Suggestion for control "change"

[jrtolle]

To start off with, I thoroughly love this game and the new player cam. I've only played it for a few minutes on a computer where I can't use a gamepad (I'll be able to do that at home). I only have one suggestion for the player cam angle and it involves controlling the player.

Instead of Left and Right controls, make them more like FPS games: strafe left and strafe right and set up the mouse to be mouse-look (always on, for obvious reasons, and preferably with an option for inverse up/down). Then, sprint can be set to a key on the kb, just like most FPS games. At least for me, this would be way more intuitive and would facilitate jumping into the game much easier.

I'm guessing this could be extended into the gamepad controls if DirectInput is used and supports detection of X/Y axes.

Hi Jr, I'll look at improving the controls in the not too distant future.
