For Andrew Kurano, programmer, artist, and reluctant sound designer, it became the perfect excuse to push 8th Wall Studio to its limits. What started as a simple golf game quickly evolved into a playground for custom shaders, dynamic grass, and global wind systems that bring every hole to life.

In just a few weeks, developers, creators, and students took the pre-built Putt Putt Paradise project and turned it into a collection of wildly original courses. We saw retro arcade throwbacks, windy landscapes, laser-tag arenas, zombie survival maps, and even magical puzzle quests. The variety of submissions was nothing short of a hole-in-one. This jam shook things up. Instead of starting with a blank canvas, participants got a fully built level with prefabs, physics, and controls so they could jump straight into customizing, experimenting, and adding their own twist. With Asset Lab helping generate custom models and props, creators really raised the par, surprising us with inventive mechanics and seriously polished designs. To celebrate that creativity, our judging panel, including guest judges David Wyatt, Chao Jin, Garret the Gamer, and our own Rigel Benton, reviewed every submission. For the first time, the community also had a seat at the table by delivering the Community Voted Prize. The results are a set of winners that showcase the very best of what our devs can do.
