The Golf Club 2019 won’t release until later this year, but that isn’t stopping developer HB Studios from showcasing more of the game as we get closer to it. In a newly released edition of their Dev Talk series, the studio highlights the game and its extensive character customization choices. In the video, fans will not only get to see a funny intro from the team, but also some fresh gameplay that shows off how players will be able to change everything on their character from their facial features, height, weight, and clothes.
You can check out the full Dev Talk video below:
According to Josh Hickey-Patriquin – the Senior Technical Animator for The Golf Club 2019 – the team at HB Studios reworked a ton of modeling and shading, specifically for the hair in the game. Thanks to a new software installation, players will find that their characters in the game not only have better animations, but feel less stiff and move better.
