Steamdeck and Controller Improvements
This update primarily affects Steamdeck users by creating an alternative UI layout specifically for the Steamdeck that allows for better readability. The smaller screen and lower resolution made much of the UI hard to comfortably and easily look at. Improvements to text rendering has made text much sharper and clearer in general. Handling for multiple controllers has also been added, allowing for easy switching between gamepads rather than being locked into the first connected gamepad.Example of the new UI Layout and improved text renderingAddedNew compact layout for SteamdeckHandling for multiple controllersChangedBetter text rendering for sharper text and increased readabilityFixedLots and lots of typosController bug when creating new saveBug that allows starting a level while still in the shop tutorialCrash when selling attachment and attachments have already been purchasedBug that makes joystick occasionally freak outRead full article on Community Announcements (voidknightgames)Patch NotesOfficial
