PerfectGolf Tees Off Kickstarter Drive

[Steve_OS]

Funding opened last week for the PC/Macintosh Kickstarter project, PerfectGolf. With the game already 12 months into development, the PerfectGolf team is requesting an additional $300,000 in fan funding to secure licences for multiple real-world courses, add an online multiplayer clubhouse system and an in-depth course editor that will allow users to create and share their own dream courses over the Internet.

PerfectGolf has been built with the increasingly popular Unity3D game engine, which has been featured in recent PC games like Endless Space, Battlestar Galactica Online and MechWarrior Tactics. While gameplay footage hasn't debuted yet, a few early teasers are uploaded onto Perfect Parallel's YouTube channel.

Located in Vero Beach, Florida, developer Perfect Parallel is a small team of artists and programmers who have worked on popular franchises like Links, Forza Horizon and Crysis.

Fundraising for PerfectGolf closes February 4, 2013, with a $15 pledge earning a digital download of the finished game, and higher reward tiers offering Kickstarter-exclusive clothes, equipment and courses.

Just pledged my portion. This game appears to have the potential to be an amazing golf game!

As must as I want to donate, this project seems doomed. I like the idea and the graphics are great, but they need to raise $290,000 in a little more than a month. Not sure its going to happen this time around...

Wow this looks promising! There hasn't been a golf game that I've been truly obsessed with since Links, so hopefully this can step in to fill the void. I'm happy to donate to this project.

@Cod It does seems unlikely that they're going to reach their goal on this kickstarter, but it sounds like they're far enough along that we'll be seeing the game in some form next year. I think this kickstarter is mainly to flesh out the multiplayer options as well as secure some course licenses.

I just contributed after seeing the video. Can't wait for a great PC golf game!

I'm on a very limited budget but I pledged $25.

I believe this may be the only PC golf game on the horizon that will include a golf course designer and hopefully, include most of the gameplay features many of us have been seeking.

The good news about contributing to a Kickstarter is that they don't actually charge you unless the product is successfully funded.

So you can pledge now, but if the project doesn't meet its goal you won't be charged a dime.

I'm wondering what kind of setup you will need to push this gorgouse game? I'm gonna donate and hope this project takes off.
