Gem Worlds v1.2.1 Released: Better Gamepad Support

11 Mar, 2023

Gem Worlds v1.2.1 ships today (demo and full version), which a bevvy of gamepad-related improvements and bugfixes. This should significantly improve the player experience if you use a gamepad, or if you play on Deck.

If you're on a gamepad and past the tutorial, you can always start a new game to see the tutorial dialog again. If not, the controls are pretty simple:

d-pad to move
bottom button (A in XBox controllers) to skip a turn
right button (B in XBox controllers) to cancel selection
trigger/shoulder buttons to switch between items and skills
start to get to options
R3 to toggle the UI

The full list of changes include:

The ability to pass turns via the gamepad
The tutorial level tells you gamepad controls if it detects a gamepad
Gamepad buttons can be rebound

The full list of bug-fixes includes:

Fix: you can now skip dialog with the gamepad
Fix: skill upgrade/navigation breaks with a gamepad
Fix: inconsistent navigation of items and skills via gamepad shoulder/trigger buttons
Fix: overwriting a save dialog works with gamepad
Fix: you can toggle the message console on/off with gamepad or with ~ (keyboard)
Fix: space/pass-turn is now rebindable
Fix: quitting during tutorial/dialogs no longer shows dialogs in the titlescreen
Fix: pausing during skill selection breaks the game

Special thanks to 3akev for his tireless and amazing, high-quality work to get all these fixes and changes pushed out (and in a matter of two days!)

I love this! It is like Boulder Dash, but fancier, and turn-based, which I consider major improvements. Maybe we can have Solomon's Key or Fire 'n Ice inspired games next? In any case, I am very much looking forward to this being released! Excellent work!...

Need More Reviews

20 Feb, 2023

Dear gamers,

At ten reviews, Steam no longer flags the game as shovelware/asset-flip, and opens the floodgates of traffic. This usually results in more sales, more happy players, and a bigger game community.

Gem Worlds reached seven reviews today, which is an amazing milestone for me. We're three reviews short. If you played the game for any duration at all, please leave a review, and let others know about the game! Feel free to be honest about your likes and dislikes.

If you want to reach me, I'm around on the forums, Discord, Twitter, etc. as usual.

P.S. please let me know how the experience is if you play Gem Worlds on Steam Deck; I don't own a Deck, so I can't test it myself.

Gem Worlds v1.2.0 released

13 Feb, 2023

Gem Worlds v1.2.0 ships later today (both the full game and the demo). This version includes gamepad and keyboard support everywhere - in game, options, and menus - as well as some fixes:

Fix: in rare cases, a room-based level may have inaccessible areas
Fix: level selection menu correctly appears post-game

Please note that the controls rebinding menu shows all controls (keyboard and gamepad), but rebinding gamepad controls currently doesn't work (and I can't figure out why). If this is an issue for you, please contact me and let me know.

I played an earlier version and will be comparing my experience to that. 1. I noticed overall improvements to graphics, sounds and interactions. 2. I did not realize that I could use the mouse to click on and use items. It seems obvious, but it took me a while to figure it out. 3. I really like how sometimes there are seemingly random chain reactions that happen. If I shoot a piece of dirt, it can cause a bomb to fall, triggering an explosion etc... I feel like this could be made to effect game-play ...

Demo Expectations and Bug Reporting

Hello all! It's exciting to finally get the demo into your collective hands! While I spent lots of time testing and fixing bugs, you may still run into bugs or issues here and there. If you do, please let me know, so I can fix it! Specifically, it would help to know: - The level you're on and the skills you have equipped - What kind of stuff was around you (e.g. standing under two boulders stacked up) - What you did (e.g. hammer a boulder) - What happened (e.g. boulder remained in place) - What you expe...
