Hi eSedano!
First of all, thank you for your kind words and the great feedback. We are glad you are enjoying our game and we are super happy the game plays well on the Steam Deck.
This demo has a lot of content and there is much more for you to explore and experience – so keep on playing!
As to your feedback:
Thanks a lot for it. We don't mind constructive criticism – in fact, we can use more of it! We are developing the game right now, and fine tuning controls, mechanics, etc. takes time and sometimes we, as devs, miss or ignore many critical flaws in the game. External people playing and giving us their honest opinions are exactly what we need to polish Howling Irons!
The feedback about the player facing the direction he's walking is good. We are still struggling with the right control scheme and this latest iteration of the demo was very much an experiment to see if free aim felt good. I think the next version of these controls will feel much better to you, so stay tuned!
We will read your feedback with the rest of the team. Thank you again!
Keep an eye out for the next updates!
