On-Screen Button Mapping
Added 2022-05-02 17:44:46 +0000 UTCThis weekend I've worked on displaying the available actions and their button mappings, on screen.
This is particularly important to me, because I want this game to very much work along the lines of "you pick up a controller and are ready to go, immediately."
I've thought a bunch about how to best display this information, and this is my current approach!
Alternatively, I could move the action labels to the left or bottom of the screen, but I think this is a pretty nice way of displaying all the available actions, you know... close to the action. Although, I may add an option so you can chose whether or not to display this information in the center of the screen.
And if it's too cluttered, there's always the option to just hide the HUD as well, of course!
Also, at the moment it only shows the X-Box controller mappings, and in the future I'd much rather show appropriate button icons instead of their abbreviations (i.e. "RT") – but this should be a good start!
