Holy smokes, you have been busy! That is so much good stuff (that smart watch is exactly the kind of nerdy thing I love, haha) and I cannot wait to give it a shot tonight. Your course designs are great and I look forward to being able to play your full fledged 18 hole course eventually. I wonder if we can find some professional disc golf course designers who might be willing to donate some of their designs (because they're bored at home right now!) to future courses. It's unfortunate that Oculus denied you, but I suspect it's only because they want to see more development (course content, as you're going to soon release, and multiplayer, which we all know is a larger endeavor) before they bring it into the fold. I'm sure you'll get in on your next attempt!

Hey Shdw, so glad you enjoy the concept of the watch, I hope you'll like it in-game. Great to hear you look forward to more of the course, I'm working on the back 9 as we speak!
Having actual course designers help out with fleshing more courses is actually a great idea. I think after I release this next update (which will be around 6/5), I'll look into something like that, and see if we can't get someone on board :)
It is unfortunate about the Oculus pitch, but I'm grateful there are options to apply multiple times, definitely have high hopes for this in the near future.
Also, got my second Quest in, so am looking forward to starting multiplayer development!
I feel guilty that I have not found time to play the latest version, even with the three day weekend. My only defense is that I was busy being productive IRL, heh.
You'll definitely get into the Oculus store once you've fleshed it out with more holes and multiplayer. It would be stupid for them to pass it up at that point, as I assume that they get to skim at least a little off the top and FG is a great example of a relaxing social game for all ages.
Speaking of which, I'm sure it's already in your list, but private parties are an absolute must since I'm a crotchety old man (with crotchety old friends) when compared to most of the young ones who dominate the social VR landscape.
