Beta 14.5.6 - Controller and Localization Fixes (and map update!)
Today's update includes some more fixes to issues related to controller, keyboard, and localization. I also have some map update progress to share too!
I've also made some great progress on the new map system, but I've also added more features to it so it is taking a bit longer than expected.
In the above gif you can see the mouse-over text working as well as new markers appearing when I have quests. The character marker matching your character's facing is also in.
I have to hook up a few more things for the map, including the remaining quests and a system to add a marker for a quest and then make it permanent - for example, when you first get the quest to meet Grrrumble you'll get a quest marker for his location. But after that, a permanent marker is placed at his location since you've met him. There are a few other instances like this, such as Shaydee's Shop and the Magic Pool.
I also need to add controller support for the markers (so you can see their pop-up text) which will be a bit tricky, but should fit within the existing controller system. The sorting of things that you mouse over also needs some more work - you can see this is in the gif when I mouse over the town marker, the player marker gets hidden behind it. So, still some work to do, but I'm really happy with it and I think it'll make a good addition to the game once it's done!
