Star Surfer Devlog 5 - Controls and movement

Star Surfer
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

For this update I added gamepad support which is probably going to be the preferred way of playing the game.
You turn using the left joystick and you roll using the bumpers and to move forward you use the right trigger.

I also changed how the player moves instead of being able to move freely you now can only move using the boost which makes more sense in my head because how are you going to propel yourself with out boosting from the fire extinguisher.

I also added a Origin Shift script to the game that helps reset the origin of to the player and fixes the floating point bug that messes with the player model causing them to jitter.
