EA Update: Massive Controller and UI fixes

Hello Monster Tamers and Farmers!

It has been a few weeks since the last update and a very busy one at that. I wanted to address the concerns over the controller issues in depth. Along with this, you may notice a change in the UI and scaling for most menus. Since Chronomon is multi-platform, it was absolutely necessary to make sure that any screen from phones -> tablets -> Ultra wide screen monitors etc looked good and scaled properly. This is in preperation with hopefully some upcoming good news... We may be porting to consoles soon! From here on out, I'll be focusing my time on completing the relationships and marriage feature as well as some light Co-op multiplayer. Thanks again everyone for supporting this tiny 1 man studio!
