Dang it did better than me, a ragdoll with the intelligence of a human

I think $950 is a reasonable ask for a AAA ragdoll AI game.

I'm amazed that the AI managed to spontaneously get paralyzed, _three times in a row._

You have successfully recreated the uncontrollable chaos of motion control Wii Sports golf, without using motion controls.

Coming from the live chat is the following message: RELEASE IT ON STEAM

I like how you've adapted this into a legit golfing game experience, with the camera work and everything.

The hit at 6:50 is insane

I swear if they added one land mine to the golf course a year I'd watch every game

A Bank shot off a polygonal tree, its my favorite golf shot that humans make while playing golf, am I right fellow humans that play golf!

I super appreciate how well this is all designed. "Programmer art" is usually the barest of bare minimum, purely functional, and generally looks shitty. This is the total opposite. There's all these small details that make it look so polished. -Subtle drop shadows under text. -The "Stroke #" being offset vertically from the oval under it. -The scorecard having the opacity dropped for the "Hole #" row, which separates it from the opaque row below it. - The "Hole #/Par #" in the top left has a light gradient towards the middle of the screen - All the horizontal white separating lines, being squared off on the left, rounded on the right, with a dot off the rounded edge. -Droplet particle effect, and ripple when the ball entered the water -The club heads have lines on the faces, and there's no reason the back of the putter had to be modeled that well. -Hell, the WHOLE ASS course environment itself is awesome. The craziest thing to me is that the entire aesthetic meshes together, nothing is outta place and it's all coherent design. To have that be for the demonstration of some procedural animation is bonkers. Good shit dude.

Reminds me of a puzzle from the professor layton games. "A professional golfer can put the same distance every time provided that distance is 11 inches, 4 inches, or 2 inches". And now we've met his brother, who can reliably put at a 45 degree angle every time.

B2 is spoiling us, too many uploads in a short amount of time, he needs to wait until we start yelling at him for an upload

Hole 1: Pretty good. Hole 2: He has no style. He has no grace. This Kong has a funny face. Hole 3: That's rough, buddy. Hole 4: So close, yet so far away. Twice. Hole 5: Is... is the AI okay? It seems to be having a stroke.

While your videos are always technically brilliant, you have also brought great artistry on this one. This genuinely looks like a polished production ready game.

9:22 i think he took "Stroke" too literally

the fact that it says "stroke" after every shot is just funny as the ai has a stroke every shot

Every Stroke was litterally a stroke for the poor fella😢

I love that one of the “popular user-defined tags” is “pornography”

My grandma plays golf the same way

Engaging for engagement to play the analysis game because when I tell you I’ve been ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THIS UPDATE!! 🎉

Time to see who is better: me or ragdoll edit: also i love the wii style spin on this

that's a bathtub splash if I've ever heard one

7:20 Based on very rough pixel measurements, my guy is nearly 20 feet tall!

If you actually release this as a game, I’m going to convince all my friends to buy it!

im convinced "stroke" doesnt refer to the actual golf stroke, but rather the ai's uh.... lets call it "technique"

This thing is gonna be the first golf player to tear an ACL

I laughed so hard reading "Stroke 3" to mean that the ragdoll had collapsed due to having a stroke 3 times so far. 🤣

MCSTEEVINGTON FISH SPOTTED!!!!! Also pretty sweet that it only got +11, was expecting way higher

I love that this has essentially become a relatively simple golfing game with an AI for RNG. Clearly more games need AIs like this. Just imagine an Xcom like game where you and the AI try to order around AI soldiers and these AI soldiers first have to learn how to walk and aim a gun.

6:50 this is the greatest golf shot i have ever seen

Its like watching my son growing up, you are rooting for him and wanting him to succeed😂 come on lil man

This AI is going to be the next Tiger Woods

3:35 was hilarious, accidentally hit the ball twice on am easy put then you immediately get a longer put to finish off instead

this was the most utterly happy and peaceful video I've ever seen, it genuinely made me feel happier and less stressed out

Once in a lifetime upload

My fish makes a cameo in both videos :)

Im gonna find the secret raw chicken ball to put in the salad

I like how the golf ball going into the water sounds like a massive poop hitting toilet water

As an avid Walkabout Minigolf player, I felt the putt at 7:37 in my very soul.

love your content, I definitely enjoy your commentary a lot. it seemed like more of a footage based video, great content. when it ended though, I was wondering if you were going to coment on the ai's skill, or perharps its interesting putting technique of hitting a ghost ball and pulling the follow through to barely tap real ball. really good stuff, i just miss your commentary :)

This wasn't just a video, it was an adventure with an absolute rollercoaster of emotions.

"Rage quit 1" really caught me of guard LOL, I agree with you b2studios, really a rage quit moment!

That was an adrenaline rush!

