Gamepad support thread

[Wicca-san]

Starting this so people can show the devs how much we would like, appreciate, and in some cases require gamepad support down the line. (And potentially offer to test said support in order to help the devs)

I have to admit the reason I enjoyed Songs of Conquest so much was due to their excellent controller support, and they're a small team without the backing of a company like Ubisoft.

Gamepad, controller, mac, and all the others will be considered to be added after EA. Right now polishing comes first, but it's likely these will be a thing at some point during EA!

[SlipSlot]

Great to hear, certainly not a priority for EA I'd agree.

Controller support would be very welcome and I would add a request that Olden Era be Deck Verified. At the very least, make the graphics scalable for the 1280×800 screen and the text readable on said screen.
Speaking for myself, I'm fighting a losing battle against glasses and small text is sometimes a PIA. :)

Controller please.
95% games I play on PC pairing with a controller. My hands literally hurts for keeping them on a mouse for some time now these days. Haven’t used a mouse for too long. A game like HOMM which takes hours to play a round or two, is definitely not a good idea to play with M&K to me.

If EA doesn’t support controllers, I am afraid I can’t buy it on EA stage. But definitely add it afterwards like Disciples: Liberation has done.

To quote one of our co-workers from Discord, Helga:

"Technically, we've already run the game on Steamdeck and it works fine. But for a full release we will need to work on the interface. So more on that later."

I hope that the idea of ​​gamepad / Steam Deck support will not be abandoned.

I really love HoMM since childhood, but in recent years I have only played on consoles and Steam Deck. So I really hope for gamepad controls.

Gamepad support is an absolute must!!! Please add it in the 1.0!

[Hexton]

Controller support would be great. Will wish list for now

I'm also in favor of controller support. Preferably in Early Access. Think of the ROG and Steam Deck users^^ It would be fantastic to play this game on the go. I'm a huge fan of the series. For me, the 5th installment was the best.

YES, please consider adding controller support! I can't play with a mouse due to wrist pain and would love to experience HOMM again with a controller
