fixedWe are happy to announce that DBB is now fully controller supported, meaning that no mouse or keyboard is required to set up or play DBB! We'd like to thank everyone providing all the valuable feedback! We have been working on usability and controller issues addressed in the reviews, discussions, and private messages, and this patch is something that aims to fix these issues, at least the vast majority of them! The biggest change of this update is also why the full controller support is now available: The controls can now be configured in the menu, instead of in the launcher that has now been removed. Not only the in-game config menu renders the launcher obsolete, but also means that much less effort and time is required to set custom controls up. There is also now a simple visual guide that recommends a button for each action, so setting buttons/keys before actually playing the game now makes sense. Another big issues has been the use of cryptic commands like "swap" or "special" in tutorial which by themselves mean absolutely nothing. To help clear the confusion, this patch adds input feedback into tutorial mode showing the corresponding command of a button press above the player. Also, player numbers can now be seen every time a new session starts, helping to distinguish the character you control for first time players. More similar fixes will be included in the upcoming 0.9.9.5! Keep the feedback coming, it'll be read! We hope these fixes let you focus on fighting each other instead of the game! Cheers! Full changelog:
