So! We’ve been fiddling with controls, and we’re here to talk about control schemes.
In The Moon Fields we want to have as simple of a control system as possible. The main idea is that there’s a pair of axes that do Up and Down and Left and Right and then there’s a bunch of buttons that sync to items. E.g. our code reads polar coordinates and checks to see if an array of buttons is pressed.
There are times when we think we could do something cool like use the right analogue stick for a bow & arrow, but we’d have to be really convinced to let that happen. Anyways, we’ve been playing with PS4 controllers and creating a ControlGet script for unity. If you are using Unity and PS4 controllers this might be helpful. Cheers.
