Fix the game defaulting to controller input by mistake, changed it to only doing that if running in Steam Deck

Fixed (hopefully) issue where changing device (Different PCs or PC to Steam Deck) could reset the save file\nFix flicker on level change for key indicator when playing with controller\n

Small fixes for Steam Deck\n\n- Should allow changing between steam deck controller and mouse modes\n- Application properly from main menu with Steam Deck or controller on PC

Fix some gamepad issues:\n- World levels not compeltable with gamepad due to a bug\n- Tutorial text not appearing in gamepad in levels 1 and 4\n\nSorry, we missed these because we didn\'t test enough with gamepad! Please if you play with gamepad or steam deck and find an issue let us know, we might just be unaware.

We're excited to announce that LOK Digital is taking part in this year's Cerebral Puzzle Showcase ! From May 29th to June 5th get the game for 25% off
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2207440/LOK_Digital/
This year's showcase returns for the fourth year running, and features:

Hundreds of puzzle game discounts to find your next favourite game
Countless puzzle demos, including brand new content
Special showcase puzzle game bundles

But that's not all, check out the official livestream all weekend, and watch tonight's Thinky Direct at 6pm BST for some exciting Draknek & Friends updates.

Small update to fix a lategame softlock, and finish polishing some gamepad related stuff.

- BUG: Button on the final animation does not work
- Gamepad dpad works on levels
- Changed buttons for going to previous and next level
- Changed behavior and availability of the main menu exit button depending on platform

This update mostly focuses on fully setting up controller support. Controller support was already working somewhat with some problematic exceptions and thats why we weren't advertising it.
This update also intends to get the game Steam Deck verified.

-Settings usable with gamepad
-Daily menus usable with gamepad
-Sun level playable with gamepad
-Cutscenes and credits usable with gamepad
-A lot of small changes and tweaks to hopefully make gamepad controls nicer

This update also carries some changes that were made for the mobile version but might have had some mild impact on the pc build, both positively (game running nicer) and maybe negatively (particle systems being less flashy or textures having lower resolution somewhat) but it shouldn't be noticeable.

Update also fixes some issues related to fonts:
-Usernames should be readable in leaderboard as long as they use characters in the game's supported languages
-Playing the game in slovenian used to make the game freeze at the start of world 6 due to a missing glyph

Sorry to controller players and slovenians for taking so long!

About the IGF Awards

LOK Digital on Mobile

BUGS:
- Daily scores fail to submit to leaderboard

Small patch to yet again fix a weird generation edge case that made the daily 3 unsolvable yesterday.

A lot of the work on this patch is on background stuff, getting ready for mobile launch. LOK Digital launches on mobile on January 23!

BUGS:
- Generator can place a word that loops over itself and the generator thinks it can be spelled, but it can't.
- Dictionary button in world map was sometimes visually overlapping with the resource counters for keys and birds.
- Last update made text slightly aliased and crispy, I smoothed it a bit.
- Last patch I mistakenly left the debug button active in settings on, which lets players enable developer mode which had a bunch of secret keyboard shortcuts to test stuff. Thankfully, no one knew how to use it much :D

Cheers and happy 2025!

Small localisation changes

BUG:
- Fixed generator generating unsolvable levels

I hope it's the last time you have to see this bugfix! Sorry

FEATURES:
- Added a setting to activate in-game keyboard, in case the player wants to play mouse-only, or has no english keyboard, or has some keyboard-layout related issue I have not been able to code around.
- Improved the visual quality of some scaled UI assets.
- Compressed audio slightly to reduce build size in disk by a lot.
- Progress on gamepad support: Settings menu and dailies should be usable with gamepad

BUGS:
- Level editor properly loads arrows checkbox, clouds checkbox, and completion seal
- Fix monument pieces sorting issues.
- Keyboard input should behave nicer with strange keyboard layouts.
- Fixed the generator rarely being able to generate an unsolvable level.
- Some fixes related to LOKBOY's power button being triggerable with gamepad from outside of its world.

Version 1.0.1

Various localisation changes
Set date format to YYYY/MM/DD for traditional and simplified chinese
BUG: Fixed some missing chinese characters

BUG: Fixed daily puzzles being inconsistent between regions with different date formats
BUG: Reestablished train service on the first visit to world 7
BUG: Fixed monument level reset duplicating monument pieces and requiring level restart
