Morningstar Act III update

Added 2024-02-17 07:34:23 +0000 UTC

I picked up a Steam Deck (for research, honest!) this week, and have spent some time playing Love of Magic / Morningstar (and Sinners Landing / Paradise Lust) on it.

By and large it plays okay; there's a couple of small things that need touching up, like the input systems, but those are solvable. It did, however, become clear that the game would play a lot nicer if it was tweaked to be entirely playable using the gamepad.

I'm about 80% through that task (except the handphone, which... will have to wait), now it's just a matter of playing whack-a-mole with the remaining UI bugs.

I'll do a rough pass through it, and then get back to writing new content. I've got 3 more small Act III side-content event to trigger before the Act is content complete, at which point all that's left is bug-fixing. I'm hoping to have it ready by next week.

Do you play games on a gamepad? Is that better or worse for these kinds of games? Let me know in the comments.!
