Golf With Your Friends Hotfix now LIVE!

Hey there Golfers!

Thank you for your patience as we have worked to resolve a few issues from our last update! We have now released a hotfix for the following issues:

Linux:
Resolved graphical issues on Bouncy Castle Course.

Level Editor Fixes:


  • Objects will now respect the state of the Snap setting when initially placed from the palette.
  • Softlock resolved when testing a course containing the 6x6Ramp+2_Base_deep object.
  • Manipulating planes in the object movement widget now respects the snap setting.
  • The Workshop course select menu can now display over 50 subscribed courses.
  • Quick-place functionality reimplemented for objects already in the scene.

    This differs slightly from the original implementation. Upon pressing the quick-place key (default alt), a new copy will immediately appear on the cursor and can be placed freely.

    Known Issue: Only the first copied object will retain height/scale/rotation values. This can be worked around by re-pressing the quick place key after placing a copy, and will be fixed in an upcoming update!

That's all for now, Golfers! Keep an eye on our page for any further updates as we continue to take on your feedback!

If you have any general feedback, we'd love to know! You can make a post in the General Discussions for this. If you are experiencing any issues with the game, get in touch with us in the Report a Problem forum and our Support Team will be in touch!

Golf With Your Friends Bouncy Castle Course Linux Issues

Hey there Golfers!

We are aware of some graphical issues that are occurring with the Bouncy Castle update for Linux players. This has lead to an inconsistency in version numbers that meant Linux players were not able to play with Windows and Mac players.

A patch has been deployed to fix this, however the Bouncy Castle Course still has graphical issues on the Linux setups we have tested. Therefore, we have temporarily disabled the purchase of the new course from Linux devices.

Whilst we work to resolve these issues, we would recommend that Linux users avoid playing the new course with PC/Mac hosts, feel free to continue to play all other courses and game modes as normal.


FAQ:

Can I buy the Bouncy Castle Course?

We have disabled purchasing from a Linux device whilst we look into this, but you can still purchase it from a Mac/Windows device.

I am a Linux user, what happens if I try to play the Bouncy Castle Course?

You may experience graphical artefacts that substantially hinder your play experience. You can play the course in full, but your gameplay experience will not be what we intended, and you do so at your own risk.

Can I play with the new cosmetics?

The Racing Pack and Summer Party Pack are separate to the Bouncy Castle course and are working as intended on Linux.

When will the Bouncy Castle Course be available on Linux?

We are currently looking into the issue and will provide and update when we have one. In the interim feel free to place your bug reports on the Report A Problem sub forum.

That's all for now, Golfers! Keep an eye on our page for any further updates!

Update regarding BackTrace Reporting

Following reports from our players, we have become aware of an issue with our error reporting in Golf With Your Friends since yesterdays patch. Specifically, this was sending us the games entire debugging file by mistake - per error instead of the individual error alone. This of course means the data files were larger than necessary (eg. 360kb per error report instead of 60kb which is normal)

Our team needs to investigate the issue, so we will be temporarily turning BackTrace reporting off while we do this.

We apologise for any inconvenience or confusion this update has caused and will keep you updated with any changes and fixes we make.

Golf With Your Friends - Analytics Patch 1.2

Hi golfers!

Weve released a patch to address some reported issues and also add in some metrics that will allow us to get a better understanding of how players are interacting with the game.

Weve implemented analytics tracking purely so we can get a read of how players are interacting with the game! For example, it will allow us to see which course is the most played.

In the event that you see [noparse]ads.t17service.com[/noparse] in a filter pop-up, this is nothing to be alarmed about. This is not an advertising feature ads stands for Amazon Directory Service. This is simply the service we use to manage configuration data in game, for example: links to social media channels, or authenticating multiplayer services with our provider.

If you do not want to have analytics tracked in your game, you can choose to opt out of this in the in-game options menu.

If you encounter any issues when playing Golf With Your Friends, please post in our forum or submit a support ticket through our website.

A full list of changes can be found below

[h2]Patch Notes[/h2]

Added:


  • Added in game metrics to help us understand how players engage with different parts of the game.


