Ooo, twin stick option sounds nice. How do you feel about the gamepad support at this point? Would you say it’s playable with a gamepad, or would a gamepad be more of an accessory you use alongside M/KB?
I played the first game primarily with a gamepad, can’t WAIT to try this twin-stick option.
With the twin stick option, dpad moving between all of the ui elements, and the virtual keyboard, you can now completely play with just a controller. I still have a few things to smooth out like making the direction the dpad moves to next ui element a little more consistent and making it easier to pick up components.
Awesome. Click-to-move control schemes are one of my major complaints with so many ARPGs, the genere begs for WASD/gamepad in my personal opinion which is one of the things that drew me to the first Drox Operative initially. Twin stick is even better, really looking forward to playing it that way once you hit 1.0 (I’m trying to hold off playing too much more in EA because I already sunk a lot of hours into a game that’s improving significantly week by week!).
Version 0.819 is out: changes.
This patch adds more planet bonus icons, fixes quest xp, makes it easier to meet power load component requirements, makes it easier to get crew, and fixes several other more minor issues.
Another week, another round of solid improvements. Nice!
After 4 months of Drox Operative 2 early access, I’ve posted another update talking about all of the changes from the last month.
Good work, nice to see improvements on the controller and high DPI support. Is anyone playing with controller on 4K screen?
Looking forward to picking this up once it’s done.
I still think the skills need some rework- I’d make some of the higher end stuff more fun/cooler, and I’d perhaps have Drox Quests and victories give 1 bonus skill point.

The planets screen should actually get better and better as I slowly add more functionality to it. :)
