Greetings Riders,
This update focuses on controller support, better performance, bug fixes and balance changes.
Gameplay changes
Controller support. Gathering mode on controller works with this ray which can interact with all objects. Two interaction changes has been made to better fit this new system: All one-click to gather objects like gems/sticks need one click each now (cant hold click and sweep to gather many). All objects that need holding gathering button to gather like logs/rocks now need to be focused/hovered while gathering or the interaction will stop. These changes affect both M&K and controller.
New trading center panel that opens from the main Outpost building. Here you can trade your resources now
Trajectory line in aiming mode is now red
The DPS Tracker has been removed
Added a clickable pause button on the top right corner
Added controls panel in settings
Leaderboards have been reset for the update (best 100 endless mode scores for 1.2 version remain visible)

Fixes
All interaction bugs in gathering mode should now be fixed
Performance in later stages of endless more where many enemies spawn should now be a lot better
Some sound effects that were low quality has been reworked.
Some minor visual bugs have been fixed
Thats all for now. This update took a long time cause along with the controller support i wanted to do major reworking on many core systems of the game for better performance and to make it easier to maintain/update in the future.
Next update will probably focus on new content with 1 new turtle and 2 new weapons.
