Controller Support, QoL, Readability Update [#1]

Starting from now you can play the game in any of the following configurations:

  • Mouse only (as recommended)
  • Keyboard only
  • Controller only
  • Any combination of 1 mouse, 1 keyboard and 16 controllers

All menus can be navigated with any combination of these now. The game will automatically pause if you disconnect or connect controllers. The switching between devices is implemented to not require any settings adjustments and happens automatically.

The SteamInput API has very simple controls for controllers:

  • DPad movement and menu navigation
  • Left analog stick movement and menu navigation
  • 3 buttons (Cross|A/Circle|B/Options|Start) dash/back/pause ingame and select/back/unpause in menu

Additional changes:

  • Text VFX scaling fixed to be readable in small windows
  • Improved readability of button and card states
  • Adjusted several superpower descriptions (related to "weaken" being unclear)
  • Expanded the info menu with clearer descriptions and also tips
  • Added early game maximum level ramp (3, 6, 9, 10, 10, 10... instead of always 10, 10, 10...) to enable early accessible mutations
  • Fixed achievements not showing up without game restart
  • Preparations for Steam Deck support
