Hello death slingers!

We have been listening to the community and many have expressed that, even though they do enjoy the game, they would prefer if they were able to freely aim. So we created a version of the game with Free Aim!

This is how it works:

• Mouse + Keyboard:
  • Character now faces the direction of the aim, so if you want to rotate him you will have to do so with the mouse. 
  • When moving with WASD, the character will always face direction of aim, so you can walk backwards now (and shoot while walking backwards).
• Controller:
  • Use the left stick to move; use the right stick to aim. So its basically a twin stick shooter.
  • Character now faces the direction of the aim, so if you want to rotate him you will have to do so with the right stick.
  • Same as above, when moving with the left stick, the character will always face direction of aim, so you can walk backwards now (and shoot while walking backwards).

We will leave the previous version of the game and upload this one as a different build. 

We hope you all enjoy it and please, let us know if this feels like the definitive control scheme for Howling Irons!

Cheers!
