Dream Shot
A downloadable game for Windows
DREAM SHOT (working title) is a golf-like game. Create your own courses and play solo or competitively online.
NOTE: Connecting to other players is done by IP at the moment. No Steam integration yet. This is a very early prototype. Expect bugs!
I am releasing this prototype to gather feedback on its potential as a full game.
Short term development goals:
- create deterministic physics which will help the online experience (no desyncing)
- add powerups and abilities

This looks great! 🍒 I'm two weeks into prototyping a similar game, therefore I'm biased in saying - yes, this has potential!
I tried out your demo. again, great job! Some comments:
1. I think the controls to change to change the direction of your shot could be simplified, e.g. just left<>right to rotate the aiming marker 360°
2. you mentioned your dev goal being deterministic physics. definitely prioritize this objective. I don't know Unreal, but using Godot, I found creating my own 3D physics system was essential for deterministic physics, e.g. parity between the ball's trajectory prediction and the actual shot.
Keep it up! and holler if you want another tester! i'm on discord with same handle
Hey thanks for your comment! I have moved on from the project but during my attempts to get deterministic physics I found some UE plugins for the Bullet3 physics engine which is one way to get deterministic physics into Unreal.
As for the controls, I tried both ways, I just ran out of time to have them both as options. Agree with you there.
