Hey everyone, I'm happy to announce a pretty large update for Slimekeep that adds controller support! You guys have asked me so many times now to add this and it's finally here, so I hope you enjoy.
I will just leave a few disclaimers regarding this update to be clear however:
Things may not be perfect. I've tried my best to test everything but there very well may be issues I'm unaware of, so if you encounter any controller-specific oddities, please let me know by reporting them in my Discord server.
Unfortunately this update may not bring support for all controllers out there. From testing, Xbox, Playstation, and Steam controllers seem to all work perfectly. However, I have had issues specifically with Nintendo Switch controllers and other third party ones. So I'm really sorry, but I can't guarantee these controllers will work with this update. This is because I developed Slimekeep on a very old version of unity that is unable to update to the newest version of the input system I am using, so I really apologize for this. You may however be able to get around this by using a controller emulator or via steam input.
Speaking of steam input, it should hopefully be disabled by default, but if you have previously enabled it, be sure to disable it from your steam library! Steam input conflicts with the native support I have added and may lead to issues.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this update and please let me know what you think! I really don't play too many games on controllers so I'm not the most familiar with the best default key binds, or general player preferences, so if you have any suggestions, I'm happy to hear them. Also stay tuned for my devlog on how I added controller which will be out this later this week!
I've also fixed a few bugs in this update, so here they are:
