When I saw the announcement of this community opening I immediately thought about this. I think this is the most active (despite the hiatus) thing connected to Cave Story nowadays. I still haven’t tried it yet, because when I played the original, it didn’t play nice with a keyboard at all, but I’ve seen some changelogs and some gameplay so it’s definitely on my list.
In your opinion is the mod playable with keyboard or would you recommend a joystick for this too?
I hadn’t tested much with a controller, still need to pick up a newer one sometime, but for keyboard I’d say it’s pretty playable from what I tried, or at least I hadn’t noticed anything particularly egregious with it so far.
Oh, I forgot to say: Cave story (I played it before it got on steam, idk if it changed there) didn’t have keybind settings and keyboards in my country for some reason swap some keys. One of these were so far away from a comfortable position that I just had to borrow a controller to play it. If there are settings for keybindings in the mod then everything is okay.
I did recall seeing something like that so it might be possible, I can’t say with 100% certainty but it seems to be in there.
Ok, I checked and it does have keyboard config!
