Emberville Demo Alpha 0.20.18.x Patch Notes Fix Controller and Crafting Bugs

The latest Emberville demo patch resolves controller navigation bugs, fixes combat and crafting issues, and adds experimental keyboard menu support.

CygnusCross released a demo update for Emberville, bringing version Demo Alpha 0.20.18.x. This patch targets persistent controller bugs, inventory exploits, and audio dropouts while introducing experimental keyboard-only menu navigation.

Controller and Menu Fixes

Shoulder buttons function correctly in menus, and the controller radial menu no longer opens at unintended moments. A bug that locked out controller input in the main menu after creating a new character is resolved, and UI navigation issues are corrected. The update also fixes main menu music playback and adds new icons for all Armor Masteries.

Gameplay and Crafting Corrections

Attack rate calculations are fixed, and players can use the action button to collect crafted items directly from the crafting menu. Items can no longer be consumed during dialogue interactions. Developers removed a boss corpse collider in the boss nest as a temporary solution to prevent players from getting stuck, and fixed a rare world creation failure.

Experimental Features and Language Fixes

Localization errors and translated text strings are corrected across multiple languages. Experimental support for keyboard-only menu navigation is live, though developers note this feature may still contain bugs.

Why this patch matters

This demo update addresses input and progression blockers, making controller play and menu navigation reliable while laying groundwork for community-requested control options.
