Gamepad support + new Abilities screen beta is now live!
Hi there,
We've been working on some UI features, including better gamepad support, a more robust input manager, and a whole new Abilities screen. That work is now live on the beta branch!
If you'd like to help us test it, right-click on Caves of Qud in Steam, select Properties, click the Betas tab, and switch to the 'beta' branch. Note: previous saves won't be compatible with this beta.
Please post your bugs here.
Live and drink, friends.

- We added a new Abilities screen ('a').
- Added icons for every ability.
- Added in-depth, dynamic descriptions for many abilities (the rest to come).
- You can reorder abilities on the Abilities screen and they will also reorder in your hotbar.
- Added icons for every ability.
- We made several enhancements to the ability hotbar.
- Your abilities are now automatically hotkeyed. You can change the hotkeys from the Abilities screen.

- New ability icons also appear on the hotbar.
- Your abilities are now automatically hotkeyed. You can change the hotkeys from the Abilities screen.
