Hi everyone! Today I'm launching the 1.1.0 update for The Wolf's Den and with it comes native SteamOS/Gamepad support! This fixes some control gaps I know some folks were having trying to play the game on Steam Deck through Proton. Gamepad support also works on PC and you can seamlessly switch between control schemes as you wish!
Complete Changelog
Native SteamOS (Steam Deck/Steam Machine) support.
Plug-and-play gamepad support.
Redesigned main menu UI to play nicer with gamepads (and it just looks better this way). Added new settings and level select screens.
Revamped inventory UI from the ground up.
Rescaled settings/defaults. New defaults should be a lot saner on most systems.
Added proper button glyphs for tutorial text and item hotkey hints.
Fixed bug where look sensitivity was tied to framerate.
Reduced total game size on disk by 40% (500MB -> 300MB).
Crouch has been remapped from Ctrl to C, with a new setting to switch between hold and toggle.
Updated some sound effects for opening/closing the pause menu.
Added a much-needed checkpoint before a certain part of the game that everyone knows about.
Tweaked some enemy speed, pathfinding, and turn speed parameters to make them appear less janky when accelerating/getting caught on objects.
Fixed awkward initial drop that occurred when loading into a level.
Fixed a handful of embarrassing typos that I had not noticed for 5 years.
Fixed enemy AI sprinting past the player after the player gets caught.
Improved UI scaling beyond 1080p resolution. I'm aware of some scaling issues on ultrawides. I haven't fully addressed these yet.
Fixed enemy AI not finishing the chase sequence if the player escaped too quickly.
Added backup-save recovery on the off chance that a save file gets corrupted.
A handful of other bug and quality-of-life fixes I didn't write down.
