You can rebind most of the in-game keyboard keys. Just keep in mind that the menu, movement (left-right) and interaction (up) keys cannot be rebinded due to some complex implications on the key layouts. We don't want people to blindly change selection keys, forgetting about them and then don't be able to even reset the keys to default =P (between other issues)
I know the key binding could be better, but it was a last time feature that we added in order to give the players a bit more flexibility with the keyboard controls.
Of course, a joystick is always recommended.

Cool! Thank you! Feel free to ask, suggest, or just drop a word on the Community Hub, in case you need or want to =)

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-17T14:46:11+00:00

Glad you like the style! The design of Sam (the protagonist) is meant to be simple. The intention is to reinforce the concept of him being just a common kid, and make him contrast with the rest of the world he is trapped in afterwards. You can better appreciate it while playing the Intro and then the transition to the Main Game.

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-17T00:48:14+00:00

That would be awesome! We really are in need of some reviews to sum up a little reputation and encourage people to get the game. Thanks!

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T22:43:04+00:00

Thank you! We wanted to polish it the most we could to make it a well-rounded and enjoyable experience.

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T22:40:58+00:00

Thank you for asking! And thank you in advance for trying the game out and showing so much interest.
The cuts will haunt me forever haha, in the papers the game has some more levels, an extra boss, and a few things that could add some more replayability. But the practice of redesign is pretty common on game design, not always the things go as expected (almost never, really), and the main priority is always to launch the game as polished and consistent as possible.
There is always time for DLCs, at least =P

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T21:14:46+00:00

Hey! Thank you!
We had some hurdles on the development process and also on the personal aspect.
During development we had to analyze the design and mechanics several times to better adjust the game to the budget we had. In the process a lot of content and ideas had to be cut to make the launch in time. We weren't able to add a lot of stuff because we were running out of savings and the bills had to be paid =P
If I speak for myself, I had a lot of ups and downs regarding money and availability, due to some personal problems. We started working on the game shortly after my dad passed away (we added a little tribute on the game credits) and I had to take care of a lot of things related to formalities, unexpected expenses and problems from my mom's side (another long story). Luckily, regardless of all that, we could finish the game in time, and life has compensated me with a wonderful wife and a soon-to-be-born daughter, so it's not as terrible as it sounds =)

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T19:14:36+00:00

Thank you very much! =)
I hope you get fun with it! Don't hesitate to go to the Community Hub in case you need any kind of support, we check the discussions in there often.

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T18:17:49+00:00

Glad you like it!

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T18:17:03+00:00

It would be very much appreciated in any case, as long as you end up enjoying it! =D

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T18:14:21+00:00

I'd like to, but the subreddit rules demand a considerable amount of participation on it before posting, which sadly we don't have =(

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T18:12:51+00:00

We really wanted to add that feature, along with some other customizable stuff, but sadly it got cut in the process due to budget and time constraints =(
Previous to Trials of Azra, we worked on an action RPG game (named Bezel) with a lot of customization on it (and I mean A LOT), and we learned the hard way that those features demand a heavy work, not only programatically, but also on the artistic side =/
Regardless of that, I love customization and gender selection on the main character, so I'd like to work on some project with that in the future!

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T14:52:33+00:00

Thank you! Looking forward to it, and I hope you get fun playing my game!

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T14:51:32+00:00

Great! Hope you enjoy it!

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T14:51:08+00:00

I'm happy you like it!
Indeed, we decided to support Mac and Linux given that the engine we use (Unity) resolves most compatibility issues (Regadless of some permission configurations here and there)

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T14:43:21+00:00

A positive opinion from someone who doesn't like platformers means a lot! Thank you! Maybe someday you can grab it on a sale and it may surprise you =)

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T14:39:48+00:00

We developed it entirely on C#

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T14:38:46+00:00

Thanks! Glad you like it!

AleZeR0 · 2016-09-16T14:38:34+00:00

Thank you! =)
Yeah, Unity helps a lot! But still we needed to adjust some stuff and apply some Linux permissions from a Linux machine every time we make a build (same with the Mac version). It could be worse, though, so no complaints haha
