You may be able to make it slightly easier by putting both turning and drifting on the analog stick.

There are at least 500 Windows-compatible gamepads. You don't need to implement them. Providing a pure keyboard/mouse mode would be good enough.

Xbox/PS plug-and-play would need to be implemented, if you want them.

If the game has a pure keyboard/mouse mode, it can be included in a special JoyToKey-related club.

Will there be first-person chainsaw games?

Not if PCs and consoles fuse.

I like how you don't use the fact that the 2D graphics are easy to lay out, as an excuse to justify not putting shadows on them.

I would love to find out that the game doesn't end up interfering with JoyToKey.

We're tryin' to get to the point where it's socially acceptable to attach controllers to guns, without including gyro or light gun technology.

Don't complain about Pokรฉmon FireRed and LeafGreen prices.

Download Vaporwave Battler, and fight vaporwave creatures instead.
And if you don't know what vaporwave is, that's half the reason to do it.

It does look good. The Blender detail surprised me.

If you have something like Photoshop or GIMP, it should be a fairly quick process to draw a few smoke puffs, then make then rise while they become more transparent.

Was the end result a series of semi-transparent images, like PNGs?

By the way, that mod has 6 USB ports in the front, 4 of which are for controllers.

Assuming you can create your own controller layout. ๐Ÿ˜‰

The Panasonic 3DO was actually very special. Where else can you find an enclosure that's shaped like this?

"Indies" have room for improvement, and it might just happen.

Controller design stagnation is at least as severe.

The Itch.io game Hollowspire wasn't made with gun controllers in mind, yet it doesn't matter, because the game is first-person, and uses simple mouse movement, which is easy to run through JoyToKey.

It isn't necessary to include controller-recognizing code.
I would be delighted to test a later build, and if it turns out that the game only really works well with keyboards and Xbox controllers, then I'll be cool with that.

If the game has keyboard and mouse defaults, it already has broad controller support. The interesting question to me is how well the controller plug-and-play code (that you're working on) keeps to itself.

20.02.2026 03:01 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I meant Xbox controller plug-and-play code. I could test a build myself.

20.02.2026 02:49 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Does it have Xbox plug-and-play code that keeps to itself?
