Joypad

An experimental experience wherein you touch your gamepad.

Yes i really, seriously started this project from scratch on the 27th of February after scrapping an attempt to make it in SDL and Zig, feeling pretty bummed about it, and waking up the next morning suddenly very resolved to not give up on submitting some version of this idea if at all possible. I learned a good amount about how to make it from that failed attempt, though, and both architected the scene structure and wrote the ~900 LOC that make up the code side of this project in those final two days. I had other types of interactions in mind, some of which were partially implemented in the Zig project, but slashed everything besides sticks and triggers due to the tight timeframe. If i add additional features such as button-based interactions and memory of past sessions, it will come after judging.

The whole thing takes only a few minutes to play out. Contains no NSFW imagery whatsoever, but it is of course suggestive.

If you find you need it, DS4Windows can be found here.

The "1STRELEASE" version was the last submitted within the jam window. The "(date)-b#" versions released within the judging window will contain fixes and possibly small tweaks to the experience, but no additional features or significant changes.
