v0.11 - Books, New Room Layouts & Controller changes

Greetings, Traveler!

Thanks for a great week of testing and feedback :) It was very fun~
This update is pushing a few new features as well as bug fixes and changes to the controller support.

Books
I've added a new form of consumable to the game: Books! They are a bit more rare than Potions. You can find them from enemies that carry shields, but you can also get them from other random loot sources. You can consume them just like you do with potions; they will have utility based effects, which are secret for now. Their names hint at the effects though - have fun finding them all out!

Controller support
I also worked on the controller support. There have been some fundamental problems with the input library I have been using. I've now upgraded it to use Xinput on windows, and changed the axis settings on Mac. While it will still be problematic for some systems (mostly mac I fear), it SHOULD work for all microsoft Xbox controllers, ASWELL as all other devices that use the correct Button settup with an Xinput enabled emulator.
If something is wrong, you may need to inverse the y-axis of the sticks, as well as make sure that your buttons are set up like this:

  • Button 0 - A
  • Button 1 - B
  • Button 2 - X
  • Button 3 - Y
  • Button 4 - Left Shoulder Button
  • Button 5 - Right Shoulder Button
  • Button 6 - Back / Select
  • Button 7 - Start
  • Button 8 - Left Stick Down
  • Button 9 - Right Stick Down
  • Button 10 - Dpad Up
  • Button 11 - Dpad Right
  • Button 12 - Dpad Down
  • Button 13 - Dpad Left
