Controller Update - EA 0.5.22

Controller Support

Controller support is now in the testing phase! Plug in your favourite Xbox or PlayStation controller and give it a go.

As this is the first version of controller support, please leave your feedback inside the Discord server for how we can improve it.

With controller support added, the Steamdeck can now run the game much better. We're still working on an update to ensure the Steamdeck runs the game at native resolution with the correct control icons. Look out for this update soon.

1.0 Launch

The 1.0 launch date will be announced next week! It's been a wild ride since November, and I'm incredibly grateful for the positive reception the game has had.

I want to clarify that even after the 1.0 launch, I will continue to fix any new bugs you guys might uncover and implement new feedback for the game from the influx of new players.

Thank you for your continued support. I literally wouldn't be able to do this without you guys 🙏

I Need Your Help

This week, I came to find out that my X account has been wrongfully suspended for inauthentic behaviour, with 9.5K followers and 2-factor authentication enabled.

I reached out to appeal the suspension daily and still haven't heard back from them.

I have been sharing my progress on X/Twitter for 7 years, and it has become one of my best social media platforms.

It would mean a lot to me if you could make a post on X mentioning @Support and @DeadUnicornInc about the false suspension.

I appreciate your help!
