Major Demo Updates!

Nintendo Switch Pro controllers are now compatible! I played through the demo both on a Windows PC and SteamDeck using an official Switch Pro Controller to confirm. Pushing blocks has been revamped! You can now push a moveable block by walking into it like in GameBoy Zelda games -- no need to press the A button anymore. Other fixes, including some bug fixes on the boss battle and when players spam many buttons at once...

Demo Updates & Tweaks

A number of updates to the demo version were pushed in December, including:

• Map screen now shows if a room has a staircase in it.
• Water and pits are now more forgiving, letting you escape falling in during a brief 0.5s window.
• Enemies have a 0.5s buffer before they start moving and attacking when the player enters the sam grid as them.

First off, I want to thank everyone that's played the Isle of Reveries Demo and either left a review or posted their feedback in the Community Hub! It's come to my attention that there are some bugs when using a Nintendo Switch controller (Pro Controller, USB GameCube controller, etc). I believe this comes from the engine I'm using to build Isle of Reveries in. I'll be trying to resolve these issues, but I highly recommend playing with an Xbox controller (of any kind) or using the keyboard. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Although Valve doesn't provide verification for game demos at this time, Isle of Reveries is being developed and tested with Steam Deck in mind, so the demo is fully compatible by default. No need to fiddle with Proton versions or gamepad configurations! The Isle of Reveries Demo has received a couple of reviews from players that primarily played on Steam Deck: ---- "I'm a big fan of both traditional 2-D top-down Zelda and the GBC pixel art aesthetic, so IoR is right up my street. Clearly a lot of love and attention has gone into crafting this demo. Looking forward to the full game." -- Steam reviewer "i am a bird" -- Steam reviewer ----

Added a little patch fixing the following:

• Added an 0.5s buffer period when entering a grid before enemies can move around/attack.
• A couple of bugs with the boss that can occur between phases if specific actions are triggered.
• Minor layout adjustment in the dungeon.
• Decreased volume for the opening jingle.

I would like to improve the keyboard layout as well. If you have suggestions for a better keyboard layout, please post in the discussion board.
