Hello adventurers! It's been a little bit since the last update, but I'm excited to finally share the next iteration of the demo with you. Here's what you can expect: Controller support There is now support for controllers! Please note that at these early stages it is still considered somewhat preliminary, so please reach out if you run into any issues. You should be able to play the game entirely with the controller, including viewing relevant button prompts, with the exception of your character's name (more on this below), which will require a keyboard if you don't want to use one of the pre-generated names.
Player characters You can now design your own character to lead your party! As you're in charge of managing your party, you won't participate in combat directly, but your background will play a part in how your adventure unfolds. Please note that for the demo release, only one background is currently available. More will be added at a later date.
A new unit The archer can now upgrade to a more powerful ranged unit, the arbalist! This unit offers similar movement options to the archer, but can attack more cells in more directions.
