What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early access makes the most sense for An Other Golf Game at this time. Simply because not all the planned features are in the game yet. I am deeply passionate about developing this game and dedicated to gathering player feedback to continuously improve it. My commitment extends not just to completing the game but also to supporting and enhancing it well into the future.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The goal date for full release is December 2025. But I want to make sure all planned features are there and working well before considering it complete.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“During the Early Access phase, I plan to add the remaining features detailed on the store page, address any bugs that come to light, and balance some of the games features. The major features not yet included in Early Access is the golf Tournament, and Caddy job. There are also more NPCs, Vehicles, and Jobs that will be added during this stage of the games development. You can also look at the feature list on the store page for this information.

After the full release, I will remain dedicated to maintaining the core game. Additionally, I have several features that, while beyond the original scope, I am eager to implement through regular updates, continually enriching the game experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game is quite playable in its current state. The life sim part is very complete. You can play a full round of golf end to end. Drive around and explore the entire world. Interact with some people. Buy food, golf items. Do different jobs. Etc. ~70% of the features are in the game. There will surely be some gamebreaking or frustrating unexpected gameplay. Check out the description page for more details.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will be lower when it's in Early Access. Whenever it moves out of the Early Access space, expect the price to be 10-50% higher. The goal is to provide a completely unique golf game experience for a smaller cost.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“I am very happy and eager to take feedback and suggestions and especially any bug reports. Please consider joining the discord to report any issues. I will actively monitoring that.

Much of the gameplay and roadmap are defined, but I will always consider ideas that are in line with the end vision.”

About This Game

An Other Golf Game is not your typical openish world sandbox life-sim survival golf game experience featuring permadeath. You'll learn the art of golf on your own terms: picking clubs, assessing the wind, and, of course, tracking down that stray ball no matter where it lands. It’s a game for those who want to discover, adapt, and make every inch of progress on their own.

Beyond the golf course, life goes on—literally. You're living out entire days, where golfing may or may not be part of it, it's entirely up to you. You’ll have to keep yourself alive, managing food, water, and sleep while earning enough cash through odd jobs to keep your golfing dream alive.

It’s a game that tests patience, resourcefulness, and adaptability. If you’re willing to roll with the quirks, laugh off the Early Access growing pains, you might just discover an experience that’s both unexpectedly rewarding and thoroughly unconventional.

Welcome to An Other Golf Game. Good luck out there, and happy golfing… if you can survive long enough to get to it!

♥ Transparency Section

This is my first game. I am making it by myself. Everything needs polishing. I promise you will die relentlessly to bad physics and weird bugs, lose multiple clubs in the ground and even have your car door kill you. You may never even find the golf course, I am sure many of you will quit before you spend the time to find it. This is as much a puzzle, as it is a life sim, as it is a golf game.

WARNING: RIGHT HAND PERSPECTIVE ONLY. The player is actually left handed, and they learned to golf right handed. That said, if you're left handed, sorry. But, actually, technically you will be getting the full experience, so, I guess it is a... you're welcome.

I am excited to continue the work on this project to make the entire experience more refined and of course add the missing features some of which are detailed above. Thanks for your patience. I also expect early access to quickly shine light on any potential bugs that have gone unnoticed in the playtests, please consider joining the discord to report any issues you experience. I will try to address things in a timely manner. <3

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The game, though primarily a golf experience, includes elements of cartoonish death and violence. Additionally, the game features mature colorful language.
