+1 for rebindable controls

[MarshMelody]

some people here are being really childish about it (and evidently do not understand game development very much), though I would also much prefer if this game had rebindable controls. I personally cannot stand having to play a game of Twister on my keyboard (I cannot find a game that I would ever choose to use ctrl or alt as keys, that's not how your hands are placed on a keyboard, making these keys extremely uncomfortable). other than that, I can see myself enjoying the game a whole lot more if/when there's official rebinding, or if someone can find a roundabout way to edit them in the files or something.

my only complaint with this game is the non rebindable controls. my hand is cramping and hurting from playing it. i still like playing it and its a great game otherwise. but it was clearly only made with console in mind. most of my deaths so far have been from losing my finger placement or from my thumb or pinky hurting.

I too will add in my vote for rebindable contols. For keyboard, mouse, as well as controllers. Even when I use a controller, I like to reconfigure each game I play so that I don't need to adapt to a completely different button layout every time I switch between games.

[MarshMelody]

honestly, I disagree that it was only made with console in mind. my only problems control-wise (personally) are that it uses buttons like ctrl and alt (where I have to bend my hand back to press them, which makes even the first "boss fight" with your brother impossible for me as is). that's honestly a common error in loads of PC games imo (lots of first-person games have nonsensically tied crouch to ctrl, like my hand isn't right next to the c key). other than that, I think it's a gorgeous game that I will be checking out on controller once my PS5 controller chord stops giving me issues.

not saying that either of y'all have really ridiculous views on game development--where just because something like key rebinding is common means it is easy to add and therefore "tHe DeVs ArE sCuM wHo DoN't CaRe AbOuT uS!!1!"--but just a heads up to those dinguses: control rebinding is actually pretty difficult to add later in development, depending on your engine and how messy your code is because it's not something you add in during the prototyping stage (why add such things into a prototype you may very well toss out?). it's something you only start to consider once you've committed to the game's development, and by then it can become a "we'll add it in later" thing. take two seconds of a game development class or watch any game dev logs on YT and it's pretty understandable. I don't mind waiting for the game to have key rebinding implemented eventually (besides, I got it at a very good launch price on Humble), but I do hope that losers here will stop being nasty to the devs about it.

Some current options are AutoHotKey for KB/M rebinds, Steam's configuration tool for controllers.
Downside is prompts not reflecting the actual control.

i have dev in several games as well as gamejams. i understand the process as well as implementation of such thing. thought admittedly it is different for every group as there is no one way to dev a game. my one gripe to say its made for console in mind is the placement of keys and the lack of rebinding. the biggest flaw for keyboard is the fact they have placed way to much stress on the left hand. you have a mouse and many games use the mouse for multiple purposes. where in the game its to swing and that's all. but that's because it translated much more easier from the controller. i honestly dont have any hard feelings about this with the dev's or anything. does it suck? yes, but there is something that sucks in every game. but i will say this is the first game that has ever made my hand hurt from playing it which does say something. i wish they gave how they set up the keyboard a little more attention even if they had no intention of adding rebinding. if the controls were more balanced for the user then there would most likely be no complaints... well i take that back. this is steam forums everyone complain here.

can you patch in the same access for controller use?? it would be very helpful to some players if we could remap the controller as well

(btw you can remap your controller in Steam for this game already)

1) you necro'd a thread from back in September when we couldn't... 2) I already knew that they patched in rebindable controls. someone already mentioned it earlier in the thread and I posted a positive user review once I spent some time with the game after said patch.

can we please close this thread?

(edit for typo and again for clarity.)

I just bought it and I already requested a refund, does it have a function to remap keyboard and mouse but not for joystic? It can only be a joke. Not even for free that I will support playing an entire game attacking with RB.

I had the same issue at the beginning, but after some hours of playing I took the trick and I was able to get until the end of the game, which is by the way a very good game.
Cheers!

Yeah, I hope they add rebinding for keyboard. For now controls settings looks extremely cheap and unprofessional

and what about gamepad controls? default ones are terrible

[Hotel Security]

^Felt the gamepad controls are just fine. Personally I have no idea how you'd play this on a keyboard...at least playing it on Bloody Whiskers mode anyway.
