Update from the Team

Happy New Years River Dwellers

We hope that everyone is have a great start to their new year! In this months update we want to call out that we are moving towards controller focused design. Since Clover will be primarily designed to be played with a controller we are updating the input layout. For keyboard players we will add in support to remap controls, but that will be a later update. We apologize for any issues this causes as we transition to various controller supports.

Also `Paina&Suffering` really hates that `Fortunes` decided to use the waking up animation for the crouch frame. They have added it to the list of artwork that needs to be done as it makes them really sad. In their words, "The animation makes them viscerally upset like the norovirus they had just gotten over."

Take care and keep being awesome!
