I spent the entire week working on controller support! I'm really excited for you all to try it and let me know what you think. There definitely will be some glitches here and there but I believe the game is 99% playable with the controller. I'll list what I covered below as well as some known glitches you might see.
- A pointer that looks just like the current mouse has been added so you can see what you're selecing
- Apps: Clothing, Tracker, Quests, etc. - Shoulder button switching added for navigation between tabs. Scrolling up and down will follow your pointer.
- Fabricator, Blueprints, PetPak Mixer - Got the same treatment as above.
- Removed the out of place red X button from screens that had it. Added a quit button that shows the controller button you can use to exit back to the previous screen. It's also clickable.
- Game intro and Pet Encounter updated to work with controller.
- Button icons - Support has been added for Xbox (covers Steam Deck and other generic PC controllers), PlayStation, and Nintendo button icons.
- Minigames - Show the "How To Play" screen for each game with the Up D-Pad. Press Start to open settings and go back to HQ. Minigame results screens also updated to work with the pointer.
- Pet Deck - Selecting a card that's not your following pet will now swap it to the following position while using the controller.
- Pet Storage - Selecting a card in your storage will move the pet into your party and vice versa.
Known Controller Glitches
- Sometimes when in a screen/window your pointer will highlight the hot bar. We're working on this fix but it shouldn't affect your ability to play the game.
- Clothing App Camera - Didn't have time work on this one completely. It partially works but definitely needs attention.
- Certain times when opening the clothing app the pointer won't show up until you change tabs.
Other updates besides controller support!
- Dailies! - A bug with saving caused dailies to not appear for most people has been fixed. Everyone should get dailies now.
- Big fishing clean up! I cleaned up a ton of the code in fishing to hopefully clear up the buge we've been having. Please let me know if you continue to experience them! Or if there's new ones...
- Fix for the mystery man fishing quest so the fish he asks for don't change up.
- Removed the extra Trevally from the list of total fish.
- Mouths fixed - Finally figured out the bug that was causing the different mouths to not show up. Enjoy!
- Eri Tail fix
- Sprint is now a toggle. Press the sprint button to go into sprinting mode and press it again to go back to walking.
Unfortunately I didn't get to any other fixes or content updates because of all the controller support work I did this week. Hopefully next week I'll be able to dive back in and start fixing bugs and adding new content!
