S = Shoot
ReplyDeleteD = Dismount
SPACE = Jump
ESC (and/or ENTER) = Pause
Arrows = Move/Climb
That's my opinion.
Note: Paying attention.
ESC: Pause (I like this as the pause button and I believe people naturally hit the escape button if something pulls them away from the game.)
ReplyDeleteSpace: Jump (The player does a lot of jumping in our game and the space bar is big enough that the player does not have to worry about hitting a small letter key)
Z: Shoot (This is close to the space bar and since jumping and shooting are primary to our game I believe this will work better.)
D or Shift: Dismount (I believe that shift is an easy reach and fits with Z = Shoot and Space = Jump. But D makes sense in a logic way since Dismount starts with the letter D.)
I am not sure that the player would ever dismount the dinosaur so I was thinking do we need this? I could see this being used if later in the level the player had a choice between two different kinds of dinosaurs.
I have posted above about this, I will mention it here too.
ReplyDeleteOverall...
F = Fire (shoot)
Space Bar = Jump
These controls could get hit with a "flip-flop" and the player could choose between the two, on the fly, (if possible).
I think F works and the space bar could work also. But i think W should be for shooting if you ask me. It gives people enough space for there hands and it feels more natural.
