Waste Walkers
3/10/21 Gamepad/Controller Support Update 2.0.5
Hey everyone!
Like my other two games, Lawless Lands and Disgraced, I have added gamepad and controller support for Waste Walkers!
It's been a long time coming, but I finally had time to really investigate this and get it sorted.
It's not perfect, but I've done a lot of testing with my xbox-360/xbox-one controller and it's working.
IN ORDER TO TOGGLE BETWEEN KEYBOARD OR GAMEPAD, THERE IS A FILE IN THE GAME'S INSTALL DIRECTORY CALLED "gamepad.txt"!
TYPING "1" INTO THE FILE WILL ENABLE THE GAMEPAD AND DISABLE THE ADVANCED KEYBOARD SUPPORT.
TYPING "0" INTO THE FILE WILL ENABLE THE ADVANCED KEYBOARD SUPPORT AND DISABLE THE GAMEPAD.
BASED ON ENGINE LIMITATIONS, THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I HAVE FOUND TO DO THIS.
YOU MAY NEED TO RUN THE GAME AS ADMINISTRATOR FOR THIS TO WORK.
Here is a guide on how to use it: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2420644683
This change applies to the game and the expansions!
Update 2.0.5 Change Log:
Changes & Additions:
-Added "gamepad.txt" File to the Install Directory with a Default Setting of "0" (the gamepad is disabled and the advanced keyboard is enabled / setting to "1" will reverse the effect)
-Added a Default Control Scheme for Gamepads
You should NOT need to start a new game.
If you have any issues or concerns, please let me know.
The update will be available publicly soon.

Finally Done with School!
Hey everyone!
I wanted to quick share this here because it's some exciting news!
I just finished my final classes and have officially graduated with my bachelor's in Computer Science of Game Programming and Development and have been awarded summa com laude! (steam censors that middle word - replace the o with a u - the award means I graduated in the top 5%) Woohoo! :-)
My immediate plan is to finally get to finishing up the expansion for Lawless Lands - Unrest - and then figure out what I'll do next. I have been working a lot with the Unreal Engine so maybe I'll be doing some work with that.
Thank you all for your support and for reading!

Forgotten Achievement
This is just a quick announcement to let you all know that there is now one more achievement for the Deliverance DLC.
It is minor, but something that was left out due to me forgetting to activate the achievement and, after all the time, I've now realized and done so.
There was meant to be an achievement when you blow open the vault door in the bank of the DLC, but it was never activated. Now, it's there.
Just wanted to keep you all updated on changes - no matter how minor.
Maybe this will give some of you a reason to replay through it! :-)
Enjoy!

Lawless Lands - New Year Sale
Hey everyone!
I hope the new year is treating you all well thus far.
I just wanted to stop by real quick and let you all know that my newest game, Lawless Lands, will be on sale for the next several days! This will give you the chance to start off the new year with a cool new game at a great price!
Lawless Lands launched in full release on August 14th, 2020, after spending almost 2.5 years in Early Access. It has received a number of free content updates, patches, QOL improvements, and community-requested features added onto it over the past few months to bring out its full potential.
With an estimated gameplay time of AT LEAST 70 hours, there is quite an abundance of unique content to keep you busy!
You can find it here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/880130/Lawless_Lands/
Plunge into the Lawless Lands of Crossia, a once great kingdom where chaos slowly consumes more and more of the country. The cities have plummeted into poverty and crime, and the surrounding countryside is littered with famine and death. The army is close to collapse from an ever-lasting war and cannot stop the spread of the disorder. Hope is almost nonexistent, restoring order is believed to be futile, and panic lingers everywhere. Take on the role of a champion who rises from the ashes to end the suffering.
Enjoy!

Quick PSA: Recent Rapid Updates
Hey everyone!
I just wanted to drop by real quick and mention this. Some of you may have noticed a few small updates to Waste Walkers, Disgraced, and Lawless Lands, last night. I was adding a quick menu option to the title screen which will let you check out my other games.
Due to the way Steam detects you being in a game or not, the browser which opened the link to my Steam page was being viewed as the game running, so I'm trying to find a work-around. This is a Steam thing and not directly caused by me because the game is spawning a child process and Steam sees that as part of the game itself. As you can imagine, it's quite annoying. All I wanted to do was link my other work.
I'm currently investigating alternative methods in Ruby to combat this. If you have any suggestions, feel free to post here.
What I've tried:
-Thread.new - Steam still thinks the game is running even if the game closes but the browser remains open
-Fiber.new - Steam still thinks the game is running even if the game closes but the browser remains open
Currently Trying:
Separate Batch File - My thinking is that if I have the game just launch a batch file that separately opens the website, independently of the game running, then Steam won't detect it as the game is still running
Thank you for reading.
