GrifGolf has come a long way in the last three months. A lot of adjusting and gameplay changes have helped it evolve to reach it's potential. Many, many hours were spent on what seems like a simple map. But the idea always remained the same: Blow up the other teams base.

The game plays much differently than Grifball. This is due to it naturally being in the Skybubble and is also due to the fact of the custom settings. Each player can have one of three sets of health, speed, etc.

Base Player Traits:
Damage Resistance 1000%
No Shields
Damage Modifier 100%
Player Speed 100%
Player Gravity 100%
Sensors 25 Meters

Bomb Carrier Traits:
Damage Resistance 300%
Normal Shields
Damage Modifier 300%
Player Speed 125%
Player Gravity 75%
Sensors Unchanged

Custom Powerup Traits:
Duration 10 seconds
Damage Resistance 500%
x2 Shields
Shield Recharge Rate 90%
Damage modifier UNCHANGED
Player Speed 200%
Player Gravity UNCHANGED
Sensors Unchanged

Custom powerups are not placed at start and spawn alternately at 60 seconds and 90 seconds. The increase in speed takes a while to be mastered. The player who acquires this should still be considered a serious threat.

When you fall to your death or die, your respawn wait is 3 seconds. You spawn under the scaffolding or in the base.

This game, created for 3v3 & 4v4 action, still has some decent aethestics implemented into the map. pictures following later will display this. In this new version, we tried to use FXs to increase the overall appeal of the map. These attempts were unsucessful, so we looked into something else. We eventually came up with some major changes, including:

Overhang at each base to allow easier bomb planting
Redesigning of the bases, keeping only half of the original design
Making all of the platforms at the same height (pushed under the Skybubble)
Redesigned the middle for smoothness/ aesthetics
Interlocked bomb plant and neutral bomb spawn
Switched out pallets
Added more Obelisks
Added reflective Golfballs
Added alternating custom powerups
Moved the saffoldings back a little
Changed the bottom text to add on budget
Removed bomb spawns that were at the ground level

So those were pretty much all of the changes, which all had some affect on the map or my well-being. Now, without further ado, screenshots...

Map appearance for the first 45 seconds

Map appearance after 45 seconds

Map appearance after 60 seconds

Blue Base (Red has the same design)

More open than v2 and also includes an overhang

New middle

Bomb pickup

Golfball Guardians watch over you

Yes, please do so. Also, in-game, you won't look at the "Sloppiness" since it never is viewed at ground level

Action Shots

Meeting at the Middle

Opps missed a step!

Give me your money!

Aww dang! So Close!
