Playtonic Friends, a recent entrant into the Indie publishing world that's already making its mark, has confirmed another title that's all set for a Switch eShop release. A Little Golf Journey, developed by Okidokico, is due on the eShop and Steam 'later this Summer'.
As you can see in the trailer above it's going for a laid-back vibe; Charlie Goatly, Co-Founder at Okidokico, is quoted as saying the following in the press release.
With our previous title, OK Golf, we received so much feedback from players about how relaxing they found the experience but we really thought we could take that side of it further and that’s where the core ideas for A Little Golf Journey came from. We’ve removed all those stressful elements of a traditional round of golf and replaced them with beautiful imagery, a soothing soundtrack and a narrative adventure layer for those who want to seek it out. For us, it was all about creating a game we could truly escape into and get away from the pressures of daily life.
It looks rather nice, and we'll certainly keep an eye on it ahead of its release in the coming months. Are you tempted to hit the course in this one?

I want to be excited, but getting a lot of Zen Studios' golf vibes. And that one also lacked a lot of charm.
Looks nice, but I'm curious how they approach a "narrative adventure" without any traditional characters. I loved Golf Story, I basically bought a Switch to play it, so I'm down for non-traditional golf games. I'm interested, especially since it's radio silence on the Sports Story front.
Yes for once you can play from the perspective of the golf ball instead of the golf player. Will definitely check it out soon.
This is the Yooka-Laylee Playtonic right? Good for them, I enjoyed those games. Not too interested in golf, though
'Playtonic Friends, a recent entrant into the Indie publishing world that's already making its mark, has confirmed another title'...
Care to elaborate on making its mark? I couldn't find out game info on their website.
I've played OK Golf on my Android devices a fair bit, and I've enjoyed it. I like that they seem to have carried over the art style. Looking forward to this!
EDIT: Judging by the trailer, they may be bringing over the courses wholesale. I definitely recognize a few of those. Some others seem completely new, at least.
Oh well. I paid three bucks for the Android game and it started with less than half the courses it has now. I'm willing to pay for an enhanced Switch port if that's what this amounts to.
