Hey buddy, thanks for playing! I've confirmed this bug on my end as well. The game currently doesn't let you rebind to a key/button that's already bound, but what you can do to get around this at the moment is to rebind the action you want to change to a random key to the keyboard, then rebind the actual action. I'll see if I can fix it in the next patch.
Hey buddy, thanks for playing! Sorry for not getting back to you earlier, I was overseas and away from my computer.
The reason why those planes aren't playable at the moment is because their 3D models don't have moving control surfaces. That is, they're just a solid block, so I can't animate them properly. Since I don't know how to use blender or anything, I have to try my luck with whatever models I can get my hands on legally.
More aircraft are coming in the next patch, though!
Hey buddy, thanks for trying! I tried to differentiate ASE a little bit from AC with the throttle - you're supposed to stay in the ACM window for dogfighting and general combat which is why the throttle is manually set, but you can play it perfectly fine AC style by double tap-and-holding the throttle keys.
Regarding the missile switching, unfortunately the D-pad is reserved for an upcoming mechanic, but I'm thinking of actually limiting weapon selection to 3 selectable options for a future balance pass. I think this would hopefully strike a balance between the multi-weapon loadout people want, and encouraging players to try out different planes. Hopefully this will also make swapping weapons a little less tedious too, but I guess we'll see how it's received.
Hey buddy, thanks for trying it out. I've never touched Linux before so I'm not sure what could be causing it. Maybe it's something I can explore porting to in a future version!
Hey buddy, thanks for the comment. I'm back in force now, and actually just finished a first pass on the general setting and concept because I've been able to get a dialogue system up and running - I'll include a bit of an overview in the next update post. There's still a bit more stuff I want to add in before 0.08a, but hopefully I'll be able to figure it out soon!
Okay, leave it with me. This is the first time I've come across this issue and nobody else has reported something like this, so it might take a while and I'm not sure if I can fix it - it could be something wrong with the game or something wrong with your hardware.
If you haven't already I would try disconnecting the controller when you use keyboard to see if there is any weird input signal from your controller that is overriding things. Of course please also make sure your drivers are up to date for both controller and keyboard.
All good - just need a bit more information to start investigating this. Does using the main menu work consistently or is it all menus that you've accessed so far? It sounds like it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I am assuming you've tried to press ESC in the hangar to finish selecting missiles as well?
I'll also need what sort of keyboard, stick and controller you're using and your computer specs.
I will be also pushing a hotfix for an unrelated issue shortly, maybe you can see if it also fixes your problem.
Hey buddy, thanks for the feedback! I'm currently juggling a few other things for work and study, but don't intend to stop working on this for the forseeable future. I'm also dealing with some particularly digusting AI rewrites which broke a lot of things so the next update might take a little longer than usual in coming out. That said, I don't make any guarantees that I'll ever finish, but I definitely will try my best.
Re; your side note, I think the best advice I could give you is to think about what building blocks you need to make whatever game you're planning. Then break each block into more blocks. Keep breaking blocks until you know exactly what you need to do next (probably look up some tutorials), then prioritise the most important ones.
If you are completely new, I recommend starting off with a few sandbox projects and very, very small things to get your head around how C# works and what sorts of tools it gives you. I learned from scratch using youtube tutorials like Brackeys, CodeMonkey and BlackThornProd who do some nice beginner material.
Hey, thanks for checking it out! There are 2 real save points in the demo, one in the forest and one in the town (the camera things). I didn't specifically call them out, but I hope they were obvious if you passed by them. Did you find using them intuitive? I'll try adding an additional save point in the valley and also have a NPC give you a bit of a tutorial in the next patch.
If you have a bug to report, please do so in the comments below with the following information:
Title/subject
Detailed description of the bug
Replication instructions
Pictures/videos, if applicable
If I can't replicate the bug correctly, I might need a debug log, which can be found at AppData\LocalLow\Mackerel Sky\Sable Hearts\Player.txt. I'll let you know if I need it, though.
