What's next?

Controller Support Controller support will be the first thing I'm working on once the 1.0 is out!

However, Skyformer will always be better overall on mouse and keyboard if you have a choice between both. Controller support is quite complicated due to the number of different controls and complicated UIs. There will be many UIs that will need redesigning to make it work, so the timeline is unpredictable at the moment.

Additional Maps The concept of a new map has been planned out, but won't be able to work on it in the near future due to lack of sales at the moment. If sales increase to help fund development this could change!

Thanks again for all the support and feedback to bring Skyformer to where it is now :)
