Greetings! We are bringing our latest controller support changes into the main game - Steam [controller-support] is no more! This means most of the game is now fully playable with controller - from start to finish. Some controller-related things are still missing which we will add and improve current solutions in further updates. Known limitations are:

• No way to rebind controller keys
• No way to change your Sipho layout by moving grown zooids - you will have to ungrow and re-grow them
• Mouse-wheel camera zoom does not have a controller counterpart

Version 0.5.3

• Don't try to rebind the confirm button (not supported by us at the moment, since uGUI uses old input).
• Use text mesh pro for showing rebind option UI
• Fix freeze when leaving growth mode and also starting some growth-specific module action at the same time
• Fix zooid growth preview appearing over mouse instead of over the target growth points
• Fix up and clean up GrowZooid update logic
• Switch on Controller as primary instantly after receiving input instead of 10 seconds
• Auto select first enabled growth sidebar zooid UI element when current one gets disabled
• Don't camera shake camera and rumble controller when progressing - that was unnoticeable anyway
• Use layout indices for discarding invalid growth points
• Don't generate growth points around dead zooids
• Use Breed asset to define starting zooid inventories. Store Inventory on Siphonophore rather on Head zooid
• Reference breeds from Zooids and not other way around
• Add breed definition as separate asset
• Don't try to initialize from an empty/null inventory
• Add SiphoIcons TextMeshPro atlas for all icons Sipho. Usage example:
• Use native environment templates for each breed in head selection
• Don't re-randomize inventory when loading enemies from a game save
• Make it impossible to save Sipho layout with incorrect indexes
• Save inventory for every sipho, not just the player
• Better logic for selecting the next growth point
• Choose a nearby position for the next potential growth after growing a zooid instead of doing it at random
• Instead of trying to do some fancy growth logic in GrowZooid, use the existing growth logic inside BuildElementUI (this fixes sounds not playing when growing)
• Added big brutes for bug and bone levels as well
• Don't try to do screenshake in growth mode
• Show ungrow zooid key when selecting zooid
• Growth UI modules provide info on what they do
• You can now switch to skill editing/ungrowing from any UI module and you also get some helpful text that says what can you do
• Naming your sipho will no longer trigger every single hotkey
• Screenshake rumbles controllers
• Change the blood particle texture to something that has more texture
• Some more prefab updates
• Controller now vibrates when you tell it to
• Rebind UI uses text mesh pro
• Move out some of the beautification code into the StringBeautifier
• Save some reserialized prefabs
• Add SystemCallbacks that allows subscribing to Updates happening from unity
• Fix camera getting stuck in boss fight
• Increase skill UI key binding size
• Provide xbox images when returning a beautified string if possible
• Skill UI text uses text mesh pro
• Push some changed files
• Use menu toggle to cancel rebinding so that you could rebind some skill to the button 'b'. Also improve the input manager string beautifier a bit to return controller bindings when needed
• Offset controller images by a little
• Add a place for UIModule-specific controller help text
• Show the button for entering/leaving growth mode

• Report when poolable is destroyed because it didn't have an original
• Fix Spike Zooid background not being pooled properly
• Fix nutrition icon in Aquarium enemy spawn menu
• Add flashes to powerup pickup effects and fix their colors

• Close Layout Browser when pressing cancel button
• Tooltips follow their targets instead of attaching to a static position
• Don't use the singleton if we can help it

• Show player aquarium menu only when base growth module is active
• Deactivate module after popping
• Quit Growth module immidiately after growth is toggled - otherwise other modules get pushed to stack
• Make layout browser work with UI stack
• Fix mouse tooltips also being toggled by the tooltip toggle key
• Fix menu opening after leaving growth mode with Esc
• Reuse Aquarium UI module for layout browser

• Remove/replace a few old inputs with the new input manager

• Rename UngrowZooid to a more broad ZooidInfoAndUngrow
• Slightly rework tooltip instance to have better API
• Zooid ungrowing emulates PointerEnter/Exit events on ZooidButtonUI
• Use polymorphism in BuildUIManager because we can
• Simplify Aquarium Menu UI module
• Add Debug Menu entry for UI module stack
• Fix null reference exception in GrowZooid
• Do not open aquarium menu when player controls are disabled (for example game menu is open)
