Summary (AI)

Insider Trading version 1.2 introduces full controller support, allowing gameplay without mouse input and improved navigation using the d-pad or left joystick. The update includes hotkeys for quick access to common buttons and options to customize button layouts via Steam. UI adjustments were made to improve text visibility, especially on Steam Deck. Two balance changes were added: skipping perks now refunds half their cost, and skipping a pill gift grants 10 tokens instead. Several minor bugs were fixed, including issues with card descriptions, sound slider input, and discard mode behavior.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Hey guys,
I've been working on controller support for the past couple weeks, and the game's come to a state where it can be played fully through a pad without the mouse having to be involved.
This means sliding your trackpad on the Steam Deck is no longer necessary to emulate a cursor (although you could do that if you prefer to), and instead everything could be navigated around with the d-pad and a/b/x/y buttons.
While thorough testing has been done in a couple controllers, I am much more of a keyboard/mouse person that is unfamiliar with using controllers, so there may be odd interactions you may come across depending on your machine, settings, or just with general setup, that I may have overlooked.
If this is the case, as always, let me know in the Discord or comments below and I'll try to go over them.
All buttons could now be navigate by using a d-pad, or your left joystick.
Hotkeys have been set out for commonly used buttons, which will immediately grab focus on the designated button when pressed.
When booting the game from Steam, it should natively set the game up with default controls, but if by any chance the controller doesn't seem to be working, you may need to load a Button Layout manually by pressing the controller icon on Steam.
You could customize the button layout here in this tab as well, if necessary.
-Choosing to skip the offered perks after buying it, now refunds half the cost.
Generally, this change will make the lower difficulties a little easier, while not having much affect on higher difficulties that forces tight token management.
Being gifted a White Powder when you weren't in a need of it felt terrible.Having the option to pick up tokens instead would merit a wider range of runs and strategies.
And that's it.
I wished to go over controller support before moving on to touch further on the game's contents.I hope this could make the game a bit more accessible to wider range of setups.
Thanks as always, and I hope to see you again soon!
