Time for some Hytale gameplay/accessibility news, gamepad support drops in pre-release tomorrow! This is the first iteration, we know some things are a bit finicky with it, but it's in a good enough place that we feel okay releasing this to the public! It supports most of the existing controllers (if not all - we rely on SDL3, but I know some of you will have some obscure controllers :p). Hytale features a lot of different keybinds, it was quite a challenge to try to fit most of them on a controller. We came up with an initial layout that we believe covers the most critical aspects of the game. But if you find something that suits you better, you'll be able to rebind controller input actions to what suits you best! As we move to Noesis for the in-game UI, the UI navigation by controller will improve. We had to implement a custom navigation for our current framework UI since it didn't support controller navigation at all. We'll improve it over time, and we'll rely on your feedback as well (you can use the in-game report for that)!
