is there any way to play 2 player w/ my laptop’s keys? I don’t have controller yet.
maybe to make something like a .config file? Could u make player one use the WASD Keys? (Player Two The ARROW Keys.)??
Hi Jaxx,
Thanks for trying out our game and for your feedback! 😊
In Version 1.3, Player One can now use either WASD or the Arrow Keys for movement. Space is for jumping, O for light attacks, and K for heavy attacks—these can already be combined quite smoothly, but there will be no InGame-UI for that, as it's more of a kind of development tool.
We’ve looked into improving keyboard support further, but since this was our first time working with Unreal Engine as students, making both players fully playable on one keyboard turned out to be quite tricky. The project itself is now finished, so while we can’t promise any future updates, we’ll keep it in mind in case a solution comes up.
Thanks again for your support! We’re sorry that the current setup isn’t perfect for you, but we hope that you can still enjoy the game, either with a future update (if we find a solution) or with the possibility of a controller-based setup.
