Golf Story footage and coverage is starting to come in!

I only scanned the video because spoilers, but the geese chasing after a sausage roll sounds like it could be British as well. It's one of the two!
Sucked in is Aussie? I had no idea. Thought everyone used it.

Yeah, both shot, mate and sausage roll could be either Aussie or British.

Sucked in could be British but I've never heard anyone say it.
Can't wait for impressions. Looks like we won't be getting them till after release.

Yeah, seems like reviewers got their review keys today.
Played for an hour and got hooked. Love the music, really like the HD rumble that is used to emphasise the dialogue (can be turned off btw). Only played against a few people and won. Im on a mobile connection so I cant upload some off-screen footage unfortunately, maybe Ill post some screenshots later.

Sounds good, hoping for Some screenshots.
Based on the hour you've played, can you say anything lengthwise?
In the story? Online? Also is the co-op there fleshed out at all?

The shot meter SFX are pretty terrible. Game looks kind of neat and charming though.

Good question, does this have online!?
The eshop description said 1-2 players (IIRC). Do you have any idea where the second player might come in?
Yep, any detail about the multiplayer is welcome.
Didn't know this, awesome

Straya cunt.
Can't go wrong with more aussie devs and using our amazing aussie english language to the world.
Between Hollow Knight and Golf Story, Aussie indies are having a good year on Switch.

This looks so cool. I want it!
No idea about the length. I started the story mode and played for an hour or so.
The menu has two options (besides settings): Story Mode and Quick Play. The latter seems to have an option for two players. It looks like a mode for people wanting to just play golf quickly.
Havent seen anything about co-op so far.

The footage I watched seems neat! I actually kind of miss top-down golfing--the last time I played a top-down golf game was Super Golf on the Game Gear, so I'm real into this.
Re: dialogue font. Seems pretty clear to me that they didn't go with a pixel font because they wanted the ability to be more expressive with the dialogue bubbles, changing the size of the text and even tilting bubbles for effect. You could do all that with a pixel font, but as soon as you start changing the size you've already lost the realistic look unless you actually try to keep the pixel size constant when scaling down, which frankly would look like garbage. Better to go with a stylized vector font that remains readable under a wider variety of conditions.

Love the footage. Day one!
A little disappointing, but I was having a hard time imagining how coop would work to begin with, same thing with Stardew. Thanks for the info!
EU here, got mine this morning. Developer probably sent the codes out depending on who contacted him first.
Posting some screenshots. Sorry for the short explanations, Im on the road:
Love the dialogues, the speech bubbles are nicely animated, grow bigger or smaller; and so does the text. And: HD Rumble makes the speech a bit more accentuated.
Once you level up, you can invest points in different abilities.
Many NPCs have challenges you need to complete to get EXP and money.

Sports titles in general really, would really love a good bowling game.

My mindset of "something feels off about this game" is slowly being torn down. It's looking really good! I'll wait to hear more impressions/reviews and more info on the length before committing.

I want this so badly. I've been holding off on Steamworld Dig 2 to not distract from my playing Original Sin 2, but this is going to get purchased the instant its available. I hope I can shoot a golfball into a chimney.

Everything looks even better then I was expecting.
If it's at least 15-20 hours, I'm once I'm done with Steamworld dig 2.

Same. Give me some good impressions and Im on it.
Music is a bit too mellow, feels out of place
Yeah I can imagine that being real grating after a while, was already annoyed in the video.

Oh my god, I don't think sound effects get more satisfying that the golf ball getting chipped-in to the hole. It's going to haunt my dreams until I play the game.
I thought I was the only one. Why even do that?

Because:
I'm not a huge fan of the clash either but now that we know the bubbles animate I understand. It would look like shit if they used sprites for something like that.

It's still a pretty jarring design decision.
