Improved Joystick Movement

The Rusty Sword: Vanguard Island
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

Today's update contains a couple of small modifications to joystick (not Dpad) movement that make a big difference.

The first is radial axis checking for character movement. This makes is easier to maintain up/down/left/right movement without accidentally moving diagonally,  allowing for much more natural character movement.

The second is a larger dead zone for the center of the joystick. This makes it less of chance to accidentally move the wrong way when navigating menus that allow movement on both axes, such as the Inventory or Settings menus. It also helps with controllers that have worn joysticks.
