Hey there,
I have been quiet for a bit / have been working on finishing up the game (the release is only a few months away 🙌🙌).
In the meantime I thought I push an update from the current devversion into the demo - nothing really big here but just a lot of polishing and bugfixes (A lot to the multiplayer).
Thanks to all the players who have provided feedback via the google form or discord! I tried to fix everything that was mentioned there in this version. Please let me know if you have more issues / suggestions / etc..
I will soon tell you about some more upcoming things, stay tuned!
Until then, here is the patchnotes:
Gameplay:
- added steam input system -> now you can play with playstation controller (to show the right symbols you still need to change that within the settings of the game - to play with switch controller you have to enable that in the steam controller settings and also disable the automatic button swap for a better experience - I'll try to make this a better experience in the release but for now it works with this small workaround)
