Some Features I would like to have

Here's the first person who asked for mouse controls in this game 😉.

I usually play games with keyboard and I like the keyboard controls you provide (I do have something to say about the steering but that comes later). I want mouse control for the upgrade section, that comes after each race.


Finally, the steering system, I used to play an old nfs demo in dos box, there the steering movement was very nice, first of all, you could see the steering, secondly, when you press the key, the steering would move slightly at first, if you hold the key longer, it would move in larger and larger steps, that allowed a precise control of steering input through keyboard. That's what I want here.

Ooh, mouse controls for the menu! Well... I must admit that when I started designing the menus, I had to decide whether they’d support a mouse, or be keyboard/gamepad only.
I looked at games like Sonic Mania and Slipstream  (both don’t have mouse support) so I went with that same approach.
If I ever want to change that, I’d have to rethink how it would work intuitively.

About the steering controls: There is a slider in the options menu called “Steering Speed.”
Lowering it makes the car respond more gradually to your input — but it doesn’t increase turn speed the longer you hold the key.
Maybe I could add an additional slider to control that behavior.
Although I must admit: slower steering input might be a disadvantage in later races, where quick reflexes are key to staying alive.

I appreciate your response; this game has lots of potential. I hope you will keep adding new features in future. Keep us posted.
