The moon shone bright on this winter’s eve, when all through the house not a single sound could be heard, save for the gentle clinking of clubs and balls as the mini golf enthusiasts remained absorbed in their evening’s play.
As Mighty Coconut’s innovative place-making at Walkabout Mini Golf comes alive, golfers are transformed into miniature figures under the majestic Christmas Tree in the whimsical Vacation Hideaway setting. Miniature golf takes place within the cozy confines of a rustic cabin on the eve of Christmas, offering a challenging “reversed” mode that inverts the usual evening course, instead setting the scene for a festive Christmas morning atmosphere.
As of its thirtieth offering, Walkabout’s premium content is now available as a paid add-on across all platforms, building on the nostalgic gaming experience introduced with the launch of 8-Bit Lair in October. Mighty Coconut’s artistic team typically dedicates around 12 months to develop their projects, simultaneously working on approximately eight programs at varying stages throughout that timeframe. Given the studio’s consistent launch cadence, fans of Walkabout have grown accustomed to discovering around two fresh shows each season at a price point of approximately $8.
Mighty Coconut’s Lucas Martell and Don Carson provided UploadVR with an in-depth design tour, offering a glimpse into the company’s ongoing transformation. Here is the rewritten text:
A nearly half-hour guided tour accompanies the developers as they embark on a journey through the first level, incorporating elements inspired by the classic board game Walkabout Mini Golf, and culminates at the enigmatic hole 18, expertly concealed amidst the festive holiday decorations.
