I'll be doing that at the halfway point (9 holes). I had to completely redo the graphics since we had 5 people this time, and my old layout (4 people) didn't really work. I decided to just display the current hole instead of a set of holes, like in previous mini golf videos.
is it just me or has your patreon supporter list grown? it's nice to see how many people are helping you out, and I wish I had the ability to help too!
So when you guys play mini-golf and get a water hazard, you have to go back to the last place you hit it? Seems kind of harsh. I thought a water hazard let you at least hit the ball from the edge of the hazard.
God I was so nervous when Mal was fishing her ball out of the pond. She did not look like she had very good footing, and the fact that it wasn't edited out made me think she was gonna slip in.
Stephen I was wondering something. How much does it cost for one person at a mini-golf like this? If I compare yours to our mini-golf places, I imagine something around like 20$ per person. I wish we would have mini-golfs like this in Quebec !
Myrtle Beach has 100+ miniature golf places, more than anywhere else in the world. An average price is somewhere between $9-$13 a person. Most courses offer "all day" passes for something like $20-$25, if you're _really_ into mini golf. A few even offer season passes, so you can play whenever you'd like.
Stephen, I know you have a lot more Patrons than Mal does on Mal Makes but maybe next time there's something like this you could copy her style along the bottom so we can see what's going on? I couldn't see who was golfing first with the Patrons
Yeah, I'm definitely aware that was a problem. The solution is actually much simpler than that, and one that I'm normally good about on LPs but tend to forget in these real life Mini Golf videos-extend the beginning. Normally I purposefully pad out the intro episode of let's plays to give the Patreon credits time to roll, so they don't interfere with the game. It's something that slipped my mind this time around, and I was left with a giant black rectangle :S I even tried shifting it to the left, but then it was just obscuring the hole. I would've copied Mal's style but the names need more time onscreen (horizontal scrolling can create this really bad tearing effect if it's not slow enough), and would've been up for the entirety of Hole 1. I'm not sure if there was a best solution here (other than remembering to pad things out next time), but I hope that at least explains my reasoning for a few things!
@StephenPlays I know you said horizontal scrolling can create a tearing effect, but maybe scrolling across the top?? It might not obscure the video as much then. Other than that, I'm not sure what else you can do right now. Other than padding out the intro, of course.
That could also make them take longer too. Since we write from left to right and the names scroll horizontally it would potentially take forever to get through them all. Plus there's a spacing issue on how far apart to separate usernames to tell some apart. Horizontal scrolling sounds better in theory, but in practice it would most likely make things even worse.

I love these mini golf videos.
I don't know why, but I adore the mini golf let's plays.
Stephen, next time when you do mini-gold could you display the current scores at the end of each episode? I think it's that's be good :D
Didn't he do that last mini-golf?
I'll be doing that at the halfway point (9 holes). I had to completely redo the graphics since we had 5 people this time, and my old layout (4 people) didn't really work. I decided to just display the current hole instead of a set of holes, like in previous mini golf videos.
Has anyone else done minigolf videos on YT, I really love these videos for some reason
This is chefftastic
Hell yeah, more mini golf
I was wondering what would replace DKC:TF, wasn't expecting this but I will gladly take it 😁
This will be a short (4 episode) series, then we're on to Season Two of The Walking Dead!
Oh dear, the horrors return so soon? Oh dear oh dear
+StephenPlays Do you think you can beep out the f words and GD and the s word or would that be a little to much work. I understand if you say no
Looks like a neat course! We'll have to check that one out soon. 😊⛳
God Stephen too much of what you make is entertaining, I originally just watched LPs, then the DnD now this, soon you'll have me watching the Vlogs!
imagine Thomas with a monk haircut and you'll see my college science lecturer
I really like the new graphic you have their Stephen
2:35 P.o.t.g. right there.
Good start Thomas!!
As a sophomore in high school who plays golf around my state and wins medals this video made me laugh and smile a lot thank you.
May I ask, exactly what attacked Thomas's legs?
Professor Hacker seems like a popular guy. Used to go to Lost Treasure Golf & Raceway near Emerald Isle.
Wow I'm on my way to myrtle beach right now to camp xD
My friend and I love these, he's got five on mal I got five on Thomas
is it just me or has your patreon supporter list grown? it's nice to see how many people are helping you out, and I wish I had the ability to help too!
Thomas is really good at getting points
Thomas is like Waluigi from Toadstool Tour.
what was the song around 1:48?
Chazz and Jeff picked balls that matched their shirts, which helped alot
it's Chaz and Jeff! the best vlog characters (that don't live in LA)
Characters?
You might be new here.... It's almost customary on the vlog to refer to Stephen's friends as "characters"Alex Larsen
Quinn Grey
I'm not new on StephenPlays, but I've only watched very little of StephenVlog, so I didn't know that. Thanks
Bets on Stephen.
Why is this so interesting?!
I always wish these were longer LOL
Love mini golf LPs
Poor Thomas D: Redemption awaits!
i vote mal
Go Stephen
What did Chaz say when Stephen said rib cage?
Ya with so many Patreons you may have to find a new way with display them either before play or at the bottom
Rib cage....
Wow its been awhile sense this episode aired on stevenvlog
I'm surprised Stephen didn't try to take that _rib-cage_.
I love how this is a mini-golf video, but all the ads showing up are just about dinosaur toys.
So when you guys play mini-golf and get a water hazard, you have to go back to the last place you hit it? Seems kind of harsh. I thought a water hazard let you at least hit the ball from the edge of the hazard.
It's a five way versus! I'm backing Thomas!
I hope you said that before watching the video.
Yes. But now I've backed Thomas, I'm backing him all the way. You can see he was just starting his comeback on holes 3 and 4.
what song is that
go Thomas!! my moneys on Thomas winning!!!!
ok well when I said money I meant like 30 cents. your still great Thomas!!!
My bet is Jeff.
Does jeff/chaz have channels? If so, can you link them to me??
I wonder if Stephen reads the comments when he just posts the video
He does sometimes even replies to them.
Stephen, can you make more mini golf videos please?
Poor Thomas...
......rib cage
I was screaming for that
I was not disappointed
He he rib cage
Why did Thomas get 6 on the first hole?
God I was so nervous when Mal was fishing her ball out of the pond. She did not look like she had very good footing, and the fact that it wasn't edited out made me think she was gonna slip in.
something is wrong when ONE person has three or more 6s.
does stephen even own shoes other than flip flops
Sadly, yes. There will soon come a time when it's much too frigid to wear flip-flops. The magical temperature of... 59º.

So who's on for team Thomas!
If only if he had a hard hat. Where does the game end and reality begin
I can't decide who I want to win. Team..........
Chugga.
"our balls are touching!"

Yeah. That's kinda why I was hesitant to suggest it, cause I know it would take too long.
RIBCAGE
Thomas is a way better DM than he is a golfer.
I'M STILL ROOTIN FOR HIM THOUGH
Don't worry Thomas I'm not that good at mini golf
I'm going to say that Chaz will be the winner.
this reminds me of gta online, whens that coming back stephen.
Mmh.....ribcage.
I was rooting for Mal...
Your the pink ball???????
I know Jeff s going to win, but I'm still routing for Mal. Because Mal is awesome.
Stephen can you say hi btw one v one me in smash you SCARED BRUH
Golf is the game with the "whoever gets the least points wins" rule right? I'm bad with sports. 😊
MacAttack17 yes that is how it works I didn't get it at first ether
mal
