Introduction
Today a major update has been released - version 1.20. This may seem like a confusing version number as the previous build was version 0.0.1.9.7 and we've jumped into a completely different scale. The primary decision to change the version number is due to the release of the game and lack of time for development - the original plan did not quite fit the end result - we were also breaking Steam's agreement for a game release with the previous version number.
Steam Deck & Gamepad Support
We will not be verifying compatibility for the Steam deck any time soon, this would take far too long and would require large amounts of testing. Basic actions can be performed on a gamepad input device but that is where the support will end. It is highly recommended that you play with a keyboard as there are more keys for binding actions.
