No Keyboard and Mouse support?

[Nikorasu]

This is stupid. If they don't have keyboard and mouse then there's no point in buying or play this game on PC. Why were we able to play old harvest moon games with keyboard and mouse but not this one just because it's new? I might as well play it on my Nintendo switch then unless they can fix this. Screw Steam I'll just play it on my switch

From the look of things the fishing mini game requires analogue controls.
Though you do realise you can use a Switch controller on your PC, right?

PC entitlement people these days. REEE REEEEEE, EESH.

It's now entitlement to expect the normal control scheme for the release platform to work?

So it's console entitlement to complain if they release on console and only support kb/mouse? Cause you know, you can plug those into most modern consoles

Analogue controls ...what do you think a mouse is?

There's also the fact that most third-person games have had shift and alt used as sprinting and walking respectively. This was a problem that was solved years ago, but I suppose the mouse for fishing also works.

Star Citizen has a nice system of 15 different walk speeds that you increase/decrease through with the mouse wheel

You do realized that not everyone uses console controllers on PC right?

I NEVER use a controller on my Pc. I just can't play Pc with a damn controller and I don't use my Pc to play with a stupid controller.... I loved Harvest moon on Game cube when I was younger, and I want to buy this one, but I saw the warning... I'm sorry but I pass, just for that... This studio just lost 70$ beacause they can't make a Pc game K/M compatible... Well done!

In essence, this game is on Steam, and Steam is for PC games.
PCs use keyboard and mouse, If you don't have a keyboard and mouse, you will definitely continue this article.

Why is this a problem for you? Just pretend it isn't coming to Steam and play it on another platform? There are likely lots of people that want to play this on PC with a controller, who are more than happy to accept the lack of Kb/m control because either they prefer controller or they can't use kb/m.

I don't see any reason for this other than lazyness. it takes very very little time to add kb/m controls to your code.

I find it easier to play certain farming sims with a controller them M/KB, and this is coming from someone who three years ago, hated using a controller for games on my PC..

I agree it's not fair to release a game on Steam and say it only supports controller that's kinda silly and lazy.

wait waht? that's so fk up

[Manly PMS]

Was about to buy it then just noticed the lack of kbm support. What a joke lol.

The new Harvest Moon game refuses to boot on people’s setups, the PC version was already delayed, and there’s FixedUpdate related stuttering issues with the camera. Character creation freezes the game on the Steam Deck, and there's no graphics options to adjust for those with lower-end systems. Made especially more egregious as they’re using Unity and could very well fix all of these things easily.

As I said, the “controller required” sign was a bad omen, and I was proven right yet again. Cope, Steam forum users.

EDIT: Funny, this game requires a keyboard for typing in the character name and yet they won't support it during gameplay, so it's not even full controller support.

At least it's not using IL2CPP so for those who want to fix the port, they can do that easily.

It also for some reason defaults fullscreen mode to a 32:9 aspect ratio despite being on a 1440p monitor for me. This game is busted on PC.

Couldn't you just use Steam's input options to force KB&M?

No, you can only map KBM inputs to controller, not the other way around.
