Traintracks Combat Patch 08/06/2024

Hello! Today we have an important change for Traintracks Combat that will make the game more accessible to new players, particularly non-fighting game players.

• A "Special Move" button has been added (Right Trigger by default). This allows the user to perform special moves with simple inputs, using single directions instead of more complicated motions. Almost every special move is accessible via the Special Move button.
• Moves lists and UI have been updated to reflect the new Special Move inputs. Simple inputs are shown in parentheses next to the original motion input.
• The input for Barnacle Bill Roddy's Peg Leg has been changed from Quarter circle forward M to Forward + H. 

These changes will allow the game to be more user-friendly to new players who may be trying fighting games for the first time. Traintracks Combat does not feature a tutorial and isn't designed to Teach fighting games, but that doesn't mean newcomers should be left to the wolves.  The motion inputs are still available for those who wish to use them.

In other news, Traintracks Combat has been featured on the itch.io front page for a few weeks now! (thanks itch!) To all new players, thanks for checking out my game, and I hope this new patch makes the game more enjoyable for you. 

Also, if you're located in Chicago, we are still playing the game regularly at FGC Meetups at Ignite gaming lounge. Come check us out!  There may be more news about Chicago Traintracks Combat events soon... Join the Traintracks Combat Discord and get the @Chicago-Events role for future updates.

Thanks everyone!
