Patch 1.5.1 - Volatile Keybindings


This is a small update; I have attempted to add a Controls menu in CARNAL, where you can change 7 of the game's button configurations. These are movement keys (4), jumping (1) and firing keys (2).

Changelog:

  • Added a jank Controls menu
  • Added hit impacts when shooting enemies with the Plasmagun

You can change the following keys:

  • Forward
  • Backward
  • Right
  • Left
  • Jump
  • Primary fire
  • Secondary fire

As a safety mechanism, whenever players want to use/reassign Mouse buttons they will be prompted to confirm with Enter or any key.

Whether or not this fits the needs of the many and whether or not players think it's enough customizability is open for debate, to be honest I almost didn't get it working in the first place, mostly as a result of Unity's lacking infrastructure. I have been very critical of Unity as an engine during this whole development cycle, but it is an unfortunate reality in that inexperienced game developers such as myself have to write complete systems for basic stuff that players expect and take for granted. I have had better experiences to say least, mostly involving Chai Latte (-ᵥᵥ-)

So this is what I could manage in a short amount of time. The nature of having custom keybindings has also removed the nuance to player movement you may have gotten used to in CARNAL, where it now reads input in a somewhat binary sense. Basically movement feels a lot more snappy is what I am trying to get at.

Anyways long story short I hope this is more or less okay. If you prefer playing differently like oh I don't know, using Mouse 0 and 1 to move forward and back, LCTRL for fire, and S and X for strafing left and right, well then I think it will work for you. If you need more exotic options though I unfortunately can't help you, and I'd say you may have bigger problems than not being able to use WASD.

As always heckle me some feedback if I fucked up somewhere, it's VERY possible ;)
