New patch! Pad/Steamdeck compatibility! + New event
At least! Many players were impatiently waiting to be able to play with a controller or the steamdeck, it is now possible!
The implementation is done but there may be problems and we are counting on you to report to us any problems encountered related to the use of your controllers or the steamdeck!
IMPORTANT! For Steam Deck users: Change the Current Layout to the "Gamepad With Joystick Trackpad" template (click on the controller icon to the right of Play).
About the event, you will sometimes see bubbles in the sky containing objects, it's up to you to get them!
Adds:
- Controller support (experimental) - Ability to switch from controller / keyboard in game just by pressing any key - New optional directional mode (experimental) - New small event: bubbles
Fix: - TRex is uncapturable - Random crash when starting
The directional mode no longer uses the cursor as a reference for the front of the player. If you press Left, the player will move to the left, even if he was facing right. You can toggle the directional mode with 'L1 + Y'.
Note: atm the game only support one layout, but it should be possible to configure different layouts with Steam big picture.
No menu is associated to to the controler, but you should be able to use any controller at any time.
