Greetings, adventurers!

This regular update is arriving a little earlier than usual because of my vacation. It mainly focuses on the first stages of gamepad support, which is still in an early phase of development, and on a new context menu designed to make managing items in the inventory, equipment, quick slots, and chests much more convenient.

Quite a lot has changed this time, so I just hope I haven't broken too many other things along the way. 😄😄

What's new

  • Added an early version of gamepad support, including a virtual cursor and UI controls.

  • Added a new item context menu.

  • The menu now offers actions depending on the item type: Eat, Drink, Use, Equip, Split, Drop.

  • Added faster item transfers between the inventory, equipment, quick slots, and chests.

  • Quick slots now allow you to select a specific slot from 1–7 and safely swap occupied items.

  • Added equipment comparison directly to the tooltip.

  • Improved throwable item behavior and stack filling.

  • Fixed durability for items stored in chests.

  • Added several additional UI fixes and safeguards against accidentally moving or losing items.

Both gamepad support and the context menu are still in an early stage, so some parts of the controls will still need further adjustments and polishing.

I wanted to release this version before my vacation so you can try it out and send me your feedback. Once I'm back, I can immediately continue making improvements based on your testing and suggestions.

Thank you all for playing, testing, and sharing your feedback!
