October Next Fest kicks off today, so I wanted to provide an update on state-of-play and what to expect.

Recent Updates

As a reminder, the demo now includes gamepad support using Xbox-controller prompts. This has made Steam Deck a viable way to play. More granular support and integration is planned for the future.

QOL updates and fixes have been made based on various feedback I received.

As always, if you have suggestions, feedback, or something is not working, please let me know in the community hub or on Discord.

Livestream
