No, we are not planning to add controller support at the moment.

Well that’s too bad, because you know that not everyone only uses keyboard/mouse to play games on pc. For instance I am not able to as I am unable to for gaming, and on pc if I need or have to use a keyboard I use a Logitech keyboard that has a touchpad on it. Also to go on the internet as I am now I either use my tablet to my phone.
Well as usual with many games on pc I will pass on this game, and that’s unfortunate for me because this game looks different and more fun than most other job sim game.
Oh well…

Hi,
I’m sorry the answer is disappointing. I’m the developer, the only programmer on the team, and while I’ve added several accessibility features such as photosensitivity options, phonophobia support, save-anytime functionality, mouse sensitivity settings, remapped keys and ultrawide monitor support, my time is extremely limited. I have to balance adding more accessibility features with creating new content for the game. :(

If the game didn’t have so many interface UI, I would have added controller support a long time ago. I’m not saying it will never happen, but for now it’s simply out of scope.

Well that's your somewhat rude opinion, and some like myself can only play games with a controller. I was able to get the demo to work with the Steam Input thing with the controls in the game on my xbox controller.

I’m also disappointed to hear there are no plans for controller support. I prefer to play on big picture mode on my tv and also looking forward to the steam machine. Hopefully sometime in the future

i get chronic pain in my fingers from nerve damage so that's very narrow minded of you to suggest only fps games need controller support because for some its not a preference its we have no choice.

it works in the demo u can use it

This game needs controller support 100%. The amount of sales missed from not having it will be staggering.

Just loaded the demo to stream on twitch... no controller support... Damn... Back TCG Card Shop Simulator then. Dev you're seriously going to miss out.

[dog_force21]

Seriously there was like 4 games I was going to buy this month already that I'm not going to because of lack of controller support 🙄

Look I get it controller support should always be an option with any game but I understand melts response with the FPS comment unlike some of you obviously....Its a slow moving simulation style of game and takes no effort at all to learn it on a key/mouse compared to if like melt said it was a FPS game where key/mouse could be challenging to some who are more comfortable on a controller. Hey maybe it could get added sometime after release and maybe it don't bottom line is there's no controller support at launch , Threatening dev's that you ain't buying there game or that they will lose sales because there is no controller support is hilarious.

i don't thinkmit's threatening devs, i think it's correctly suggesting that a portion of gamers want/need controller support, and as so much of this game is just point and click, i don't think it's a big ask

Its not always about learning mouse/KB over a controller but about people with disabilities as well that need controller support to be able to map their custom hardware to play games.
After getting hit by a car back in 2016 I unfortunately get a lot of pain with mouse/KB for longer gaming session and I would say that I am bound to a controller if I want to play for more than 2 hours at a time, even 2 hours is painful.
I do really like the idea of this game but I can't buy it without controller support unfortunately.
