Donated & Downloaded & made a quick vid of my first game attempt!

Great game with loads of potential. Looking forward to seeing this develop over time & look forward to 4 player local games once its easier to get people together.

One quick question - obviously this is early so lots of changes & no doubt you have lots of great ideas & stuff to implement. I did wonder if you might add an option for "Tank Controls" alongside the current "Camera Relative" controls. I've played a lot of overhead racer type games so the left/right rotate controls are like second nature to me. Obviously after a few games I started adjusting to the controls a little so its all good.

Keep up the great work though - this has tons of potential & the multi-player will add to the games appeal & longevity.

Mad respect for this one! And once again big up for your engine, Simulant is definitely going to make the Dreamcast thinking even more ;)

Possibly... I'm torn on whether to add configurable controls (which is a bit of work and is a bit more effort to maintain) or to really try to improve the current controls (which clearly have issues!)

I'll see what I can do, we already have quite a massive list of things to get done before our target feature-freeze date in Feb... I'll update the thread at some point :)

Thanks for taking the time to reply - I really appreciate it.

Totally understand that adding configurable controls takes time & effort & that the more you add the more there is to maintain (& test & higher chance of introducing bugs etc) so ultimately do what works best for you in terms of development.

Was just providing some feedback as I think it will make an awesome game even better. However I also get that I need to adjust more to the current controls (think my brain is just conditioned to expect “driving” controls to be more like Micro Machines than camera relative/Halo Warthog style so will take time to get comfortable with them)

Keep up the great work though - this is a super promising game & I’ll be sure to follow updates & look forward to the eventual finished game :)
