I guess on the bright side there, to my knowledge Z & Y are not commonly used keys for PC games, and never as a primary key (like WASD).
(I gather Germany is mostly QWERTZ)
- lambda 12y agoSure, but French keyboards are generally AZERTY, which breaks the WASD layout. Some countries also use QZERTY, also breaking the WASD layout.
- anonymoushn 12y agoIn platformers and shmups, it's common for arrows, lshift, z, x, and maybe c to be the only buttons used to control the character. Voxatron, for example, defaulted to this control scheme, but that game has very configurable controls.
- sliverstorm 12y agoAh, goes to show what kind of games I don't play much of.
- doodpants 12y agoWhat bugs me is that game developers seem to have standardized on WASD, whereas ESDF is more natural for those who touch type.
