Update v0.9.10 - Controller support!

Took some time but finally was able to get controller support into the game! The game will support Xbox, PS5 controllers and Steam Deck, and potentially others as well but without the proper glyphs. Text input (for things like map markers, co-op game name/password) with an onscreen keyboard will be there for Steam Deck but not other controllers unfortunately, this will come in a further update. Lastly, only third person mode will be available when using controllers, supporting top-down mode may come later depending on player feedback. Features:

Controller support - restricted to third person mode for now. It's still a bit experimental so please let me know if you run into any issues with UI navigation and whatnot. Also note that the input system within Unity was updated to better support controller input, so things like mousewheel scrolling may behave a bit differently to what it was before
New radial menu to better support controller menu handling. This replaces the old "quick action menu" system that wasn't that great to use. All menus are accessible with options for equipping items and belt quick access. This radial menu is new and feedback is greatly appreciated around any additions or changes you'd like to see

Additions:

Added iron shovel tip that can be combined with wooden shovels to created iron-tipped shovels that are much more durable
Added wheelbarrow wheel and hand cart wheel break-down recipes. Nails are lost in this process due to no ability to track which nails were used to construct items. This will be remedied in future updates
Added glyphs for keyboard and mouse inputs (along with controller glyphs) for better looking input hints ingame
Reworked the inventory sorting buttons to now sort by size first (largest to smallest), then by item name (alphabetical, to group similar items together), then by item quantity (largest to smallest)

Balance:

Increased wheelbarrow inventory size - you will need to dismantle and recreate your existing wheelbarrows to see the change

Fixes:

Fixed lighting reflectiveness disappearing from non-sun light sources like fires when it is cloudy
Fixed hand cart wheel rim hand placement when carried
In co-op games, fixed dying while sleeping due to Blight infection breaking player character corpse collision, not allowing retrieval of previously held items
In co-op games, fixed rare issue of dead players not being able to join again if the game was saved/reloaded while they were dead and before they respawned
Fixed footprints appearing gigantic
Fixed wheelbarrow map icon showing as a player icon

Blight is an extremely challenging and realistic single-player top-down perspective survival game.

The Blight
A mysterious new disease called the Blight has descended upon the land. You have managed to escape its devastating effects as it has consumed your village and left it to ruins - You now find yourself alone in the wilderness, tired and hungry. You've bought yourself some time, but for how long? The Blight grows larger every day, consuming everything in sight...

Realism
The game strives on providing a punishingly realistic and immersive experience with a ton of depth. Actions like chopping trees and cooking food take a lot of precious time. You can only carry a few things at a time. You need to boil water to make sure it's safe to drink. Water and other liquids need to be carried in bowls and other containers, and will spill out if not transported securely. You will need to scavenge numerous raw materials, many of which will need to be processed, combined, treated or hardened to make tools, items and structures.

Challenge
The Blight is just one of many threats to your existence in the unforgiving wilderness. After quickly setting up camp you will constantly need to keep yourself well fed and hydrated, replenish lost energy with sleep and short rests, defend yourself from the wild beasts that still inhabit the woods, heal your wounds, protect yourself from the harsh elements, and figure out a way to somehow end this terrible disease. Almost everything in the procedurally generated world can and will kill you if you aren't careful.

There are whispers of Druids in a far off land that may know more about the Blight...
