Starlight Inception
New Build Posted (Joystick Patch +++)
This patch adds specific joystick detection and binding. A couple things to do to make sure this works as great as possible:
1) Make sure your joystick is connected, and drivers installed before starting the game.
2) Once the game has started, go to Options, Game Settings, Controls, and make sure that the joystick is active and saved. Then, a new row will show up called Joystick Assignment, which will let you check your keys and rebind them if desired. Make sure you are happy with the configuration before continuing.
In addition, lots of menu navigation issues have been fixed with the game. One of the other big issues was that the CP rewards have been significantly raised, and we have improved (hopefully) the easiness of some of the earlier missions, and fly patrol specifically,
Please let us know what you think, and give us a nice review if you like the update. Great reviews insure future updates - they really do help.
Thank you for your patience and understanding with this long process - our aim has always been to create a game that is solid and fun.
And if you have a second, please check out our new game set in the same 'verse, Starlight Tactics, which will be launching on Steam tomorrow, 04.07.2015.
Kindest Regards,
Garry and the Starlight Inception Team
