Controller Support Update (1.0.0.1)

Welcome to our first update post 1.0!


In this update, 1.0.0.1, we have made major changes to the game to support controllers, along with adding controller icons that support multiple types of controllers. We currently support Xbox, Playstation, Nintendo, and Steam Deck controller icon sets.

ALL Game Worlds now have full controller support! Minigolf, Accelerate, Ball Race, Zombie Massacre, Virus, Little Crusaders, and SDNL now have full controller support, along with force feedback! Plaza activities such as Casino, Arcade, Bowling, Trivia, and Billiards all have controller support as well now!

Controller force feedback was improved across the game, adding rumble to various aspects of gameplay for all the Game Worlds. In Ball Race, bumpers will rumble like a bumper should, in Minigolf you'll feel the slight taps of the railings and the HIO rocket, and in Little Crusaders you will feel the Dragon's roar!

We added controller support to the menus, so you can enter and play game worlds, browse workshop maps, enter your condo or other condos, customize yourself, buy items, or check your collection book progress all with your controller.

This was a huge undertaking and project! We're still working on controller support for the hot bar/player emotes. We are also working on full compatibility with the Steam Deck and will have more news on that soon!



About two weeks ago, we started our first public beta as a test run to help get feedback on this 1.0.0.1 update. The beta testing went very well and we'll continue to use public betas going forward.

We’ll have more formal announcements that these are going on in the future now that we’ve done this initial try!
