Online, Gamepad, and Other Tweaks, Version 0.9.9.8
For this month's update, we focused on player feedback. There's gamepad tweaks, adjustments to the online co-op mode, and more. We're looking for more feedback for the next update, as we get close to 1.0!
The best way to send feedback is by the official Discord, with a link in game. We're also going to do a roundup of other feedback we may have missed, and go from there for the next update. Except less giant changes, and more focusing on polish as we prepare for the 1.0 launch.
One persistent thing we're having difficulty fixing are gamepad issues. In testing, I'm not having these problems myself, so we rely a lot of player feedback for this. If you have controller issues, please try contacting us on the Discord! The real-time chat nature of that really helps us fix things a lot easier than from other methods.
