Valuable comments as always. Thank you Stelthyshiroean.
I had thought about camera rotation, but I worried it would make the controls more confusing. I can see it would help to view the pickups though.
Right now I am updating the controls so it's not limited to the keyboard. I am not too familiar with the new input system, but getting there. Ill implement a mouse for the menu at that time too. I may add a control display to the bottom left for in-game too as an indicator of direction, but also as touchscreen controls for mobiles and tablets.
Thank you! It is very helpful.
