**Compass** / Control scheme

Postby inzain » Sun Nov 25, 2012 12:08 pm

can we get some form of compass? even if we have to construct one and carry it like in minecraft or other games, but something that will display the direction your moving/facing.

i gather this isnt a HUGE issue, but there have been many times that ive moved to pick something up, and had something else appear on the edge of the radar, and go to move towards it (or what i thought was towards it) only to end up moving away from it having it disappear. (only takes a second sometimes lol)

and some work on the keyboard control scheme. its incredibly bad at the moment. when your moving a direction with W and turn your view you always have to let go then repress in order to set the new direction, its also constantly deciding to go in whatever direction it chooses at times even though im pressing a key for the other direction (usually relating to having been walking and clicking something to pick) after the pick it will sometimes take off in the previous direction i was pressing or just continue charging in a direction, even though i have moved the camera and started pressing W to go a different direction. something more smothe would be very nice. i understand the game was riginally designed as a point and click type game, but since keyboard controls are there, lets clean em up please. although having gotten used to it, combat is doable with the way it is, but its not really fun, there is more scare involved with will the controls screwup, moreso than will the animal hurt me. while learning it was horrendous hehe.

thanks for what we have so far tho guys, having a blast.
