Alright so here is a brief update.

1) East Lake - Yes we are working hard on something for the PGA Tour.  Live 24/7 virtual TV coverage of the event.  Watch every shot by every player if you like live in a virtual 3D environment.  Wake up on Thursday morning and select your featured group and watch them tee off on the first hole and play their round, with leaderboards, scorecards and player banners.  We are really excited about this development and its potential 

2) Course Forge - You will see Course Forge this year - We just have had other things that have prevented us from putting the finishing touches on it.  We have however already provided Course Forge commercially with great success to other companies building golf related products.  One customer said... "We've been working with CF for a few days now and it really is an amazing tool and its really saving us on our project."

3) Perfect Golf - We have a working game which basically allows you to play golf on our content.  This will be the main focus of our development over the next couple of months. 

4) Builds - We now have a MAC guru on board who is responsible for all our MAC related builds of our programs.

5) Courses - We are nearing completion on our first 10 pack of courses and are currently working on about 2 new ones per week.  the goal is to get as close to 40 by the end of the year as we can

So you can see although we are quiet around here we have been very busy.  I know its frustrating when we are not posting all the time but to be honest when you are working for 14 hours a day at the PC it is hard to get on the forums and post.  No excuses just how it is.

Although the East Lake will be a closed beta we are hopeful that everyone registered to this forum will be invited to check it out.

That's some excellent news, AJ. Thanks and we look forward to seeing the new stuff relatively soon!

[IanD]

Appreciate your time Andrew... looking forward to hearing you all shout FORE!

[ERASERhead1]

Andrew, everything you said sounds so awesome.

[Kablammo11]

Thanks, Andrew. The needle on my excite-o-meter twitched at "You will see CourseForge this year",  "MAC guru on board" and "We have a working game". 

And of course it twitched hardest when I saw your lovely face on your Admin avatar beaming at me after such a long absence. Don't be a stranger.

My needle's been twitching for a while now ...... but then I do spend my time flicking between here and a local Escort Agency site!!   

[Jimbo63]

Great news Andrew.

[Ron Piskorik]

Thanks for the update Andrew.  I was starting to get worried by the lack of progress in the last few months but it looks like there has been quite a bit of progress. 

[BurdieBoy]

everything you said sounds so awesome.

looking forward to play a round of  Perfect Golf and perhaps an attempt to make a golf course with CF.

Thanx for the great news opdate, Andrew

[mjhamilton113]

That list of news is exciting for sure. It's great to have an update

[Harald]

Thanks AJ for this Informations. Sounds all very good to me an i can't wait till we can play and test the first Courses!

[Brucey Mc]

Great news Andrew, any info on what the courses being worked on are?  There is the list of eight courses already but I guess that is incomplete?  Are you still looking for volunteers to go and photograph courses for you, as I'll soon by looking at planning my next holiday!

[garynorman]

Good stuff...  I haven't posted on here in a while (not much to comment on ), but I do check here most days and it's good to see some signs of progress.

[Gene315]

Andrew thanks for providing an update.

[Dazmaniac]

Thanks AJ.

 

That was one heck of an update. Some exciting stuff in there, especially Option 1.

This is thinking way ahead and down the road, but regards Option 1 - would there be the potential for taking the actual player rounds and creating recorded rounds from these? If the round can be be viewed on the virtual course as you are hoping, it would be great to actually play against the rounds too.

 

Glad to hear CF is getting some good feedback from the consumer.

 

Good news on the Course Pack (any chance you can offer up some details of what courses are included?)

 

Also, glad to hear many more are being worked on. I'm sure CF is helping get the courses built in such short time frames without them losing anything in the quality stakes (as it seems so much more user friendly than APCD).

 

Look forward to the future progress of PP.

Told you AJ posts in bursts....that was a big burst! Cheers for the update.

[Mav78]

great news, I picked a good day to check back in on the forum! I see many are getting impatient with things going slowly, which I find odd considering the last game was 2k3! I prefer time is taken, even if it is another year as this game is going to be a cracker takes as long as u want I say

[Carnoustie]

great news,all sounds good.

[KenR]

Thanks for the update, AJ. Very exciting news for everyone!