Fixes:

  • Fixed an issue where front end music will briefly play at the default volume when first loading into the front end
  • Fixed an issue with anti-aliasing setting not retaining its state
  • Fixed an issue where an offensive player name doesn't become censored after a player enables the profanity filter
  • Fixed an issue where the game does not register the ball is in the hole if pushed in by another ball
  • Fixed an issues where the player was unable to continue if another player hits them into the hole
  • Fixed an issue where you could not press 'enter' to join a password lobby, only the mouse
  • Fixed an issue where the bindings are reset on both Keyboard and Gamepad controls if defaults are applied on either one
  • Fixed a bug where Keytips for gameplay functions remained visible when spectating other players after scoring
  • Fixed a problem where the previous player's HUD text briefly overlaps with the "Your turn' HUD text of the next player when the previous player completes the current hole in any way
  • Fixed an issue where the 'Free-cam' tutorial tip will display in-game whilst playing in a mode that has Free-cam Time set to 0/disabled
  • Fixed a problem that caused in-game friends that are set to 'Away' on Steam to appear after 'Online' friends that are not running the title on the Frontend Friends list
  • Fixed visual issues with the shot counter UI in practice mode
  • Fixed a problem where the turn timer UI element flickers when pausing the game
  • other general fixes & Improvements.

Let's move on to what's new with this launch version!

The Escapists Course

  • A new flag indicator - handy if you're a bit lost on a course! This can also be accessible anytime using the freecam.

  • New menu sound effects and animations to make the UI more fun to be in as you make your way to a game.
  • We've added single player statistics.
  • We've added a forfeit hole mechanic if you just want to move on!

Volcanic Update - Patch 1

Hey Golfers,

A patch has just gone live fixing the most reported issues by the community, thank you everyone for your reports to the 'Report a Problem' section here on Steam and tickets sent to our support team which has helped us with the fixes!

These are the changes:


  • Space hole 3 pipe has now been fixed and collision within the pipe should act as expected - players should no longer get stuck outside it.
  • Fixed the issue that prevented some of our users placing assets in the level editor.
  • Fixed an issue where some assets in the level editor could not be selected.
  • We fixed an error and softlock which sometimes occured on importing and attempting to publish a course from the old editor that was not previously published.
  • Fixed a softlock if a player retired and saved on exit from level editor and then immediately played a workshop course game.


We hope everyone is having fun with the new Volcano course and we can't wait to see what amazing courses the community will make for the Steam Workshop!

If you encounter any further issues please get in contact with our help team here: https://www.team17.com/support/ or submit your problem on the Steam forums:

Happy New Year!



We just wanted to take the time to wish everyone a great NewYears! We live in Brisbane Australia so It has just hit midnight! We wanted to thank everyone for the amazing amount of support and love we have received in the last few years, this is our very first game as all 3 of us are self-taught so it has been a crazy experience.

We never intended to put Golf With Your Friends on steam or even make it our full time jobs as it was only intended for our close friends around Australia as we had moved a lot throughout our lives.

It was originally free on itch.io however many people pushed for us to jump into steams greenlight and develop the game further we are so thankful for that as after a very nerve-wracking greenlight period we made it to steam!

We are so very happy for the community that has grown around the game, the amazing workshop maps people have created and for the tremendous amount of friendships we have acquired throughout.

2019 will be amazing for Golf With Your Friends and we will not stop until everything is ironed out, we understand there is many issues currently with the game and we do hear you, these will be addressed in the new year along with a lot more!

Stay safe and have a great night! We hope 2019 is an amazing year for everyone!

We would like to thank everyone for the insane amount of support from our lovely community and we are blown away by the number of amazing maps that have been created. We have a secret idea we may possibly go ahead with to reward popular map makers but that’s very hush hush for now.
We have 10 new Halloween items for 2018, Please remember that these items are only obtainable this year much like the 2017 Halloween items.



Level Editor
Skybox's and Music


Currently the editor is still in an early stage I have added a few new assets and in the coming months I’ll be focusing on fleshing out the current themes, Terrain manipulation is on its way :) we currently have a very rough version working but its going to take a while to flesh out.

But what's new in this update?
Skyboxes and music, finally!

To access these just press escape then use the sliders, just don't press exit :) sorry about that.


Floaties!
Finally, we have floaties in game, currently we only have 10 floaties but I will be adding more as we go.
As for skins they may be a while off due to the amount of work needed on the level editor and upcoming theme.

