Disc Golf Masters

Game has been a lot of fun, and has a lot of promise if it receives ongoing support Critical feedback: Multiplayer - Play order is a must. Presently multiplayer feels like a bunch of people playing solitair in the same room because everybody throws out of order, playing as quickly or slowly as they like. Players should have teeing order, and spectating (with an option for timers). Watching other people's shots is part of disc golf, and this game is worse in its absence - The multiplayer feels held together with duct tape at the moment. Lobbies are unstable and often break after a single game or if you change the course, requiring you to remake them. You can't access customizations to your bag or discs while sitting in a lobby. Mechanics: - Wind: wind is weird in this game. Sometimes a headwind makes a disc more overstable because it slows it down, sometimes it turns it over. Cross winds don't feel very impactful overall. I suspect some of this is because winds are a range from X to Y mph. Realistic, but unpleasant gameplay. Wind should be more consistent, or more readable. -Ground action: 10% of throws exhibit ground play like I'd expect them to IRL. Most often, the discs just king of velcro to the ground without any clear reason why. Occasionally you get huge hover skips in those same spots. It feels a bit arbitrary and inconsistent. - fly over camera: A servicable implementation currently, but OB and mandos should be more visible, and a more free-camera mode should be available. This should serve the role of a tee-sign, but often the overhead camera obscures lines and OB features because of tree foliage Content: - More courses: I love how there's variation within maps for different layouts. Eventually though, I think it'd be a huge selling point to include pro-level courses for fans to play the courses they see on the pro tour. Also fall versions of courses without foliage would be cool. - Achievements or objectives: Currently the only objectives are getting -9 on each course layout. Having more specific and interesting objectives like get an X distance drive, get an under par score on Y course without a single par, stuff like that would breath real life into the game - Skins and effects: People will pay for goofy skins and disc effects they can show off to their friends; especially so if you have to spectate them while they throw. A chicken suit. A rainbow follow-flight tracker. Sell these at reasonable prices to fund the development of courses, discs, challenges, and other fun content that keeps the game alive. - Advancement: currently you get better in the game by mastering the throwing mechanics, and understanding your bag. I think the game would be elevated with a system where your character has stats, which make the mechanics of the game more or less forgiving based on the "XP" you rack up while playing. Throw 30 forehands and 10 backhands? Your Forehand stat goes up, and your backhand stat goes down a bit, making backhands something you need to be more precise with to "train" back up, and allows your forehand to fly a little further than another player who is backhand dominant. This would create a sense of ownership and advancement over your character. Currently it feels a little weird that every player has identically perfect mechanics in every type of throw they perform, and that homogeneity kind of makes the game feel a bit blander as a result
