But where is the Demo version ?
Many of you asking me via Email where to download the Demo version of Metagolf to give it a try.

First of, thanks a lot for your interest in Metagolf, your feedback is always greatly appreciated !
Since I’m working alone on this spare-time project with no real budget, each times I read comments on Metagolf make my day .

Metagolf is a work in progress.
The gameplay, graphics and sounds ressources are subjects to change while approaching a final release (and beyond).
Because of that, demo and preview versions are only available in private for beta-testing purposes.

I hope to release a public demo before the end of the first quarter of 2012.

Stay tuned

Things are coming along nicely

To celebrate the new Metagolf Beta 2.9 version, I screencast two new videos to feature this progress.
The videos are available at the Media Page.

So, What’s new in this version ?

• Water Caustic Effect performance improved by 300% !
• Several visual speed improvements.
• Destructible object.
• Point of view object.
• Light and atmosphere effects.
• Reduce the memory footprint.
• Weird netbook resolution support (like 1024x600).
• Many built-in level editor improvements.
• 10 new sound effects.
• 4 new levels.
• 3 new soundtracks.
• A few bugs fix.

The “Meta engine” is faster than ever !
Supported Windows and MacOs X (Lion) version are stable.
While a Linux version is available and run correctly, this platform is not actively supported.

Many efforts has been made in order to support old configurations as well as slow system (netbook, laptop, etc.).

You finally can play golf at night, like those Australian folks at Coober Pedy
