Just got this and I love it, but my fightstick's directions aren't being recognized. I suppose it's related to KhakiMage's comment on the D-Pad, as it's definitely emulating a d-pad. Would love to get a fix!

I've been looking into a more permanent fix for ps5 controllers, but for now, If your stick has a way to switch between the stick sending either left stick or dpad inputs, I'd try switching between them, if that doesn't work (I don't think it will if it's a ps5 controller issue), try switching your stick between dinput and xinput modes. If that also doesn't work, try running the game through steam as a non-steam game, with their controller compatibility settings turned on. Let me know if any of these solve your issue!

Running it through Steam did the trick! Thank you so very much, love all the designs so far!

Great game! btw I'm sure it's a niche thing but the game doesn't recognize the d-pad on my Dualsense controller. I can play using the left analog stick but it's hard to do (and the game is already plenty hard!)

Mac version when?

Please change the font in the tutorials it's barely legible 

What if I made it even more unreadable?  >:)  Would you be mad?

just kidding :P the tutorial is already getting an overhaul for the next update (1.0) you'll just have to wait a while for me to finish writing story mode lol

(+2)

The tutorial font is now more readable :O

monochromatic software coming in clutch once more

I adore this game. I think my only wishlist item would be a 4-player option to use with Team Mode. Aren't nearly enough 2v2 fighters out there that give the option for pair play.

Would worship if had a demo version. It's making me jealous watching everyone play!

wish i could buy it, i would buy it again if you launch on steam, seriously tho, this has more content than most AAA fighting games, until there, i will keep trying to make my paypal work

i got the game after all, realy good, but it need better tutorials, i know that UI and UX are realy hard thinks to do and i wish this game had a 30 hour campaign teaching every com piece of the game, but this is just impossible, so please break the tutorial in blocks more specific than offense and defense, specialy because of how complex these concepts are, if possible make more like novriltataki guilty gear crash course, if its not possibl, thats fine, your game is great and i would buy it again on steam, just so i can play online thru steam, i think, idk how steam works, either way i would buy it again for the sake of it

thx

Is online multiplayer a planned feature, or is it available through parsec?

(+3)

I don't want to make any promises I can't keep, but I'm looking into it. For now you can use parsec. ;)

Very fun, I like oversized hoodie girl

Will the game release on steam?

Maybe, but it would be more like a +R or Version 2.0 so it's worth rebuying

Ok, I'm buying here the game in a few days

fun as hell :)
