| Wrong tags and information about Golel. | 2026-10-23 | Hello everyone,I would like to give a quick update/notice about Golel.Today I have noticed that LGBTQ+ tag was applied to Golel, apparently by me.Also Artificial Intelligence for Atmosphere.I am not sure if I accidently applied those tags myself, but these are incorrect tags.There is no reference to LGBTQ+ subjects in Golel.Golel does use AI, but it's not part of the atmopshere.I am not sure how long those tags were there.I would just like to tell you that there might be some wrong information on the store page, and I might miss it. If you see something weird in the store page, please let me know.What is Golel?Let me use this opportunity to e |

| Core improvements to Golel. Demo 2.4.11 | 2026-09-11 | Hello everyone,How is your day?Game wide featuresI have implemented a few important features to Golel.First, you can now control the resolution of full screen mode.I didn't realize that every time you go to full screen resolution, the game selects that native resolution of your screen.If you want to play on lower resolution because of GPU limitations or because you are streaming, this did not allow you to do it.Now you can select the resolution you want the full screen mode to be at.You know have some control on FOV.
