Suggestion: More keyboard bindings

Postby Daid303 » Tue Mar 06, 2018 7:10 pm

Right now, the things you can do with the keyboard are inconsistent.

You can end your turn with "space", you can confirm this with "enter". Which makes sense to quickly go trough dialogs with the keyboard without mashing spacebar.

However, the flowing things are also dialogs, but don't follow that rule:
  • After island selection "continue" button.
  • Confirming mission selection.
  • Mission results

It would also be nice if we could skip parts of the final mission animation, the part with deploying pylons, and the bomb is really taking the speed out of the game, with all the dialog. I can see you have parts of this disabled during development, so you know how annoyingly slow it is.

To put some more "power" behind this. The initial pylon phase takes 20 seconds. The phase 1 to phase 2 cutscene takes 30 seconds. The final bomb explosion cutscene till the credits takes 50 seconds.

Those first 20 and 30 seconds really take the speed out of playing. Especially the 2nd cutscene, as you are mid action, suddenly forced to take a break.
