No updates to report. As with all homebrew projects, progress is entirely dependent on the available free time of the programmer.

 

I'm sure Chris will pick up this project again, but "when" is subject to whenever real life permits it. Best thing to do is keep an eye on this thread, and when there's something to announce, it will be announced here.

Here is a screenshot of the game - note the 4 color Playfield and awesome sprites by Nathan.

With these 4 color backgrounds, I bet a decent vertical golf game could be made. 
Dark Green - Rough

Light Green - Fairway

White - Sand Trap

Blue - Water

 

NOTE: didn’t notice that you may need a 4th color to differentiate the green, that could appear adjacent to any of the above colors/types.

 

Tree obstacles would be limited to 2 sets of double/triple sprites. 


Think the right hand side of the NES Open Golf image below, with only a power gauge below the course.

Maybe a 3-click golf game is a pipe-dream on the VCS.

Wow, that would be an incredible use of the Zeviouz playfield scrolling technology! The vertical course could be taller than the screen and could let you preview it by moving the joystick up and down before selecting your club etc... After you hit the ball it could scroll vertically as the ball travels up the course with the ball sprite getting bigger and smaller as it goes higher and then lower in the air.

The controls and graphics in 2019's Pro Golf is really good with its horizontal course perspective but I think that there's no reason that a vertical game like you've described couldn't be done if someone has the will to do it. Great idea!

I see your point, but that's the Famicom Disk System Golf Japan Course, a game that came out in between the original Golf and NES Open but stayed in Japan.
