Key Mapping

[Rowboat Girlyman]

This game seriously needs the option to remap your keys, i hate playing with the arrow keys as move, it feels like i'm playing left handed!

Rebinding keyboard controls?

Will this be in the full game? I tried the demo, but it doesn't have keyboard key rebinding, just controller setup, which doesn't work on the keyboard.

Seems like a major oversight for a PC game.

BUNNYLORD'S KEYBOARD ONLY HAS XCV SPACE AND CURSOR KEYS UNFORTUNATELY. IN THE FUTURE, ALL COMMUNICATION WORKS LIKE THIS. IT IS 9 TYPES OF AWESOME. HAVE YOU TRIED USING A CONTROLLER?

This is something we'll look to doing, but no promises right now :D

No. Because it's a PC game, so it should work with the system's default peripherals. It'd be like designing a game for a touchscreen phone and then asking the player if they've tried using a keyboard attachment just because the game doesn't control well with the phone's touchscreen.

Controller support is fine and dandy, but if you want to design a game that doesn't care about the keyboard, then don't design the game for computers.

AHOI HOI SIR... APOLOGIES FOR FLIPPANCY... AS THE MAN SAID WE ARE LOOKING INTO IT... WHAT OTHER CONTROL SYSTEM DO YOU THINK WOULD FIT THE GAME BASED ON PLAYING THE DEMO?

[HaikenEdge]

I would say joystick, but that's not a very commonly used control peripheral these days, and it probably will work with the controller setup. I'd suggest the driving wheel, but that'd be flippant on my end, because no sane person would try to play this game with a driving wheel.

I love the idea of driving wheel. With the pedals for slide/shoot.

I think he meant, if you could remap the keys, what would you want to remap them to?

I'm going to look into doing this, but with launch like, super close it's tight :D

[HaikenEdge]

I think it's best to let players remap them to their needs. For example, I like using ASDF for interaction and the arrow keys for movement, but other players might prefer WASD for movement and something on the right-hand side for interaction.

For me, using XCV doesn't work simply because my hand will always go back to the home row, but it might work for other people, which is why custom key mapping, if implemented, needs to be done in a way where players can customize them to suit their needs.

The game doesn't seem to recognize my XBox 360 Controller. Any advice?

CAN YOU TRY DOWNLOADING THE LATEST SEXY XBOX 360 DRIVERS?

[Rekka]

Already have the latest one apparently.

Let me add my voice to this. the godly power to remap keys on my awesome keyboard would be awesomesawce. Beyond epic buttflaps!

So... pretty please?:)

[DYSEQTA]

Perhaps this will help. I am not going to buy a game that won't let me remap controls.

Talk about missing base functionality...

[PippyTungsten]

I'm with the others--I won't be able to play the game until the controls are remappable. This game looks awesome, but the controls as they are now are a deal breaker. Sorry Bunnylord. Let us know when you fix it.

Wish I had read this before purchasing the deluxe version of the game... or indeed any version -_)- Physically disabled in the real world and no pad or re-configurable controls means no playing this.
