I just wanted to make it known that SS14 will be cross-platform (Windows,Mac,Linux, maybe Android). Due to the fact that most Linux distros come packaged with the OpenJDK. That is something I will be testing with in the future for the Linux build. The Oracle JDK distro is what is currently used and preferred on Windows.
Also, that handy little Xbox 360, or any game controller that can be used with PC, will be available in SS14 to use for movement, maybe User Interface input like conversations and dialog boxes. Eventually, I would also like to add Touch input for movement for tablets or a Windows 8 PC that supports it. By touching a point you tell your character you want to move there and it calculates a path. Same thing will be accomplished using the mouse pointer. Game controllers, like Xbox 360 game pad, will have to use the joystick for movement.
That's all for now. Carry on.

But let's see how it'll work out. Going to android would be nice but also kinda hard to play on it. With tablets I think thats not that much of a problem with a solution like pathing.
