I continued to work on various things this week, the highlight being adjusting the gun back to a useable item, from its own button.  Feedback was that it felt over emphasized, and that's a good point, I really want to focus on magic spells being her primary ability.

But I really want to use this update to focus on a question that I had:

I had a question regarding button lays outs that I wanted to get some feedback on.  Right now, you can use 1-3 o select an item like a potion, or gun, etc, and you hit Q to use it.  Its set up this way to kinda reinforce that the player is choosing the correct item, as they are limited use in most cases.   

Do you guys like this, or would you feel like streamlining the controls would be better.  Instead of selecting the correct item, hitting 1-3 would just use said item?  

I'd love to hear your feedback

Bias due to the fact I'm playing FFXIV lol, hot keys are always nice to have

I think ideally in the future, this would be something the player could toggle in the settings themselves. For now I'm in the streamlined corner. It's more of the standard for games nowadays.

Our thought behind not having direct hotkeys was because its easier to map to controller support inputs. If you want to do controller support then this is something to think about. If not, Id also use the keys directly.

I have worked out how to map to controller either way. So we're in the clear

I feel like it'll be harder to aim than it should be if you fire the gun as soon as you press the hotkey for it, but for other items hotkeys are probably fine.
