Shadow Knights Development Update: Controller Support, Save Game Feature, and WinMerge Translation Work

November 2, 2025

Development on Shadow Knights continues to move forward. I've improved game controller support - you can now choose between joystick and gamepad - and added mappings for more buttons. You can now heal yourself and activate the panic button directly from your controller for smoother gameplay.

I've also added a basic save game feature that automatically saves your progress after each completed level. To showcase these updates, I've put together a short YouTube video demonstrating the new features in action.

In other news, over the weekend I updated and completed the German translation of WinMerge, an open-source differencing and merging tool I use frequently. The translation hadn't been maintained for over two years and contained 288 untranslated strings, so I brought it up to date using Poedit. My translation work will be included in the next release version (v2.16.52.2), which is expected to be released at the end of November.
