v0.2.1 More remap polish

Convergence Compulsion
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Hi! It's Thursday again, and so I've uploaded some more changes for Convergence Compulsion! They all relate to the controller remapping experience, so let's list them off:

  • The CONTROLS menu now shows prompts that line-up with popular controllers including:
    • Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers
    • PS3 and PS4 controllers
    • Nintendo Switch Controllers
    • and, because I had it on hand, the Nintendo Switch Wired Fight Pad Pro
  • The game now has a command-line flag --controls which will cause the game to begin on the controls menu instead of the title menu. While this should work on all desktop platforms, in practice, it seems that this only works on Windows. I'm looking into the issue currently, and hope to be able to provide this accessibility feature on all platforms.
  • In addition to the command-line flag, the Windows version is packaged with controls-first.bat which is a quick way of starting the game with --controls specified. I didn't package similar with Mac and Linux due to the issue noted previously and some other technical problems. I hope to fix that soon.Yesterday, I started on the main thing for this coming week: Google Play platform support. Pretty much that means leaderboards and achievements and working on the store page. If you would like to be part of the Play Store beta test, comment here or reach out in some other way, like the Discord. Have a great week, and thanks for playing!

UPDATE: I found the cause of the issue and fixed it for both Mac and Linux, so both will come with a controls-first.sh next week.
