Controller Support Now Available!


Hey, it's SnakeF8!

With keyboard support implemented last week, I couldn't just ignore the ability to play with a gamepad. I really want to try and recreate that retro-emulated experience, so I event went out of the way to lock the joystick to 8 directions! It might sound limiting, but I fine-tuned the movement in such a way to make it extremely pleasant. Have a look below because it's actually pretty smooth. 

The controller support uses standard button binds (joystick to move, 'Start' to pause, 'A' to select, etc.). The only binding I think is worth stating is bumpers rotate the camera.

Patch Notes:
  • Added controller support
  • Added a 3-point bilinear filtering shader
  • Tweaked lighting
  • Updated the debug arena to have more detail
  • Bugfix: Fixed loading the game not working properly (time.timescale issue)
  • Bugfix: Fixed bug where you couldn't load the game multiple times after saving
  • Bugfix: Fixed enemy hoverover to work when hovering with keyboard/controller
  • Bugfix: Readded floor change sound (was broken from keyboard support)
  • Additional smaller bugfixes
  • There is a known FIXED bug where a dialogue choice will loop on keyboard/controller when there is no dialogue after it
    • BUT this is temporarily fixed with a "." box when a response is selected.
  • Removed music because I was not satisfied with it
