We're excited to announce that Forge Industry will launch with Steam Deck support! Personally the entire team loves their Steam deck, so it was a big requirement for us to be able to enjoy our game on the go.
There were definitely some challenges with getting a more complex UI like ours usable using a controller. The camera and cursor are controlled with the joysticks, or you can use the trackpads for more precise control as well. And of course you can also use the touchscreen interface if you want to interact with something, similar to a mobile game.
Our aim is to give you as much enjoyment as possible, whether you're playing from the comfort of your home, or on the go.
Oh, and in case you're not entirely convinced about how the controls work, you can play a demo of our game for free during Steam Next Fest, so you can test firsthand!
