@kakesinfo Yeah

Time for some Hytale gameplay/accessibility news, gamepad support drops in pre-release tomorrow!

This is the first iteration, we know some things are a bit finicky with it, but it's in a good enough place that we feel okay releasing this to the public!

It supports most of the existing controllers (if not all - we rely on SDL3, but I know some of you will have some obscure controllers :p).

Hytale features a lot of different keybinds, it was quite a challenge to try to fit most of them on a controller. We came up with an initial layout that we believe covers the most critical aspects of the game. But if you find something that suits you better, you'll be able to rebind controller input actions to what suits you best!

As we move to Noesis for the in-game UI, the UI navigation by controller will improve. We had to implement a custom navigation for our current framework UI since it didn't support controller navigation at all.

We'll improve it over time, and we'll rely on your feedback as well (you can use the in-game report for that)!

@kakesinfo Hey, we pushed a launcher update that contains a fix that might help with your issue. It's not an auto-update though, you'll have to update it manually

[Mew @MewSoul]

@tomdepain Yeah at some point, lower prio for us at the moment though

[Mew @MewSoul]

@_Salsa77_ Oh yeah, it can benefit a ton of people, already planned to support it!

[Mew @MewSoul]

@PablloOswalld It is indeed, and it's planned to support it

[Mew @MewSoul]

@Draacoun Ahh nope, we just went faster :p

[Mew @MewSoul]

@nerwi_ That's a different kind of work, will come in a bit later

[Mew @MewSoul]

@kakesinfo We got someone who ordered a Steam Controller, so we'll test that, but no reason why it wouldn't work!

[Mew @MewSoul]

@heychazza Hopefully it should work all fine!

[Mew @MewSoul]

@Its_Insidisus There is a default deadzone of 15%, hidden for now. We'll expose it, will be available next week

[Mew @MewSoul]

@Draacoun Sorry I'm not sure what you mean? The controller support is in this pre-release, so yeah it will end up in the update 5

if you are a gameplay programmer, reach out to me!

Pugstorm is always looking for kickass people to join the team & work on games like Kyora and Core Keeper 🫶

[Mew @MewSoul]

@Its_Insidisus Hey, this happens in 3rd person, right? If yes, then yeah, there's an issue, will fix it for the next pre-release!

Emotes are coming to Hytale with this week's pre-release update, including easy mod support!

Here's the mod structure to add emotes to the game:
- Place your emote animation (.blockyanim) in Common\Characters\Animations\Emote\
- Place your emote icon (.png) in Common\Icons\Emotes\
- Create your emote config (.json) in Server\Emote\ (replace "MyEmoteName" with the name of your new emote)

An emote config looks like the following:
{
"Animation": "Characters/Animations/Emote/MyEmoteName.blockyanim",
"Name": "My Emote Name",
"Icon": "Icons/Emotes/MyEmoteName.png",
"IsLooping": true
}

With that done, you'll now be able to see your emotes in-game!

In the future, we'll improve the emote wheel so you can customize it.

Pour ce qui est de la communauté, Godot a eu un gain de popularité ces dernières années. On peut le voir notamment lors de la dernière GMTK Game Jam: https://t.co/FuFnDgyQsh Y'a quelques années la crainte de pas avoir assez de ressources aurait été complètement justifiée en effet, aujourd'hui ça va beaucoup mieux et le sera encore davantage dans le futur.

Aussi Unity s'est un peu tiré dans le pied avec certaines takes (fees, genAI, etc...), pour ça que pas mal de gens ont quitté Unity pour Godot (genre Mega Crit pour Slay the Spire 2 - https://t.co/D0ImeNWvRR).

D'ailleurs, les game jams sont un très bon moyen d'apprendre un engine/gamedev aussi ! Et faire des mods également - j'ai commencé comme ça avec Minecraft pour Epicube !

@NakaStream Tellement nostalgique de ce Tales Of ! C'est le genre de jeu où je me demande s'il a bien vieilli 20 ans après mon premier playthrough. Hâte de regarder la vidéo ce week-end !

@NakaStream Prends le temps qu'il faut, bon courage !