Level Editor Phase 1! + Update





Where have you been?
Hey all!
We apologize for being MIA for a while, we didn’t have all that much to show for last month due to working purely on the editor but here’s what we are currently up to.
- Updated unity to 2018! (soon we will be able to make shaders and cool stuff a lot faster).
- Base foundation of the editor is done!
- 3 of the 6 themes are fairly populated with assets.
- Currently in the process of getting an office (this means we can possibly hire more developers!) the 3 of us are extremely excited about potentially growing our team, however this wont be for quite some time.

PLEASE READ!
Yes, the editor works, but it's still rather buggy so please save your maps often, things may go wrong so please be patient and we will get fixes out when we can, for now the editor is for you all to play with and get creative. We wont baby you with the editor because we know you are all intelligent human beings, however a tutorial will come along with many stability fixes and new assets to work with!



What is in the editor so far?
Glad you asked, currently its bare bones but useable (fingers crossed) this is early access and including everyone in this process will help us fix and evolve the editor as it progresses. (NOT ITS FINAL FORM!)
- One terrain (grass). No terrain manipulation just yet.
- 6 themes with 3 being populated a lot more than others.

What’s to come?
We have many crazy ideas and things we would love to add but here is the current list of things we still need to add.
- Music selection
- Skybox/theme selection + terrain type
- Terrain manipulation (painting and sculpting mountains, etc.)
- MORE assets for the current themes
- Even more themes!
- Special asset items
- Currently I have taken animated animals, etc. out but they will return
- Game mode types
- Heaps more! But ill keep them a secret for now!

Known issues
- Possible issue with mac saving and loading maps
- Sometimes controls may freeze up in the editor
- You need to save before you publish
- Camera sometimes removes itself
- Items getting stuck when scrolling
- Some objects dont rotate
- Location, rotation and scale numbers dont update when initially placing objects
- Pars dont update in the editor
- No way to adjust custom settings just yet

Update 1.106.0 | Testing workshop maps and bug fixes

Hello Everyone!

Super sorry for the delay, ran into issues that needed to be sorted out.

Testing Developer made workshop maps! No editor just yet :(
So, a few of you might have noticed the GWYF workshop visible with a few maps on there, these are made by us to test the editor.
In this update you'll be free to play these but expect a few bugs, we'll sort these out over the next few days.

We will also be adding more to each of these maps until they are full 18hole courses along with other maps for testing.

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone in the experimental build for testing extremely glitched versions for us.



Once this build is stable I'll be finishing off the editor so you all can make maps, you can check out the progress every week on our livestreams here.

Late Easter items
Due to the delay we have officially changed Easter to today, we have 5 items and will run the drops until the end of May.



Changelog
[Added] Workshop menu
[Added] Ability to play workshop maps
[Fixed] Par popups flashing on screen
[Fixed] Hockey achievements
[Changed] Selecting map now automatically takes you back to the lobby
[Changed] Tons of assets have been re-worked and fixed for the editor

Known issue
- Scaling of UI elements is off for different ratios


[ 2018-04-10 14:40:03 CET ] [ Original post ]

Getting there.

Hey everyone
Yes, its another boring news post.

We are still hammering away at the level editor, obviously we would have wanted it out months ago but building an editor from scratch does take time.
However not much longer ;)
As stated in the last update we have most of the foundation built for the editor there’s just a few annoying glitches and things to add.

Video example
Here’s a terrible video I threw together tonight to show 5 holes being made in the editor (yes they are bad) also excuse my video editing skills :)

https://youtu.be/cK0fJAkCSEM

Assets
A lot of themes are now in the process of receiving even more foliage, course pieces, Etc Which again takes a very long time, (model asset, sculpt details, bake said details, paint asset, make prefab in unity) the whole process takes quite a while and we would much rather build everything in house so you get a unique experience worth your money instead of buying hundreds of assets that dont match and every other game uses.



Once I feel the 6 themes have a substantial amount of assets to work with I will be working on new themes, so please let me know what you’d like to see. And yes space is on the list :P
Here’s a list of themes id like to look further into
- Space or space station
- Volcanic
- Actual golf courses
- Tundra/Snow
- Carnival
- Medieval

But we want the editor now!

Now I’m not saying we will release it sooner but there may be the possibility of us either releasing some workshop maps we have made for players to play in the mean time or exposing our closed beta testers (mainly our moderators) to the editor and allowing them to make you maps for now… however, I completely understand how unfair that sounds.