Oh, I get it, he has a stroke every time he swings the club :D

$950? Still cheaper than all of Sims 4's DLCs together

I absolutely love how you make it like Wii Sports everytime

This is gonna be fun. Edit: you should release this as AI sports, with bowling and, uh, what was the other sport you did

it's so weird to see 3d golf courses again after playing 4d golf lol

This is so soothing!!! Love the sounds and tunes lol.

man the music in this video reminds me so much of Viva Pinata Garden Simulator for the xbox 360/DS and its beautiful

I love the shot after each hole showing the ragdoll lying down, basking in its glory

I would be delighted to play this on steam. As others have pointed out, the aesthetic is quite pleasing. You've done a great job with not just the golf course but the graphics as well.

Nice vid I've been waiting excitedly forever

GG LOVE THE HARD WORK U PUT INTO THESES VIDEOS :D GOOD JOB

I would definitely play this if it was an actual game, seems like a fun way to spend an hour or two and the speedruns could go crazy

For a minute there i thought this was just footage of my last round of golf

that was amazing. very funny and relaxing

never thought i would see something worse at putting than me

Absolutely gripping, the most I've ever enjoyed golf both in reality and vicariously

can't wait for the speedrunner to speedrun this game

This was just soooo Wii Sports, I couldn't help but laugh! 🤣

Using the tree to deflect it on the green and the rock to deflect it on the fairway and straight through the rock shortcut are big brain moves

Great video as always B2! If this ends up as a game I think having an option to change the color of the character would add some more customization to the game, but in all, great video! Keep up the good work!

Good lord, what's going on in here. This is the most impressive thing I've seen in a while. Love the maths breakdowns from the other videos. You deserve all the praise you get!

The environments you build really add so much life to these videos

I think the rage drive off the green was definitely my favorite. Bro is so real.

I am vicariously learning how golf functions. Great video

I love this series of you training AI to do different sports. I wonder which is next? Boxing maybe?

I could see people raging with friends in this game. Seems super streamable

to make the shot through the rock hole and have the putt miss the hole twice at point blank range on the same hole is.... impressive work.

Made me think of Wii sports golf the sound effects. The water bro. Everything. Brought back memories

This AI has a better theoretical handicap than many people I have played with.

I can't stand watching sport on TV, but this had me enthralled... ❤LOVE IT! ❤

AI had a right to drive it off the green on 4, that was a clear gimme for bogey!

Unlike proper golf games like pga, this really recreates the experience of going to the course yourself… and then shanking the ball 6 times in a row. Fantastic work!

"432 trees"

These things are getting better and better every video

Great work!

happy bday b2!

Definitely should’ve researched a bit about OB and water for golf. If you go in the water, you should place the ball in the fairway on line with where it exited the grass as close to where it entered as possible, only re-tee as a last resort

Aw yes, the double stroke technic at 3:38, will surely improve me golfing nights

That shot through the mountain on hole 4 was actually sick! That was such a cool gamer moment for the AI.

So, I wanted to give a minor analysis of the AI as someone with some experience with Golf (albeit only virtually). I don't want to rag on the fact that you can only set power with the wedge and putter but it's fairly plain that a lot of times, you need to swing below the proper range of the club in order to hit your intended target. In real golf, you can easily club up or down to make it always a power swing, but in this simplified setting a power bar probably would've helped. With the way the ragdoll chips and putts, I can understand not wanting the extra training burden for even less payoff. I can understand how frustrating that shot at 7:04 lipping out must feel, but this is where I have to give massive kudos. That was an A-grade shot since you're still within tap-in distance of the hole, it only really feels so bad because you were already shooting over par and getting that chip in would've saved it. Long putts and close approaches that attack the pin are considered successful if you can get within 6 ft of the hole, amazing within 3 ft, and of course perfect if it goes in.

I think you should add a split camera that films the player and the ball after the swing

This is awesome and hilarious! What a janky mess 😂

This was great

peak cinema.

i would KILL for a good golf game like this on steam, get this man a kickstarter immediatley

The AI: “I’ve trained my whole life for this moment”

I've been looking forward to this video all Sunday. Been chuckling and smiling at how far this stupid idea has come. Game would easily be worth $69

Please release that as a game that would be amazing

The way he hits the ball really fast and then falls is really funny

I'm on to you. The worse you make the AI, the better the content! ;]

The ball hitting the water sounds like someone dropping an item in the toilet in their home lmao

a marvelous spectacle

The sounds of the ball falling into water are truly amazing, what did you use to create them?

If the game is released, I'll excitedly await the speedruns.

I would genuinely buy and play this as a game for $20 in its current state. If it had more holes or a custom hole maker, I’d pay $40.

ON MY BIRTHDAY ALSO !!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY B2STUDIOS!!😌

7:33 the Driver, Iron, and Wedge Ai are catching the Putting Ai in the parking lot
