hey guys, since no one posted in this topic i would like to be the first. anyway, arrow keys don't seem to be a relatively good option for a game like this where you will go forward, backwards, left, right, up, down, diagonal, and every direction. so my option is a joystick, (i have seen joysticks where you can pull it up and push it down). a joystick would be the easiest way to control a creature as it moves. anyone else agree?

Obviously joystick compatibility is something that we need to include. But keyboard directionals are just as important.

You can pull off some really natural movement with a keypad, but joysticks will, of course, be included.

Good thought. I'm going to lock this up to remind us to implement it later.