Easter Event

Another thing to note is I am currently unsure if I will have enough items for the Easter update, so please do not be too disappointed ill make up for it during Halloween.


Twitch

I just wanted to do a short update to stay transparent with everyone :) also please join us on twitch 10am AEST ( Australian Eastern Standard Time) every Tuesday we show off new stuff and the editor :) - https://www.twitch.tv/blacklightinteractive

Thank you <3

We are still alive! (How is the editor going?)

Hey all!
Sorry for the lack of updates recently, the main reason behind this is the progress on the editor, I also want to thank you all for your patience and for still supporting us! We are working all day every day and understand the pain of waiting for things you want super bad, This weekend we have to fly across the country for a wedding and i think you are all entitled to know whats going on and when we are out of the office (tiny room in our home xD).

We will still be working while over there (book work and sketching) so don’t stress too much!

So, what is to come?
We now have workshop working with the ability to save/load and publish maps to the workshop with images (taken using cameras in game) Publishing maps takes no time at all maybe a second or two and downloading maps also only takes a few seconds which now allows players to join custom workshop maps instantly.




Assets?
We currently have 5 themes working and will have 6 very soon once the Graveyard set is ready.
Along side the assets we already have in the classic game we now also have a ton of extra assets which is super exciting, these items also include revamped old assets such as the housing in forest!
;) There will be hundreds more to come as well!



Forgive my terrible map but this is a quick example of what you can currently build, We still need to work on backgrounds, skybox’s and more visual assets to flesh out the environments.




So whats left?
Currently we need to get the loading of maps working in the game so you can play multiplayer, a lot of bug fixes for example scaling of objects is glitched but still works with T and drag, we want to include a CTL-Z feature hopefully that wont be too difficult and we also want a butt load of assets per theme so there is a huge variety for you all. :)

Fingerscrossed all of this goes perfect and we dont run into too many issues but as usual i cannot give an ETA on the next update or the editor due to everything being trial and error.

Hockey achievments will come next update!
I want to thank you all for the support and for waiting this long, we know its taking a long time but this is our first game and there is only 3 of us making everything from scratch. it will be worth the wait!
LETS SMASH THIS OUT! :)

<3

Valentines Day items!



Hey everyone, I hope all is well.
Valentine’s Day items are now live, I know its super early, but it’ll give everyone a chance to get their hands on them.

There are only 7 new items this time 5 hats and 2 trails due to work on the editor but don’t worry Easter will be a good one ;)
Have a great week and thank you for the support we have gone through all reports and are working around the clock to get fixes in, more cheat prevention and work on the editor! Please be patient we promise the wait will be worth it.
I also want to thank everyone again for the continued support, understanding and helping us in the development on gwyf, this is our first game and we have learnt so much! Thank you for being a part of this it means the world to the three of us.

Update 1.105.0

Hey all
Hope everyone had a great holiday.
Sorry for the delay on this build, holiday theme lasted a lot longer than it should have.

This update is to prepare the menus and UI pieces for the coming level editor, which is why it has taken some time considering we have rewritten the menu, leader board, etc. (also for team modes)

So please don’t be too mad at us we are trying our absolute best to get everything done, it takes a long time with only one programmer, also modelling and hand painting everything your selves. However, we hope it pays off in the end with a unique style, composed music (soundtrack release soon), a ton of themes especially for use in the editor and so much more.

Again, thank you all so much for the support and being a part of our first game!



Changelog
[Added] New menu for level and mode selection
[Added] New leader-board
[Added] Colour grading for Pirate Cove
[Added] Small angle on hoop neck to avoid balls getting stuck
[Added] Hockey mode

[Changed] Puck now slides more, let me know if this causes issues
[Changed] How we get usernames

[Fixed] Discord Link
[Fixed] Lock frame-rate not applying on load
[Fixed] Options menu appearing behind leader board
[Fixed] Screen flashing when loading maps
[Fixed] Some lag due to lighting
[Fixed] Mac crashes
[Fixed] Conveyor getting custom shapes stuck on it
[Fixed] Spawn on Pirate hole 5.. hopefully
[Fixed] Bounce-back from half pipe on Forest hole 13
[Fixed] Some clipping on Pirate

[Removed] Holiday theme
[Removed] Holiday items from drop

[Potential fix] For Nvidia issues

Happy Holidays! | Christmas Event | 1.104.0 Update


Hey Everyone!
Hope you're all in the holiday spirit!
Today we've got a small update for you guys and a bit of a dev update.

