will bring 45 challenging courses, along with a fully-fledged course creator, and Steam Workshop support. There is also online and offline multiplayer - both of the regular golfing and insane humminbird warfare varieties, along with daily challenges, avatar customisation, and more.

Now that we have a release date locked in, and content is feature complete, we have to thank each and every one of you who supported us in Early Access. Thanks to your tireless play sessions, we have received real data and feedback that has helped us shape and mould the game into what is has become today. Thinking back to the very first release of Vertiginous Golf, we certainly have come a long way!

Over the next few weeks you can expect some updates from us, along with some friendly competitions and online sessions so you can get the upper hand before the game launches to the public. See you on the greens!
