February may have looked quiet from the outside…
It wasn’t.
A lot of behind-the-scenes polish has gone into making Little Devil smoother, smarter and far more controller-friendly.
Here’s what’s been happening in Hell:
❤️ Enemy Health UI Fix
Some of you may have noticed enemy health bars weren’t behaving properly.
They are now.
Demons can no longer hide their suffering.
🐗 Snout Fiend – New Attack Added
Snout Fiend now has a brand new attack.
Encounters should feel less predictable and a little more chaotic (in a good way… probably).
🧠 Improved Enemy Wandering Behaviour
All enemies have had improvements to their wandering behaviour.
Less robotic.
More natural.
More “I might ruin your day at any moment.”
It’s subtle, but it makes the world feel much more alive.
🎭 Jester Demon – Movement Animation Added
The Jester Demon finally moves like he means it.
A full movement animation has been added, giving him far more personality (and menace).
🎮 Full Controller Support Complete
Controller support is now fully implemented.
Tested with:
Keyboard & Mouse
PS5 Controller
Configured for:
Steam Deck
Switch Pro Controller
Xbox Controllers
Generic Controllers
(These are configured and mapped, but not yet fully hardware tested.)
Controllers can now:
Move with left analogue
Aim with right analogue
Navigate menus
Interact fully with the UI
Fully Control the Player
This is a major step toward wider accessibility and eventual release.
🎯 New Controller Aiming Reticule
A brand new aiming reticule has been added specifically for controller users.
It appears automatically when a controller is detected.
It disappears when switching back to Keyboard and Mouse.
Right analogue stick controls aiming direction.
This keeps mouse gameplay precise while giving controller users full control without compromise.
🎛 Controls Menu Improvements
The Controls menu now detects connected controllers and allows you to cycle between them.
No unplugging.
No restarting.
No demon sacrifices required.
🧪 Steam Beta Submission Process Started
The submission process for a Little Devil Beta build on Steam has officially begun.
Opening the gates soon.
Pray for stability.
📖 Comic Milestone Incoming
And outside the game…
The Little Devil webcomic is about to hit Page 100.
One hundred pages of demons, bad decisions, and questionable life choices.
If you haven’t read it yet, it’s a prequel story set in the same universe as the game.
(And yes… things are escalating.)
Final Words From Hell
As always, I’m working hard to make Little Devil the best it can be.
If you’d like more regular updates, I post on Discord and my socials — and new comic pages go live there too.
You can find everything via my LinkTree.
Thank you for sticking with the project and supporting indie development. It genuinely means a lot.
Have fun everyone.
