Update (new patch 1.9.2): I've gotten some good feedback, and I've figured out why the d-pad doesn't work on some (most?) controllers. It's... a clumsy mistake on my part. Literally two lines of code was all it took to fix it. Whoops.
To explain, there are three types of gamepad functions in GM8: Buttons, axes (joysticks) and povs (d-pad). The axes and povs are hardcoded to movement and navigation, and somehow I forgot to add pov functionality to up/ down movement.
Patch 1.9.2 fixes that, adds the option to disable built-in gamepad support (incase you want to use external remapping software) and improves viewport scaling functionality.
I've redesigned some of the early game enemies, which means the game no longer has "borrowed" graphical assets. I'll release a demo with these changes and more next week.
After many monotonous & tedious hours, I've converted the game to 60 fps! This version (1.7.0) also includes some minor physics improvements and bugfixes. Enjoy!
The world map's layout is now 100% done! Besides that I'm working on a new update that'll add more options to the game like rebinding keys.

New patch 1.9.0 includes an options menu allowing you to change controls, lower the difficulty and more! I've also added enemy healthbars, an extra keybind, improvements to controls and other minor fixes.

New demo v0.9 adds gamepad support, among other things! This village, which has been unavailable since the first release, is now also explorable.
Good news: I recently discovered a project called GM8.2 Core that fixes a lot of issues with old Game Maker, which my games are based on. This means that I'm finally able to add gamepad support(!), along with other neat stuff.
Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!
Happy Zelda month! Here's a short preview of the Shrink spell! As you can see, it's not very well suited for combat...
