Noticed wolves were getting a bit out of control and wanted to rim them a bit...\n\nGot ambushed and killed by a bunch of... Demons? Wait, what demons??? They were not mentioned it the rules.\n\nThe controls were also a bit... nonintutive. Usually it's WSAD to move ant mouse to looks. Not point-click to move and WSAD to look...\n\nAslo as mentioned above the mab is kind of too big and it's hard to find the species you are supposed to kill.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AllesKapaul","author_uid":"1051403","time":"2018-12-06T20:35:47Z","epoch":1544128547,"modified":1544128547,"text":"@hilvon Thank you for your feedback, just as a comment, the tutorial did actually state: 'O and watch out for the demons\u2026.' ;)\nAs for the controls you might be right, we first wanted click only and move the camera automatically but due to time lag we decided to quickly implement keys to rotate.\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"pelicanodepico","author_uid":"1125153","time":"2018-12-07T09:21:38Z","epoch":1544174498,"modified":1544174498,"text":"A very cool concept!

But my god, using the A & D keys to spin the camera as well as click to move all in a third person perspective? I don't think you could have broken more conventions if you'd tried!.

It feels so open world and the soundtrack is amazing and peaceful; playing it was a very nice experience. I had to put it down because of the movement controls. With the point and click movement, moving is too slow and boring, and it makes moving more of a hassle than something fun to do. Can you please add \"WASD\" move controls and maybe \"mouse\" camera controls? A run\/sprint button would also be really nice to have, so you could quickly move from environment to environment. This would make the game so much more enjoyable for me, and if the controls were fixed, I can imagine myself sitting down and playing it for hours. If you change the controls, can you please let me know, because I would love to redownload it!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"AllesKapaul","author_uid":"1051403","time":"2018-12-07T14:08:21Z","epoch":1544191701,"modified":1544191701,"text":"@jackson-makes-games Thank you for the detailed review, if I have time this weekend I will update the movement controls.
