Keyboard + mouse input feedback request!

Hey everyone! I have pushed ~experimental~ keyboard and mouse controls to the Swordy "beta" branch. This will allow people without gamepads to play! Of course a kb+m player can also join in with gamepad players.

Repeated intro

Hey everyone! I have pushed ~experimental~ keyboard and mouse controls to the Swordy "beta" branch. This will allow people without gamepads to play! Of course a kb+m player can also join in with gamepad players. It would be awesome if anyone would try it out and give us feedback! We went through a few iterations to get the mouse aiming to feel right. Quite happy with the current state focusing more on mouse intentions / directions than the exact mouse position - sort of mimicking a joystick.

Mostly looking for feedback on:

  • How mouse aiming + mouse UI feels.

  • What you like about it.

  • Anything you feel is missing or broken.

  3. Left click on "Properties".

  4. In the "Properties" pop-up window: left click on the "BETAS" tab.

  5. In the dropdown select the "beta" branch.

  6. Left click the "CLOSE" button to close the "Properties" window.

Steam will then update Swordy automatically.

  • Aim - mouse movement.

  • Move - WASD.

  • Left action - left click.

  • Right action - right click.

The game should be fully playable with keyboard and mouse, but it's not ready for release yet.