Holiday event!
During this month you'll be able to unlock a selection of new holiday themed trails and hats, we have made these more likely to drop than what their rarity shows, we'll more than likely extend this into the new year, so you have more time to pimp your golfing rock.

For people concerned that the creation of these items has halted progress on the level editor, fear not! DominantDino has solely worked on these items just as he did for the Halloween event.



Editor progress
The Editor is coming but we want a solid and decent editor before we release the first build.
I’m still learning quite a bit but also working on ways to prevent people from ruining games.
Check out our twitch channel for video of the editor in progress and other development related content.

Thanks you!
From the 3 of us at Blacklightinterative we want to thank everyone for the support throughout this year and for the future, positive or negative feedback has helped us more than you can imagine.

As most of you are aware this is our very first game and we want to give you as much content and uniqueness as we possibly can, we will not stop until this game is amazing and has hours of content!

Happy Holidays!
Blacklight Interactive wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Safe and Happy Holidays!

Hello!
Hope you’re all doing well.

We’re releasing pirate cove into experimental as we’re heading to Pax and won’t be able to fix anything major, we think it’s better to not rush it to public just yet.

Let us know of any bugs or suggestions here and we’ll sort them out when we get back.

Thanks for the help, sorry for the delay.

How to access this build?
Swap to the experimental build under the games Steam settings in the beta’s tab.
Make sure you’re not running the game when you do this.

Golf With Your Ghouls month long event + Progress update.




Hey Everyone!
As we all know Halloween isn't far away, so we decided to run an event all throughout the rest of October.
Don’t stress about the large download size, we are just getting files ready for the next level and level editor which now has over 300+ assets to use!

We were rushed a little for this update so let us know of any issues and we'll get them sorted as soon as possible.

Halloween
The event will run through October, We have changed the lobby/practice area to feel a little bit spookier (If that’s even a word) and we have 13 new hats/trails that are available only during this event!



EHMGERD file size is so large!
Its unfortunate but not all bad news!, the large file size is due to the amount of assets in the level editor and also the files for the next level.
Please don’t cut our heads off over the updates file sizes.

Next Map
The pirate level is nearly ready for testing :) I have hole 18 to complete and then we can push to experimental! who's excited?

Level Editor
You can now add spawn positions and hole detectors in the editor and test the holes you create from start to finish. Video

We are up to adding workshop support aswell as saving and loading local maps.

Change Log
[Engine] Updated Unity to 2017.1.1f1

[Added] Toggle chat button
[Added] Halloween practice theme

Update on progress

Hey all
Again we would like to thank everyone for the support it means so much to us.
Wheel and I have been working super hard and even mazaski has taken some time out of studying to help transfer assets to the editor.

Pirate cove (Name still unsure)
I currently still have the last 4 holes to go which may take some time considering what I want to have at the end, I still need to do a ton of assets for around the map and then we can test, add bounds, etc.
These shots are not the final look to the level there is still a ton to do and also a ton of visual things to go in.







Level editor
Here’s a few shots of some of the assets. We still have a ton more to add and will also be making more to include so there will be a lot of choice.







Sorry for such a short update but the rest is all programming and rather boring, on a side note im also working on the items for Halloween :) (Hats,trails,etc).
Heres a sneak peak of one.


We hope you all have a great weekend and we will keep smashing this out.
Thanks a bunch!

Update 1.101.8 | Fixes

Hey
This update contains a few fixes for the last few updates.

"Why add trails, work on the editor!!!!"
Art and code are completely different, stopping art from being created wont speed up the code being written.

It’s hard to balance what we work on and with 3 devs (1 learning code) it takes some time to add and fix everything, we are trying our best and appreciate the patience.

We won't stop until we believe the game is up to the community standard.

Thanks!

Changelog
[Fixed] Original trail only shows when no custom trail is applied
[Fixed] Trails continuing onto the next hole
[Fixed] Music slider not working in-game
[Removed] Online being greyed out

Quick Update.

