Started Controller support. I'm moving every UI to Common UI to help with this. I'm a little worried about the spatial inventory lol
I'm excited to continue this to give a wider variety of gamers access to my game

Playing a game rather then making one. Playing games can be HUGE for making your game better!
Today I looked at Baldur's Gate 3 to break down good feeling mechanics!

Sometimes taking a step away for a little and coming back can be great. I just went back to a old issue I had months ago with map generation and found out I just had a Boolean mixed up.
Do I feel dumb? Yes.
Does it now work? Yes lol

I do my game in my free time. Sometimes I get a little upset as I don't feel like the game is progressing and I'm not doing enough. Looking back though from October 25th to the the first of this month this is the list of things I got done. I think that's pretty good!

I love the way this dialogue system has turned out.
I added some sounds and cool cinematic bars.
Definitely makes it feel so much better

In this dev short I get majority of the last stand system set up. This lets the player sacrifice a ally so they may keep going. We do what we must to conquer Desperation!

The companion select is done! by far the largest piece of art I've done and besides the inventory the most complicated. The player can select a character, see all their info, manage their inventory and add them to their team!
