WASD movement Thread - Pokémon3D

I know this is a minor gripe and that you probably have things set up how you do for a reason but....

I find it really annoying that I can only move forward. I dont mean for it to have complete free movement, but at least let us move in all 4 directions without having to change the camera.

I've already forgotten how the camera is controlled in regards to the mouse, but mouse controlled camera in the overworld, even if it was right click camera, would be nice too.

I second this suggestion. It's very cumbersome. There seemed to be a one or two tile lag between when I changed camera directions and when Red actually turned.

a gamepad would fix all

Not without changing the way movement and camera positioning works. You'd still only be able to move forward. And since character position would still be limited to the center of the current tile you wouldn't have the fine control a gamepad give. The only thing a controller would improve on would be button positioning.

Not criticizing, just being realistic. I much prefer a controller to mouse/keyboard, but it would be more of a hindrance at this stage.

I totally see what you are saying and your suggestion is greatly appreciated, the game is still indev this is just something we will have to deal with for the moment, yes I do hope it gets put into the next update

I just got ahead of myself

Unfortunately, I don't consider this a minor gripe.

The movement in this really hurts my enjoyment of the game. The lag (already mentioned) when you change camera directions doesn't help.

I found that going to the fixed camera, with mouse speed set to 20, makes it a LOT more manageable.

This is actually possible if you go into 3rd person (F5) and zoom in all the way. It works well.
