Controller support?
The game looks amazing with so many streamlined QoL improvements.
Will there be any focus on controller support?

Mouse and keyboard will always better, but i'd love to be able to remote play this on my Steam Deck and actually be able to properly play.
Barely have time to sit at my pc nowadays so this would be a huge plus for me.

Yes... but presumably, that will happen around the same time as console support, which is a way down the roadmap.

Controller input m8t be available in the first release, although if NOT U can always google an emulator 2 convert controller inputs as key inputs instead (although U still may need 2 use UR mouse and/or keyboard sadly enough 4 stuff in menus). :3

Yeah the steam deck lets you natively remap all buttons to keyboard or mouse buttons so it could work, but it's generally not worth the hassle as it may remain frustrating to control that way.

Usually when controller support is added, there will be on screen button prompts to match it and it might have more intuïtive UI options for it which can really make a game playable.

Personally, I prefer VR support. ^w^
Space walks would be 10x better, the gameplay n visualls would be 10x mar enjoyable as it gives U dat false sense of reality. >:3

Although VR is NOT 4 everyone especially ones with motion sickness or fear of heights. XwX
