Shift doesn't make sense as a main key almost at all tbh.
Space to fire makes more sense than shift to fire
Edit: Shift is a modifier key. Hold shift to go from lowercase -> capitals. In FPS games shift is walking -> running. In RTS games shift is "select one of these units -> select all of these units"
I know your game doesn't have to follow these rules, you can do whatever you want. However it's worth thinking about what "language" each key on the keyboard is speaking when you want to use it.
- tinywind 5mo agoThis actually makes a lot of sense to me. Never thought about shift being a modifier key from a UX perspective, I’ll likely make space to fire and move map to M because of this thread. Thanks guys!
- bluefirebrand 5mo agoTab is a good key for changing to a map too, if you don't have it for something else already
- altern8 5mo agoThis will make it a lot more intuitive to play
- ForHackernews 5mo agoThank you! It's very confusing to me that spacebar doesn't fire.
