Tomorrow I’m going to release one more patch for Phenomenon 32. It will fix some remaining issues with the Reconstruction Workshop and alter the controls to something more modern and conventional.
I never realized that the space/shift controls would be an issue, mostly because I grew up in an era where game controls on the PC were much more varied. (I’m also an old ADOM player, and in ADOM just about every key has three different functions.) But, unlike the difficulty or the existence of a manual, this is not a creative decision, but a purely practical one, and I think I ought to listen to the players.

This would really make it more enjoyable to play the it…

/ May 25, 2010Downloaded the game today, played it for half an hour. Looks *very* promising indeed! I like the amount of effort you put into it. The only thing really holding it back, is the ‘laggy’ reponse to the Jump-button. Sometimes it jumps immediately, sometimes it jumps half-a-second later, sometimes not at all. I hope it’s a Construct bug that’s causing this, so compiling it with a later Construct version will fix it automatically?

/ May 26, 2010So you did not allow my comment somehow? The one in which I mentioned ‘jumping’ was ‘lagged’ in the game? It was just meant to help you. Too bad you can’t disinguish people trying to help you, from people ‘flaming’ you.
Deleting bookmark and ignoring further development.
