Well that went fast! Hahaha.

Did anyone change the default keyboard controls? I wanted to go with WASD movement and I made the skills numeric. I assumed I could attack with a click (or double-click) with the mouse, but it seems you have to use the skills. I noticed there are gamepad controls and I wonder if it might be better with that or the default keyboard controls. What do you think?

I've had that discussion already although I don't recall all of the results of it. I believe Travis said he uses a Logitech controller. What do you recommend? I know there's a way to use the PS3 (or XBox) controller, too, but that didn't quite work out as well as I wanted in Morrowind. It's been ages since I've actually used a controller on a PC. Maybe I should invest in one.

That's right, I think that was the general agreement with the PC controller discussion some of us had some time ago. The only XBox I own is the very first one and I have no interest in the newer versions. When I tried to get my PS3 controller working for Morrowind, it seemed like the XBox 360 controller was perhaps easier to use and configure. This was evident because, to get the PS3 controller to work, I had to use a program to get it to emulate an XBox 360 controller. Thanks for the reminder and the tip. Perhaps I'll get one eventually or soon. I am expecting to visit Gamestop in a few weeks to pick up Smash Bros. for the Wii U and both of the new Pokemon games for me and my son.

All that said, are you using the default controller configuration for the game?

Cool. So far my first impressions of the game are still the first impressions I had of the video. Like Starship Rubicon, I don't survive very long nor have I played very long. The game also reminded me Edge of Space, similar graphics, similar size (I have it on a high resolution). I was happy that I learned that holding down a key for the first ability makes it continue to fire, instead of constantly pressing the key.

Today at GameStop, one of the things I bought was an Afterglow XBox 360 controller. It is "see-through" and glows blue when plugged in. I got this controller because it attaches via USB cable, which i thought would be the best way to connect a controller to my PC as I'm unsure if my PC is Bluetooth-capable. I plugged the controller into my PC and it installed quickly. I decided to test it out in Risk of Rain and I found that the only configuration I had to do was to select "enable gamepad." I was then able to use the controller in the game and I understood why you, Jon, use your controller in the game. They keyboard settings for the game are just weird to me, but the gamepad configuration feels perfect. Thanks for the recommendation!

I totally agree, as I said the keyboard configuration just seems weird, while the controller seems perfect.

One thing about this game though is it's title. I keep think it's called "Risk of Ruin," which seems much more fitting.

Two is the number of times I said, "wow!" I still suck at the game that I have (Kickstarter version), but I believe (more strongly now) that I will buy (or pre-order) the game. Reading the comments on the Green Light sight, I thought it was cool that there were ships that you could ram into other ships. However, this video really excited me by showing off some new weapons that look extremely useful and easier to use, such as the homing missiles and the thick, laser beam. Keep up the good work!

Ok scratch the belief "that I will buy (or pre-order)," I have pre-ordered the game. Thank you for making it an easy transaction (much like my Cheerful Ghost membership). I look forward to being able to play the latest version of the game.

Sweet!

Looks like sexy fun! Congrats guys :)

When you say an "up vote," do you mean a "yes" to the question of "would you buy this game if it were on Steam?" I finally played the Kickstarter version today. I was surprised by how small the zip file is (12mb). I need to spend some more time with the game, I apparently suck at it currently. Still, I would like to throw some support towards our first published game.

Excellent, I will do that and I'll see about getting in some more game time in with it. =)

Oh and have you noticed any issues with the site? From what I see, it seems some of the HTML coding may be messed up. It doesn't load or even look properly.

Yes, it looks horrible in Chrome, but it's fine in IE, so I was able to give it a "vote up."
