Hi everyone, I'm happy to report that version 1.1 has finally been submitted to the App Store! This update ended up addressing a lot more than I was initially expecting. (I'll post the full update changes in a future post.) The biggest challenge (as a game dev) was getting the camera controls to not break the rest of the game - which it did over and over again lol. #gameDevProblems In the end I settled for a non-conventional system of "one-finger" camera controls. You can pan by dragging on the map, and, instead of two-finger pinching, double-tapping with one finger toggles you between 3 different zoom states: close-up, medium zoom, and full-zoom-out. And, of course, you can throw your disc from any view! By sticking with one-finger for the camera controls it actually feels like a natural extension of how the game normally plays. The new camera controls feel great, and it's alot easier now to setup your shots! I can't wait for you to try them.
Great. Looking forward to the changes. I admit I stopped playing and waited for them before going at it again.
Hi everyone, unfortunately Apple rejected the update because how Disc Golf To Go looks on iPads. They aren't wrong, but I found it strange because it passed with my initial release. I've always planned to go back and make the game universal - looks like I have to do it now. So the good news: Along with everything else being added in v1.1, Disc Golf To Go will also fully support iPads! I've already started the process and am finding it much easier than I expected. This shouldn't add more than an extra week or so of development time.
Hi everyone, Disc Golf To Go v1.1 has been resubmitted to the App Store (now version 1.1.1). it contains all of the updates, new features, and bug fixes listed at the top of this page - and now it supports iPads!
Awesome! And the big update is now live, everyone. Woohoo! Let me know what you think. For the next update I'm planning to concentrate on new levels.
Hi everyone, in the next update to Disc Golf To Go, Dwight gets a new course! Unfortunately this particular park hasn't had a groundskeeper in years and the "locals" don't want to be disturbed! Also, there will be some new disc art and other surprises.
Hi everyone, sorry for the longer delay in updates. I recently switched to a new laptop and had to rebuild my development process (And deal with a few crashes in between). But I'm back up and running and making new levels for Disc Golf To Go. In the next update you'll see that Dwight has recently acquired a new course! Autumn Orchards used to be the most popular disc golf course in town, but has since been boarded up and forgotten. Dwight wants to re-build it and he needs your help "testing" the levels. ...Just watch out for the wildlife, they are not happy about this development. Check out this video preview of some of the new mechanics. I'm pretty excited because it's not just more of the same. Subscribe to the TouchArcade YouTube channel
Hi everyone, I finally submitted the next update to the App Store. Once it gets approved, I'll announce a release date. Thanks for your patience! The Holiday Season (along with normal life) has made it pretty hard to find time to gamedev. I think you will enjoy these new levels. I tried to build them in such a way where just when you think you know everything about the game there's a new mechanic or new enemy that forces you to come up with a new strategy. Here's a small example, large rocks appear in later levels. Hitting them will just straight-up breaks your disc. Dwight can repair it when you restart the level, but until then you won't be able to use it. Not a big deal when it's your first shot, but on bigger levels you may need all of your discs. This definitely raises the stakes with each shot you take.

Hi everyone. Here's another peak at the next update. If you throw your disc into a maple tree it'll become covered in maple syrup (yum!). Maple syrup is a natural squirrel-repellent in the world of Disc Golf To Go! Your next shot will fly right through those squirrels as if they weren't even there. This mechanic makes for some neat puzzles later on. Usually you are avoiding trees at all costs, but now you have to try to hit some. New levels on December 6th!

Hi everyone, the new update is out, but unfortunately there is a bug that prevents the new course from opening. The bug only affects previous users who are updating. If you are a new player, or are installing fresh, you are good-to-go. I'm sorry for this! The hotfix is ready to go and will be out as soon as apple approves.
The hotfix is out. I hope you enjoy these new levels! Any feedback is appreciated. Im already starting to brainstorm for the next batch.
