WASD, Mystery Prices, Elevators, and Wheat — Afterplace News

I'm a very simple person. When I play computer games, I like to press the little keys with the arrows that point in the direction my character will go. It's charming in a way.

I have found that I might be in the minority on this.

But, behold, dear player, I have made a configuration to please the masses! Now both Arrow Keys and WASD work by default, with the roll and attack keys sitting in such a way that you can play the game one-handed OR two handed with WASD, or two-handed with arrow keys (I suppose you could play one-handed with arrow keys, if you happen to have tentacle fingers. If so, good for you).

This is of course, all still remappable, but I feel this default will be a smoother ride for everyone.

You can of course remap both movement key sets now, if you so desire. I also fixed some issues where rebindings would occasionally not catch until the whole settings menu closed.

Other fun bugs squashed:

Using large text now no longer obscures prices that are over 99 gold (a very frustrating bug, I'm sure, when the upgrade you though was 45 coins was actually 450. Sorry about that)

The elevator in no longer crawls to a stop

Accelerated wheat cutting repercussions if you so happen to cut a whole dang field in one go

Several small typos, missing tiles, and the like.

There are one or two more bugs that I know of, but they are elusive and difficult to reproduce, so I will hunt them in my spare time. The next update will probably be an interesting new feature! I'm excited to reveal it soon.

Until then, happy exploring~
