WASD, controller or mouse-centric control schemes?

Hello Gatewalkers!

We have read tons of feedback from Alpha tests and the recent Beta test. One important suggestion is to make it possible to play Gatewalkers in multiple different control schemes, besides WASD controls. We see that some of you prefer to play with a controller or with a more mouse-centric approach.

As a result, we believe that there should be an option for all of you:
  1. WASD controls - already in the game (default control scheme)
  2. Game controller - finally added to Gatewalkers, ready to be checked in the next round of tests
  3. Mouse-centric controls (similar to other aRPG) but with some changes - this feature is still in an experimental stage because we need to make some adjustments to address skill-based combat and survival elements. The outcome of these adjustments will be evaluated in the future.

To sum up, during the next tests, we will make it possible for you to try out controller support, and we hope you will enjoy it. Moreover, we are investigating a more mouse-centric approach to character control, which we may add to the game later.
