Controller support?

[swervinirvin11]

Is there going to be no controller support for this?

It can be an emotive topic. For many, being able to use a controller is more than just having it as a control mechanism. Trackpads and emulated mouse movements don't address issues that people may have with accessibility issues. In such cases, using a trackpad or stick to move a mouse around the screen is just a no-no.

Also, fundamentally these mechanisms don't help with making the UI show controller buttons instead of keyboard button images, so it's not an acceptable solution. At best, it's a workaround albeit, in many cases, a poor one.

There are dozens, if not hundreds or thousands, of games that have implemented controllers fully so it's possible regardless of the game genre and not doing so ignores a large section of the gaming community that simply will not buy a game without proper controller support.

I'm currently using a controller to play Pax Dei.

Just use the Steam controller support to reconfigure any buttons. Works beautifully!!!

Not everyone wants to play the inventory management game with an emulated mouse on your analogs. Im def one of them.

Oh dear Gawd no!

I just use the controller for the character. The Steam config allows me to easily map everything I need for the hot bar and spells, weapons, tools, movement, blah blah).

I navigate all the menus (crafting,ect) with the mouse.

Congrats. If I could use a mouse without cripping pain, id do the same.

Currently, it only works partially, but it is planned to have a full controller support at a point, yes. :)

How much of a Priority is this? As someone who NEEDS gamepad support for a game like this, I am eager to play with friends who play, but until the UI/UX is redesigned with controller button prompts and not just emulated controls I can't/won't justify a purchase for a game I will be fighting every step of the way to enjoy.
