After several weeks of hard work, the latest beta update 0.8.6 includes controller support for 99% of game functionality. There's wtill a few minor things (such as typing a character's name) which still require a keyboard, but I'll implement them soon.
Our Beta is open, so you can join it anytime and try it for yourself. Since I am not an expert at controller gameplay, any feedback is welcome.
This new Beta includes a few other interesting features and bugfixes. Here is the full changelog:
Features & Improvements
• Added controller support! a few minor game functions may still not be available. If your controller is not autodetected by the game as XBox/PS/Nintendo, you'll have to set its type in the settings>input menu.
• Added support for 3840 x 1080 ultrawide resolution.
• New music track in Irampor Ruins.
Content adjustments & Balance
• Companions joining (or returning to) your party will now have a minimum XP equal to 75% of your less experienced party member, or 50% if the companion has the 'Unwilling Adventurer' negative talent.
• If you have failed other skill checks, you can still obtain certain information from Phadabar's innkeeper by paying him gold. You're not supposed to be locked out of the main quest by failing a check!
• Ethereal creatures are now immune to stun, poison, prone and paralysis effects.
• Lifeless creatures now reduce any stun effect power by 3, instead of by 2.
Bug Fixes
• Fixed a visual glitch that could cause transparent materials such as water to shift as you move the camera (on lower graphic settings)
• Certain chest pop-up in Phadabar's warehouse has been fixed, this time for real!
• There was a minor issue with random numbers generated for brittle weapons, Lesser Remedy spell and Acid Blood (random values were slightly lower than described). Solved.
• No item can be purchased for less than 1 gold, as intended.
