Alien Video Game Scientist changes
I've always been adamant that invert Y camera was the only way to play, so much so that I made it the default in my game. But of course I realize that I'm in the minority, so the very first thing you do in the tutorial is decide if you want to use invert Y or "normal" camera controls (shades of the first Halo, or Ratchet Deadlocked).
A new player, however, discovered that this leads to a significant ambiguity for what it means to select "invert y" in the tutorial; does that mean invert the current controls?
No, they are already inverted! So selecting Invert Y does nothing. Which in retrospect is definitely confusing to everybody but me, and may have already earned the game it's first negative review. So now the game defaults to non-inverted Y; a change of exactly 1 character to the source code.
Thanks, *semi-anonymous* steam player!
