Official update history
Hello! I told my publisher I wouldn't touch PA again, but I lied a tiny bit. Luckily, they're cool. I just wanted to address some notes I saw here and there about look sensitivity, so I added sliders.
Look Sensitivity Sliders
It's one of those things that's different on every computer and I can get it there for me and a every tester, but I can't guarantee my preferences are everyone's which is why I normally add these sorts of things. Obviously, that was going to be a polish task later but here we are, so I wanted to quickly plug them in.
Controller Support?
One of the blessings AND curses with it being a full in-development project that ended is that I have a lot of stuff under the hood for a full game like controller support. However, I never implemented key binding or gave it the correct testing pass since there wasn't a plan for controller support for this mini experience.
However! I care about accessibility and, while I couldn't hook up key binding, I did do a run-through and added one or two missing controller binds and made sure they responded correctly in game. So, the game now has controller support if you need it!
This will probably be the only update to PA (unless something horrible happens). As much as I love supporting my projects, I can't spend more time on this and not on new work. I hope everyone understands. Obviously, if there is a game breaking issue, I will jump in and fix it.
Thank you all so much for the response to PA! It means the world to me and motivates me like nothing else to keep going and make more! Thank you again and have a Happy Halloween!
