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.
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.
Version 0.10.0 is now live! An options menu has been added, allowing you to change controls, lower difficulty, enable viewport scaling and more. I've also made some improvements to certain skills and minor balancing/ 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.

I've added new enemies to dungeons 6 and 7, so they're now 100% done besides some polishing and bg graphics. This enemy is based on a well-known franchise, can you guess which one?
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.
Long awaited weekends lay ahead of us☀
A perfect time to admire the views of Arkana! Build a cozy house on lake shore, cook your masterpiece of a dish, invite some friends to the table and together meet a picturesque sunset🌄
Version 1.6.0 is now live, adding gamepad support and other QoL improvements, including... slopes!
I actually ran into a ton of bugs implementing all this, but it was well worth it.
