Classic Keyboard Controls
Hey,

Maybe it's me that has a problem with the new *exclusive* gamepad control scheme but I would really like to see the old and gold rotation based controls back, at least as an option.

Similarly, key customization was a nice feature, maybe you could bring that back as well :)

Overall, thank you for this great game!

Let me know how it feels for you. Sorry for the frustration this caused.

I would like to eventually also have fully customization controls in the game but currently I don't have a time-frame on that.

Definitely agree with Karabibik. I have waited a long time for this game. Not gonna refund. I am sure it will be fixed.

Yes, same here. Much preferred the simple old rotate left or right controls - or maybe it's just me that is simple and old ;) . Would be nice to at least have the option to use the old scheme.

Also on my Rock Candy XBox 360 controller the D-Pad is reversed in the menus - UP moves down and DOWN moves up! Works fine in other games.

No I agree as well. I absolutely hate these controls. Having sunk many hours into the previous version, I cannot unlearn that muscle memory. Classic controls really need to be introduced or else regretably I will not play this game

I hear you! I have a plan for this that I am going to work on. I ran into troubles with the fully customize-able control options for this version, but I could definitely look into adding a toggle to the options menu that allows people to play with the tilt/turn style instead.

I just played for 10 minutes but i realized that besides how unfamiliar and hard it was to play with this keys, my ctrl and shift are unresponsive, so at least i would want to option to customize the keys.

Thanks for taking in mind the feedback and also thanks for the free upgrade! :happymeat:

A full key customization is on my list, but I don't know when Ill be able to implement that at this time. I am currently working on a hot fix for a couple small issues and hopefully can have an alternate steering style ASAP, then will look at full custom controls again. (hard to explain but I just ran into a ton of issues when I tried to do custom controls like the original game)

oh thank God for that.

+1, a key to rotate left, another to rotate right

OMG.. These new controls are TERRIBLE Nickervision!!

I agree 100% with the OP of this thread. I think you just "over-thought" this one and tried to make the controls easier or more simple and downright messed up what was fantastic controls in your original game.

Keep up the great work but yes please give us left and right rotation controls as the original version had as soon as you get a chance!

I also like the original rotation controls. I use the keyboard. I have a game controller around here somewhere but it is covered in dust and the batteries are probably dead.
The author of this thread has indicated that this post answers the original topic.

I have put it in a betav2 branch on Steam. This adds the secondary classic control scheme that is toggle-able in the options menu, as well, in the tutorial/controls area, you can click "c" or right trigger to toggle the controls and try them both out. Let me know how it feels for you. Sorry for the frustration this caused.

I would like to eventually also have fully customization controls in the game but currently I don't have a time-frame on that.

It works like a charm! Thank you for the very quick response and update, we are waiting for the key customization as well :)

Works great. Thanks for the speedy fix!

I still have the minor oddity with the D-pad being reversed in the menus - up moves down and down moves up - but the thumbstick moves in the expected direction.

Awaiting the fully customization controls... its really unconfortable.
