Gamepad support

[ITN]

Just downloaded the game from steam and I can't seem to get my Xbox360 gamepad working. I can map buttons and axis' on the launchers "input" tab but in-game the cursor doesn't move and the buttons do nothing. I like to launch games with steam big picture and play on my 106' screen so any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks.

There's not really any way to play this game using a gamepad, it's meant to be controlled entirely via mouse control.

Thanks for the reply. This is pretty disappointing since many modern adventure games support 360 pad natively with correct button icons and everything. I guess I will have to look into mapping mouse actions to the pad with external software.

One more question, what is the purpose of the input tab where you can map keys if they don't do anything in-game?

That one's sort of a forced-on Unity feature. One that we are considering putting to use in future projects, but doesn't currently affect anything in our point-and-click games.

OK thanks for the info. I managed to map mouse and a few keyboard presses to the pad with an external app and it seems to be perfectly playable this way. You should seriously consider allowing this in the game itself if the engine already has support for it anyway.
