Controller
the character is always crouching, you have to go "up" to walk, to go "up" to strike, to go "up" to move, to go "up" to parry".
I can't even pass the parry sequence of the tutorial.
My keyboard is azerty, ther's no way I can use wasd.
Why the hell many developers don't implement arrow keys ?
arrow keys are always at the same place, whaterver keyboard you're using
Ah, I had a feeling it was something like that. That's why I mentioned the qwerty keyboard.
And, yeah, unfortunately the controller as well seems bugged out at this time as it appears to be. Laslyon reported the same problem in an earlier comment. Hopefully it will be addressed in a future update. Thanks for leaving more detailed feedback about the inconvenience you are having though. I'm sure the dev will appreciate it and it will possibly help improve the game in the future. Can't say for sure though lol. I'm just a drifter that decided to check back here every once and a while. I just like this developer and game. Maybe Ellise will chime in when she gets a chance to give her input on other keyboard types. Sorry I couldn't help. At least I tried... Hope you get to play in the future though. I think it's a cute little gem of a platformer in the making. ^_^
"Time will tell..."
Arrow keys are something I simply didn't think was necessary, but I see that I was wrong about that and will look to implement movement using those keys as well.
I'm sorry you're having issues with the controller as well. It's really strange that it happens to some people since the controllers and computers I've personally tested the game out with worked fine.
For the next update I'm working on adjusting the controller code so that people whose controllers wouldn't be recognized at all should work, the crouching however is something I'm quite at a loss about though as of now.
What kind of controller are you using if you don't mind me asking?
Hm, an Xbox controller is what I use too.
The d-pad is already coded to work, but I understand when the character is constantly pushing to one direction it's just as difficult to play using it. Luckily I think I may have figured out the issue, it seems to be related to deadzone sensitivity- or rather, a lack of one at all. (Rookie mistake, but we all gotta learn, right?)
If all goes well the major controller issues should be fixed with the next update. :)
Thank you for your patience!
Stick drift can be a real game killer... definitely sounds like the cause. Too much deadzone can also make a game unplayable. Good thinking...
A small story: I played a game on Wii U before that has the deadzone for walking set so high that if you were to play it with any 3rd party controller, it would not let you run at all or certain directions would have the same effect. It's like they made sure you had to use their brand of controller lol. That's kind of messed up... Making the game pretty much unplayable unless you had a brand new Nintendo controller. Xenosaga I believe it was. That's besides the point though. My point is as stated at the top. Analog sticks, especially worn ones can be a real pain sometimes.
I have to agree that adding a small analog stick dead-zone should definitely fix that problem. Very logical thinking for sure. Everyone makes mistakes indeed. In fact, I have another quote for such an instance that I added to...
"Learn from your own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others to be better where we can be."
And I would say you've done just that Ellise. ^_^ Good on you! Just trying to give praise where praise is due. Hope you don't mind. Have a Great Day!
