Good news! Even if you couldn’t make it to #GodotFest this year, all the recorded talks are now gradually being uploaded to our YouTube channel.
If you’d like to support the speakers (and us!) in reaching a wider audience, a like and sub would be awesome!

Gameplay (1/2) – for intuitive 1 hand controls, we added a hidden virtual joystick to move the character, activated by touching anywhere. the touch drags its joystick base with it, something that's super intuitive on touch.
(explainer video: white is the joystick base, blue the touch position)
