But IMV Studio, what about controller support?
This question has been at the forefront of our community discussions recently, and we're excited to update you on our progress! Controller support for Seven Cities is on its way, with 70% of the integration already completed.
We've been implementing Unity's new input system, allowing for seamless switching between different types of controllers. The integration of this system along with existing keymapping is a crucial step towards full controller support.
Our target is to enable controller gameplay by July. While we might finish earlier, our current focus is on refining the UI—essential for ensuring a smooth, intuitive action-RPG experience.
Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you for your patience and enthusiasm!
Special Thanks to Aaron in This Update
Developing Seven Cities, our first game, has been a rollercoaster of highs and lows over the past four years. In this industry, the kindness and support we've received from Aaron stand out as extraordinarily impactful.
His contributions have provided us with a game-changing boost that has significantly advanced our progress. While words can hardly do justice, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Aaron for his remarkable support.
Aaron, you’ve made a real difference, and we are incredibly grateful!

The Full Patch Note
Weapon Specialization
We've completely reworked the weapon specialization panel in Seven Cities. Now, weapons within the same category share a common specialization tree, streamlining gameplay and enhancing your strategic options. For instance, all rifles utilize the same rifle spec, both shotguns share a shotgun spec, and melee weapons like the baseball bat and axe now share specifications.
This significant update not only simplifies the system but also sets the stage for expanding our weapon variety more efficiently. With this new structure, adding diverse weapons like new axes or bats that utilize existing specs becomes seamless, enriching your arsenal choices and combat strategies.