Quick Update
Hey all we thought it would be a good idea to give everyone an update so it doesn’t seem like the game is dead.

We are currently working on a ton of stuff such as offline mode, Hats, level editor and more as most of you are aware we are a 3 person team so things do take longer ( Mazaski is also learning code to help wheel who is the main programmer ). We would have had an update out with a lot of bug fixes, slight changes to maps, pars, AND HATS! But we are currently waiting on the green light for hats to be available on steam which might take some time.

Again I’d like to thank everyone for the amazing support and we know early access can be a tedious and annoying phase for video games but I assure you we will not bail on the game, Even once out of early access and completed we plan to keep adding themes and other fun content to the game. We are also gamers and know how devastating it is when a game just goes quiet and eventually gets left behind by the developers.
This is another reason why we haven’t gone towards releasing on console just yet (If we ever do), we would like to complete the game and provide more than enough content for the price of the game. Then we will work towards console, Even I’d love to have the game on console.
To make up for how quiet we have been ill share some secret images of upcoming items :) and yes the rarer items are animated.

After hats there will be trails, skins and boats/Floaties.


Cheers everyone.

Hello!
Sorry for the delay, today we are releasing 1.99.0 previously known as 0.0.99, please post any bug reports in the bug reports section on the Steam forums.

This update contains keybinding and a bunch of fixes.
The Ancient map is still under development alongside the level editor, I’ll go into more detail below.

We are now using the [Major,Minor,Revision] method to name our versions.

Keybinding
You can now rebind keys for all the actions in game, I want to make this more advanced in the future.


Ancient progress
Ancient is looking better everyday, be sure to catch up on the progress of this map and other additions on our Twitch

They are pretty slow and boring so be warned, but it will give you an idea of what we do, our progress and how long it takes.




Level editor
I'll start to focus more on the level editor over the next few weeks, please bare in mind that I am the only programmer and these things take time.
The Ancient map will still go ahead as planned and shouldn't be held back.
There is no ETA on this yet.

Thanks for the support!

Update 0.0.96 | Haunted House and New Music



Hello!

Firstly, big thanks to the people who helped test the experimental builds, there will still be fixes in the next few updates but we would have never found all these issues in that time frame.

New Music

We have replaced all in-game music for fully licensed, tailor made tracks by Kris Wiltshire.
The reason for this is that we have full control over these tracks and users may use these on anything Golf with your friends related.

New Haunted Map

Prepare to be spooked, this update introduces the 4th map to the game, Haunted.
Sorry this took so long to get released we had quite a lot going on during development, we will still add fixes and changes to this map depending on the feedback we get.

Have a great weekend, thank you so much for supporting us.

To get into experimental:

0.0.9 Crashing

First off, sorry you have to deal with this.

Currently we are unsure why some people are having their games crash.
After a lot of testing we have not yet found a cause.

I will be updating a branch called crashtesting found in the betas tab in the games settings, if you can test that and give me the results, it will help us greatly.

Some things you can try:
Update Windows
Update Graphics
Run Steam as admin
Verify game files
Restart

Im trying to work out whats causing this issue, it seems to affect windows 10 more so than any other but because all our systems run fine I dont have a computer to troubleshoot.

If you could send any crash reports to blacklightinteractive@hotmail.com
Along with:
Operating system.
32 or 64 bit

If anything works for you, please let us know here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/431240/discussions/0/357287935540516933

Again, real sorry guys.
Im trying my best, thank you for your patience.

Attention: Game Name Change

Due to trademark limitations and conflicts, we are starting the process to change the game name from "GOLF WITH FRIENDS" to "GOLF WITH YOUR FRIENDS".

This is completely out of our control. To limit the negative effects of a name change we have kept it as close to the original as possible.

Over the next few days we will be making changes to the game and our respective social media networks.
This will set back our development but we can’t avoid it.

Please dont suggest additional names, this is the most logical for our situation.
Everything else will stay the same, there will just be a name change.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hello everyone!

Our new update is available for testing on our experimental branch.
We would love if Mac and Linux users could give it a try and let us know how you go. (We understand there will need to be some optimizations)

Read the full changelog and report issues here.

We have both of these systems inhouse but our linux system is quite dated and does not give us an idea of how the game would run with the community.

How do you access experimental? Watch this handy video.

Once we get testing out of the way the update will go live.

Thanks!
