Teams mode out in the beta branch! And customization!

First of all, it's been a while.

Sorry for lacking in communication, the not ideal launch of the game (lack of players) got me demotivated for more than a few months. With that out of the way, for the past month I worked on a fairly big update, many players were dissapointed you had to share a ball with your 'friends', so now you don't have to anymore.

You can separate in up to 4 teams to see who is the best ball juggler golfer of all time!

To access the beta branch follow these steps in the images.

Right click the game and select properties

Go to Betas

In the private betas section write 'operationmapleleaf' and hit enter, that should enable the beta branch for you, and you are good to go!

If you are unsure whether it worked correctly, open the game and check at the bottom left for the version number, it should show V1.1

Anyway, that's it for today, will add details on patch notes in a few days/weeks once I am sure this version is not somehow extremely broken, and hopefully we get more players so I can earn enough money to not starve and keep development of this game.

PS added a new hidden achievement, I'm sure everyone will love it!

So, to start rolling out some changes I decided to use a beta branch in case anything breaks or goes weird. This update in particular should be safe since it doesn't really have anything that directly impacts gameplay, but I feel like it's a good practice to test stuff out instead of just yoloing it. If you don't know how to start the beta, here is how: Right c…
