Interesting. I had a version of the game with controller support but I went with keyboard and mouse(or so I thought) because I was having issues with capturing the right input. It looks like the character controls still work on the gamepad though not the camera orbit with the right stick. Thanks for pointing this out. I will fix it in the post jam version.
Yeah, it's a little different doing look with gamepad vs mouse. When you're doing the mouse, you get the difference every frame, so you have to zero it out. With a gamepad joystick, you have to not zero it out, so you can get it to work. I can link you a code example if you're interested.
Here's the repo I use to track mouse and controller input. https://github.com/dragonforge-dev/dragonforge-controller Check out the Mouse.gd and Gamepad.gd scripts. They both update Controller.look. Then in my camera mount (which you could just use this with a SpringArm3D, Camera3D and the two Pivot nodes (which are just Node3D and are separate from the SpringArm and Camera to avoid Gimbal Lock.)

@export var upwards_rotation_limit: float = 0.0
## How far down the camera will rotate in degrees.
@export var downwards_rotation_limit: float = 0.0
## If true, camera is a first-person camera. Otherwise, third-person.
@export var first_person: bool = false

Sorry the code quality is crap. Feel free to post questions on the Godot forums and tag me (@dragonforge-dev).
