Furthermore, we've received a nomination for Best Game from BAFTA Scotland.
And we're very proud to have won the Gold Prize at the Games Without Borders Awards 2020. Yay! This is the first award ever for ION LANDS.
Other nominations include the TIGA Games Industry Awards, where we received 2 nominations in the categories "Creativity in Games" and "Action and Adventure Game". We're also a finalist at IndieX.
We're very happy about all this recognition, it's very motivating.
Oh, and there's also a small patch coming with controller improvements. After receiving complaints that the PS4 controller and Steam controller did not work properly, we did some investigations and have found the root of the problem causing controller keys not getting mapped correctly.
If you own a PS4 Controller, you will have to enable "PS4 configuration support" in your Steam settings.
Xbox controllers for windows should work without any extra support, but if you have native Xbox controllers, make sure to enable "Xbox configuration support" in your Steam settings.
Steam controllers are now working fine as well. If they don't work for you right away, we found the following steps helpful:
1) Run Steam as Administrator
2) Launch the game, the Steam controller should work fine.
3) Afterwards you can launch Steam normally and the Steam controller should still work properly.
4) If wireless mode doesn't work, try it wired and then wireless again.
We hope this helps and that you'll have a flawless gaming experience with your controller. We will look into wheel support as well.
Enjoy your time in Nivalis and come say "Hi" on our Discord Server.
