Full controller support added, ALL colors in the game revamped, Disco Disorder revamped, LAST demo update!

[h2]The LAST Demo Update[/h2]
This huge update is the finish of our work on the demo, which means we will finally be working exclusively on the main game again: no more demo updates from now on! (Unless there's an issue or bug in this update that we haven't caught yet! 😅)

[h2]FULL Controller Support[/h2]
Minigame Madness is now finally FULLY controller supported! Controller support in Minigame Madness is something we've wanted from the start, but it will always stay a difficult feature to support, considering the fact that the game is multiplayer; Some minigames will just always be more difficult on controller (aiming/shooting games come to mind), and your opponents using mouse and keyboard will destroy you in them! We will be exploring options for aim-assist that's competitively fair in the future, as we intend to keep improving controller support. 😁🎮

[h2]The Color Calamity[/h2]
The entire game should look a lot better now color-wise! 🤩 The lead designer of the game was working on a terrible monitor, causing all the colors in previous versions of the game to be all kinds of messed up. A new monitor has been purchased and all those issues have now been painstakingly fixed. The biggest change you'll notice is the fact that the lobby is now blue (which it always was for our lead designer)! 😜



[h2]Disco Disorder Finalized[/h2]
Disco Disorder has finally been finalized, making it even more fun! 😉

Audio revamp, quality of life changes, optimizations and more!

This update adds dedicated footstep sound effects for each and every surface type, and many other changes we already can't live without anymore! 😁

Last update we said there was probably only going to be one more demo update, as we plan to focus on the full game again after that. That turned out to be incorrect. The update AFTER this one will be the last demo update in a while!

We had to split this update in two, because we needed to release all the quality of life changes in this update quickly, as we're participating in many events in the coming days! 🤩
