Penkura changes
Dev-Com
Welcome, members of the Accord!
In this small patch, we are adding two things to the game.
The first is a dedicated crash report system. This should help players provide us with rare, but incredibly important, data that will greatly help us improve the game even further.
The second is a dedicated Quick Wheel for controller support. With the number of usable items available in the game, the quick bar is an important feature. Until now, players using controllers were unable to use it, as it was bound to the keyboard only.
Because of that, we created our own Quick Wheel system from scratch, designed specifically for controllers. I am certain that there are still a few things to iron out, as my experience with a controller is based on only a few hours of gameplay.
Of course, the Quick Wheel is not a replacement for the quick bar. The Quick Wheel is activated with a controller, not the keyboard. The quick bar remains in the game, and we have also visually improved it to make it more visible for keyboard players.
With the addition of the Quick Wheel, I believe it is time to add the partial controller support icon to the Steam Store page. For the moment, this applies only to Xbox controllers, as this is the only controller I was able to borrow and test. Even though PlayStation controllers should work without a problem, I am uncomfortable adding that icon without extensive testing and certainty that everything works as it should.
We will slowly work on changing partial controller support into full controller support, but that will come when we start updating the UI for the RTS system, which will happen after the release of patch 0.2.0.

Penkura Main Branch Adjustment
--------------------- ⊞ Bugs/Errors ⊞ ---------------------
◈ C.A.T loaded in the wrong position, while thinking its above the correct structure, leading to player being zapped by the materialization beam.
◈ Bot was unable to leave the Command Center if player stands to close to it, (minor error with collision accuracy).
◈ Errors when moving camera on map using the controller (forward and right, movement was contaminating backwards and left movement).
◈ Left Mouse Button Click and Controller Use Button, was being activated twice.
◈ On level transition, there was a chance for the bot, to fall through the ground, when in transition between bases, we added a small security system so that bot IF fallen through the ground will be teleported back above it. (This error requires more investigation).
