| June 18th, 2004: Course Creation Tutorial - coil |
|
| We've posted a simple tutorial to assist aspiring course designers in creating courses for Duffers Golf. We're asking the community to use their creativity to construct unique, fun, and stunning courses for both the traditional and upcoming mini-golf modes of Duffers Golf. The most creative, well tested, and fun courses submitted to us by August 13th will be included in the Phase 4 release.

| June 9th, 2004: Internet Browser Issue - coil |
|
| The latest version shipped with a small problem that prevents Duffers servers from showing up in the server browser. To remedy this, find the DuffersUser.ini file in the /Duffers/System folder. Find the '[DuffersGUI.DGMultiplayerBrowserBase]' section and set 'bStandardServersOnly' to false. Start Duffers and servers will now be visible in the Internet server browser. |
| June 8th, 2004: If you're having trouble... - coil |
|
| If you're previously installed the Duffers Single Player Beta and are having problems with the new version, please locate and delete the Duffers.ini and DuffersUser.ini files and restart. |

An official Coil server will be launched soon. |
| June 6th, 2004: Multiplayer Beta Delayed (But Not By Much!) - coil |
|
| We've run into some snags, and we've obviously missed the promised release date of the 5th. We will release today, however. Check this website for updates. |
| May 11th, 2004: Duffers Golf Single Player Beta - coil |
|
| The Single Player Beta has arrived! Check out the media page for new screenshots of the mod in action. This beta features an All New Custom Physics System, built from the ground up. As with any beta, there are some bugs, and the purpose of this release is to gather feedback from the community. You can help out in two ways: Post feedback on our forums or use our Bug Tracking System. |
| May 7th, 2004: Duffers Golf Single Player To Be Released May 11th - coil |
|
| Duffers Golf will finally be unleashed on the public Tuesday, May 11th. It will be a single-player only release, with one 9-hole course. This beta release will allow us to collect feedback from the community, and help us gear up for the Make Something Unreal Contest Phase 3. Check back here on May 11th for download locations. |
| April 8th, 2004: Closed Beta in Progress, Public Release To Follow - coil |
|
| The Closed Beta has been released to the team, and we're slaving away and tracking down bugs in preparation for the public release. We do not have a date yet, but rest assured that it will be as soon as humanly possible. If you're interested in joining the Closed Beta team, send us a mail and tell us why you would be a good candidate. You must own a copy of UT2003. |
| March 22nd, 2004: Progress Continues, Closed Beta Soon - coil |
|
| We're making progress on the game, and we're getting down to the myriad of small issues that you run into in a large project. We're planning to release a closed beta to a select few in short order, and take the feedback and bug reports and release our first public version sometime next month. Look for new screenshots in the next few weeks, as we move closer to release. |
| February 17th, 2004: Coilgames.com now online - coil |
|
| Our domain used to be coil-inc.com, but due to some technical difficulties, we have changed it to coilgames.com. Please use the contact page if you would like to send us a message. |
| February 12th, 2004: Somebody say screenshots? - coil |
|
| The long-awaited new screenshots are up in the media section. These show the transistion we've made from terrain-based holes to using meshes. I think you'll agree that the difference is striking.
Development continues to push ahead, and we can actually play some golf now. We have some camera issues to deal with, but we're on track to have a closed beta sometime next month. This will be a by-invitation-only affair, and will only preceed the public release by a few weeks (hopefully), so please do not mail us asking for inclusion. |
| January 26th, 2004: Time Flies - coil |
|
| I know I promised screenshots of the new course, but it's taken longer than I had hoped. Progress is happening, and soon I'll be compiling a list for a closed beta, which will preceed our first release. Stay tuned.
On a personal note, I've started a game-related blog, where I talk shop from time to time. Check it out. |
| December 11th, 2003: Project Update - coil |
|
| It's been a while since we've given any status update on Duffers. We are toiling away and making progress. We have ditched the old way of making holes, and have switched to creating them entirely out of one mesh. This gives us several advantages, most notably they look much nicer, with seamless transistions from rough to fairway, and rough to bunker. We will be posting screenshots of the new course in the coming weeks.
Also we'd like to mention the addition of a new team member, Kevin Emigh. Kevin is an accomplished programmer and avid game player who will be contributing a major part of the Duffers codebase. |

We're looking for a few people to help us make Duffers Golf not only a top UT2003 modification, but also the top multiplayer golf experience. Right now we're looking to fill the following positions:
