BOH Windows, Mac, Linux game

Yes, the player position is fixed: it's the rest that rotates around ;)

Awesome. As far as I can tell, only your game and my mods use this camera system. I'm amazed more games don't use it. It's a ton of fun.

Glad you like it :)
Unless you've already done so, you can also try for yourself: just download the demo available on the website ;)

I tried the demo, I don't like the fact that I couldn't use a mouse. I also couldn't turn and strafe at the same time.

First of all, thanks for trying the demo and the feedback.
BOH is meant to be retro also as regards the controls. I wanted it to be playable with just the direction keys plus a single button, and the mechanics to be exactly as they are. Actually, I did not even plan to include strafing, which I added only upon request from a friend (and, I must say, I was never happy with the fact that I had to expand the set of keys for such a thing - which, by the way, is not necessary at all to finish the game). Back in the day games at most offered 8 movement directions and you could only fire in front of you: they were (and are!) fun and playable. It's just a different kind of gameplay.
Of course, you are entitled to your own opinion :)
Just keep in mind that the less the action, the better, when playing BOH (in other words, action is not and must not become the central point of the game) ;)

Well I make a mod called 1337 Board which offers over 9,000 hotkeys... The ability to not turn and strafe at the same time is a major turn off. If you're not going to add a mouse option to turn and shoot, I'd suggest adding a hotkey to make turning faster.

I'd like to see your config use Config.cfg (Quake/Half-Life/Call of Duty) - Although your system is fine as is... I'd like you to use that because then my mod might work in your game, lol...
bind "a" "+back"
bind "s" "+forward"

Using combo hotkeys would be great too. bind "ALT-Space" "+attack"
Usually combot keys use TAB/CapsLock/Shift/CTRL/ALT.

Also, hot about a hotkey to make the game act like classic top down view games like Zelda? Simply let go or toggle it to return to the normal camera system.

Controls: sorry, as said, the game is meant to have very, very simple - or better, basic - controls, so I won't add more keys (actually, I'm tempted to remove strafing altogether given that it's totally useless).

Configuration: sorry again, I have no reason to change that as it works and the user can easily reconfigure the keys from the menu. Moreover, the energies I'd spend to do that would be better used for making more themes and missions (which I plan to work on after I finish the current update).

Speed of turning: changing it would have a major impact on the gameplay as it has been calibrated together with the rest (running speed, spawning of enemies, characteristics of enemies, maps layout, etc.). Since currently the game is balanced exactly as I want, I won't touch that.

Camera: everything started precisely from the current graphical engine - it was an idea that had been lingering in my mind for years and that I decided to turn into something real just for fun; such idea became a characterizing aspect of the game, and I'm really fond of it. So, sorry once more, I'm not going to allow a different view.
By the way: Zelda uses a slightly slanted perspective, so also all graphics of each and every theme would need to be redrawn from scratch - that would be simply unfeasible.

The view is the same in your game, Zelda, and Diablo. It's 2D from above. Your camera system allows rotation. I ment adding a hotkey to allow Zelda style movement or a hotkey to bring a mouse pointer you can aim/move like that. Then when you let go the player returns to looking at the top of the screen.

Your hotkeys menu doesn't have to change at all. What I'm asking for a config.cfg change. All you gotta do is change your engine from Configuration.txt to Config.cfg looking something like this:

bind "A" "+back"
bind "S" "+forward"
bind "D" "+moveleft"
bind "F" "+moveright"
bind "SPACE" "+Attack"
Name "Death"
Theme "Default"
Volume "1.0"

Then any unknown command that a user could put in it, just have the game remove it from the config or simply overlook it.

But yeah that could be some work... It's a request though.

Sorry for the late reply - been very busy.

As for the view: BOH, Zelda and Diablo all use a different perspective - BOH is overhead, perfectly perpendicular; Zelda is overhead with skewing; Diablo is isometric. What you suggest requires new graphics. And, anyway, as already explained, the current view is what I wanted right from the start.

As for the configuration: please refer to my previous answer.
Moreover, looking at the bigger picture, consider this exampe: it's as if you can choose and sign the players for a basketball team, decide how to arrange them on the field, decide their workout routines and so on, but then all you focus on is recycling the uniforms of your favourite football team... Out of the metaphor: you'd like to change the sprites? You can. You'd like to change the tiles? You can. You'd like to change the sound effects? You can. You'd like to change the music? You can. You'd like to change all of those? You can. You'd like to create your own missions? You can. You'd just like to translate the game to your dialect? Well, you can (provided it requires only ISO 8859-1 characters)! So, why wasting time on a thing as useless as re-using the configuration file from some other totally unrelated game? ;)
