Hey folks! We've been listening to feedback and have fixed a ton of little bugs. I didn't keep track of most of them. The two big things for this update is controller support and fixing items disappearing from players' inventories. For the latter, we've found what we believe is the problem. The code removes items not needed for combat temporarily and re-adds them after each fight. However, if you enter combat again too quickly after exiting it, the code is interrupted. We've put a fix in place that should keep that from happening again. If it does, post it in our bug list on the discussion boards. For the former, we now have controller support! You can now use the Action Key (Enter or Space Bar) to jump at designated places (rather than the 1 key, and being able to uselessly jump anywhere). Shift will allow you to crawl instead of the 3 key. This is a relic from when I made the first version of this game about 10 years ago. Back then, most people didn't have gamepads for their PCs, so it wasn't a huge concern. Furthermore, I really wanted you to be able to jump at any time to get a sense of freedom. That's what I wanted at the time. When I revisited the game to fix it up, there were a lot of things I didn't change because I didn't realize how much of a problem they were. This, fortunately, I realized was a problem. Thanks to everyone that mentioned it for convincing me this needed to be changed. Hope you're all having fun! We're still around to support this game, so if you find issues, let me know!
