Developer Note

I've received feedback that some players preferred using the D-Pad for movement, or would like the option to continue using it that way alongside the new Hotkeys system.

I'm currently investigating the best way to support both approaches without compromising the new Hotkeys functionality introduced in Patch 1.8. My goal is to provide players with more flexibility, and I expect to have an update on this in an upcoming patch.

Thank you for all of the feedback and support—it continues to help shape Sanguine with every update!
