San Jose-based online game publisher, Gamescampus.com (www.gamescampus.com, run by OnNet USA), announced today that it will launch Shot-Online Season 2, the sequel to the popular Shot-Online MMO golf simulation game (http://shotonline.gamescampus.com/) this August.
Shot-Online Season 2 includes many significant enhancements over the
original Shot-Online release. Highlights of the new Season 2 game
features include:
Meet the newest golfer on the course: Camilla is a 26-year-old
Brazilian who tees off for the first time in Season 2.
New course, ‘Pearl Green Island’, looks like a resort island in the
tropics and has a difficulty level between that of the Cadeiger and
Rufus Arena.
The addition of a four-player ‘Las Vegas Game Mode’ has been included
where the highest and lowest level team members are paired together
then changed up after every team match according to their score on the
previous hole. The winning team also receives an additional 50% EXP on
each hole and the losing team receives 50% less EXP.
A new ‘Worldwide Arena’ where all Shot-Online players will now be
able to record their scores of the World Championship and check their
ranking for the tournament has now been included. The ‘World Ranking’
records all of the scores from the World Championship and uses a
realistic method of calculating scores that was actually adopted from
the PGA tournament methodology. The world rankings for the World
Championship will be determined according to all World Championship
scores recorded in the Arena for the past one year.
The new ‘My Course Ranking’ will allow players to check their ranking
among all the players around the world. The average score of each
course is calculated and the ranking is determined accordingly. Course
records will also be updated every 6 months.
An updated Messenger will help players manage the friend list, guild
member list and graduate fellows list all in one form. A new note
system will be added and players will also be able to set their status
(online, busy, etc.). In addition, the friend registration process has
been changed, now requiring both sides to register. The limitation of
the friends list has also been set to a maximum of 200.
New upgrades have been made to sound quality and added sound effects,
including high quality BGM’s for the new course.
A new Guild feature with a take-in/take-out Guild Locker function has
been added (Master/Assistant, Master/Regular, Member/Semi-Member).
There will be a guild locker usage log in the game and Assistant Guild
Masters are increased according to the guild level. Benefits for
Master/Assistant Master include additional guild points and guild room
coupons.
An enhanced Chat Window enabling users to choose and set up regular
chats, guild chats, private messages and tips has been added. The
existing chat messages will also remain when moving to the Square,
Auction House and Game List.
Higher graphic quality and lighting effects will be included,
providing more realistic and stereoscope expressions for the
characters. The new multi texture will provide more realistic visuals
on all courses and more delicate and transparent expressions for the
characters. Enhanced face motion and animation are also included.
New Quest features with an NPC will provide quests in which players
need to complete a certain condition in order to gain a particular
item, EXP, NG or other special items. The Quests for lower level users
will help to educate the beginners on how to play Shot-Online and
newly added Quests for mid and high level users will provide new goals
to players who just aim to level up.
A new Caddy System will provide help and record player scores, with
additional functions following soon.
An enhanced user loading on the square will improve the loading time
when players enter the square, allowing for no delays.
The new In-Game Item Mall will allow players to use the Item Mall in
the game. A “Send as Gift” function has also been added, allowing
players to preview what a certain Item Mall item will look like on a
character prior to purchase. Purchasing Campus Cash will still be
available through the website only.
Season 2 is set to launch in August. To get updated information on the
