Happy New Year to everyone! I hope everybody has had a great holiday season and I'm excited to bring you todays update. Our dedicated community has grown so much over the period and we are very happy!
The first change was the addition of Colour Pallets to the levels. This change was suggested by a member of the community and we liked it so much that we just had to implement it. From now on each level will randomly generated as one of 4 colour pallets providing additional visual variety to the levels which will especially benefit players who are stuck in the earlier stages.

NPC Update

Introducing Dr Dando and the Mysterious Tau. These two have some new information about this strange other world that you constantly find yourself in.
Brontes has also received an extreme makeover and now features a higher polygon count.

Controller Support

The largest piece of content from the update is the addition of Partial Controller Support. We designed the system to work with Xbox 360 controllers and are currently in the process of acquiring a Steam Controller in order to make sure that everything works smoothly on all controller types. You will still need a mouse and keyboard to launch the game and select quality and resolution settings and the controller support hasn't been fully implemented with the multiplayer menus. However controllers will work on all the main single player menus and the main game experience.

Control Scheme Change Defaults

E on keyboard is 'A' on Xbox 360 TAB on keyboard is 'RB' on Xbox 360 ESC on keyboard is 'B' on Xbox 360 SPACE on keyboard is 'LEFT TRIGGER' on Xbox 360 MOUSE-CLICK on mouse is 'RIGHT TRIGGER' on Xbox 360 RB and LB on Xbox 360 are also used to toggle blessings options at an Altar. Justifying Jump on Left Trigger The reason the jump button has been default mapped to left trigger instead of the standard 'A' button was so that players can have both thumbs on the analog sticks while also being able to jump so that they can smoothly adjust the game camera and their own guns aim while also being able to dodge and shoot unhindered.
