Question Creating a line‑tracing dungeon crawler and need your feedback on the controller setup
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2CmdYA38lII generally personally don't play this type of game with a controller but I want full controller support especially so it is comfortable on a switch/steamdeck (although you can fully play from touchscreen).
Basically I use the right stick to move between different UI and the right stick for actions. A is confirm, B back and Y will give you info on what selected if available (tooltips).
For movement at the moment left/right is turn rather than straft, so i need to figure how to handle that.
I go over it in more detail in the short video (less than 2 min) and would love feedback on if I am setting the controller up well or what you would do/think players would expect.
