Great game! A few observations...

Post by bsones »

I really like what I'm seeing so far--the 3D view really adds a lot to the experience compared to AB1. I feel like the basic controls could use some tweaking, though...

1. Both WASD and edge-scrolling are painfully slow, even with the shift key held down. A slider to adjust scroll speed would be great, but failing that, just making it faster by default would help.

2. The "right-click to jump camera to location" is a neat idea in theory, but in practice I end up constantly overshooting the area that I actually want to view. I think it's because the point that you click on becomes the new camera location; the problem is that unless you have the camera pointed straight down, that point that you clicked on will not actually be in-frame--it will be out of frame, below you. It seems intuitive that when you right-click on a point on the map, that point is what you want to look at. But that's not how it currently works.

3. To be honest, I'd actually prefer it if right-clicking allowed you to drag the map around, rather than jumping the camera. That would be a lot less disorienting.

You can adjust the map scroll speed in the options. Default speed is 1500 IIRC, but it's adjustable up to 5000 which seems more than fast enough without even using the shift key.
