Patchnotes via Steam Community
This build has not been seen in a public branch.

Full gamepad support is now available in the beta test branch! Everything seems to work A-OK, but the whole underlying input system has been overhauled, including for keyboard & mouse, so I want it to go through a short testing period first.

Give it a spin, and please share any thoughts on it - even if it's just a "works fine", which is what I'm hoping for!

To switch to the beta branch:

  • right click Pawnbarian in your Steam Library
  • select Properties
  • select Betas
  • switch to "public-beta"

Select "none" instead to switch back to the main version of the game.

I've been testing with an Xbox 360 controller, but any generic gamepad (and Steam Deck!) should work just fine. You can swap between K&M and gamepad at any time, the game will adjust accordingly.

A few limitations / not yet implemented features:

  • Tutorial text doesn't account for gamepad use. High priority.
  • Polish language version doesn't have the new strings translated. High priority.
  • Gamepad input isn't rebindable. Medium priority.
  • There are no button prompts during gameplay. Medium priority to have it as an option.
  • Some non-crucial descriptions aren't available (loot, hearts, deck/discard). Low priority.

Cheers,
Jan
