Technical Update - Controller Support & Improvements

[h3]Hello everyone! 👋[/h3][p]We've released a regular technical update that improves the core systems of the game and touches several important gameplay aspects. Most importantly, we've added controller support, along with numerous bug fixes and improvements.[/p][h2]🎮 Controls & Input[/h2]

• [p]Full controller support has been added.[/p]
• [p]In theory, the game should now also work on Steam Deck, but we don't yet have the device for proper testing. We expect to test it fully in 1–2 months.[/p]
• [p]The computer and cash register interfaces can now be controlled using both a controller and the keyboard.[/p]
• [p]You can now rebind keyboard and mouse controls in the game settings. Controller button rebinding is not available yet and will be added later.[/p]

[h2]🖥 UI & Visual Improvements[/h2]

• [p]The game UI has been redesigned and recolored: text is now more readable, pop-up windows are animated, and button effects have been improved.[/p]
• [p]The hint window now includes all main control keys. If you forget how to play or want to switch to a controller, press [c]H[/c].[/p]

[h2]🔊 Audio & Music[/h2]

• [p]New UI sounds have been added.[/p]
• [p]New in-game sounds have been added, including a cash register sound and a passing train sound.[/p]
• [p]Background music now loops after a track ends, continuing at a lower volume instead of stopping.[/p]

[h2]📦 Gameplay & Item Interaction[/h2]

• [p]The storage cabinet logic has been reworked: you can now store up to 4 boxes per shelf.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where boxes could fly out of the cabinet when it was overfilled.[/p]
• [p]The amount of goods left in a box is now clearly visible, thanks to a small improvement in how items are displayed.[/p]

[h2]🤖 NPC Behavior & AI[/h2]

• [p]If a thief's exit is blocked, they will no longer teleport to it — instead, they will try to find an alternative route.[/p]
• [p]Sally's box pickup radius has been increased, so she no longer gets stuck near the cabinet and can reach any box properly.[/p]

[h2]👩 Characters & Animations[/h2]

• [p]Added interaction animations for all workers. These don't affect gameplay yet, but we plan to add rewards for interacting with workers in future updates.[/p]
• [p]Fixed some character texture issues.[/p]
