POLL: What control scheme should we use as default?

Postby [HT]Kevin » Tue Nov 10, 2015 9:06 pm

With Alpha 4 we gave you the option to choose between two Control Schemes for the game (in the Options menu) - Tell us which one you like more (and why!)

These are the Controls:

Control Scheme A
  • Move Heroes using the RMB
  • Select Heroes using the LMB
  • Deselect Heroes using the LMB (on the Ground)
  • Use Consumables with the LMB
  • Move the Camera using the LMB
  • Place Heroes with the LMB
  • Heroes are deselected after Moving, but not after charging

Control Scheme B
  • Move Heroes using the RMB
  • Select Heroes using the LMB
  • Deselect Heroes using the LMB (on the Ground)
  • Use Consumables with the LMB
  • Move the Camera using the Middle Mouse Button
  • Place Heroes with the RMB
  • Heroes are never automatically deselected

Other
If you feel quite daring, you can play around yourself - Go to the Folder

C:\Users\Username\AppData\LocalLow\Happy Tuesday\Haunted Island


and find the "Haunted Island.ini" File -- just open it with a text editor and you can set our own Mouse bindings and hotkeys!

I would tend to scheme A, but Heroes should really be NOT deselected after moving. This can be quite annoying, when you have a single strong monster, that you Hunt down with a special Hero, wich you have to select over and over again.

As Feedback for scheme B: moving camera with MMB is very unhandy when your mouse has a mousewheel als middle button (like mine has)

I think scheme A is the better choice for default.
The deselecting annoys me two. I get it for mobile games but it's super disruptive for mouse centered gameplay.

Scheme A would be my option to go with since I know it from other similar games so it's quite remarkable.
Agreed with Anton, the auto deselecting doesn't feel right.

Current settings feel quite handy.

Sometimes I feel confused about the current selected unit's location :lol:
Maybe add autofocus with doubletabbing the unit's number? ( also solution Minimap, Cameradistance bit more in the far )

My Choise: Scheme A

The middle button has not a big contactarea the touch. LMB and RMB are enough for playling
I usw only 2 fingers and i will not switch my fingers to the MMB
A little Zoom in and out for the Wheel is okay

Best greetings
