Lucky for me I'm a natural with a keyboard ;) . Actually horizontal shooters are one genre that I can play much better with a d-pad (the up and down motion with keyboard isn't as easy).

I got the same error when I tried running it for the first time last night. After time went by and I loaded it again, it worked. I think it's because my system was using too much memory at the time maybe.

LMK if you guys keep seeing this behavior.

So I've been trying to add joystick support to the game and quite frankly, it SUCKS (at least for 360 controllers).  I can't get it to work properly with analog sticks...for some strange reason when the game registers diagonal movement from the analog stick, it throws the Landis bullet timing off big time.  I have yet to try just a regular d-pad so I HOPE this bug is only related to analog sticks...if not...  :cry:

Lookin' good Aaron, keep at it.  :clap:

Let me know when I can control it with my thumbs (re: joypad support).
Have you tried JoyToKey (or something similar) to map joystick input to the keyboard?

If I can't get around this major joystick bug, then JoyToKey might be the only way to "fix" it unfortunately (though I'd love to have a integrated solution).  I think it was because of this that I quit the first time around with Lords of Thunder PC (the source code in the original port had only a crude joystick implementation)...this time, I won't let it stop my progress...

Good to know JoyToKey exists.  And the only controllers I have are 360 controllers!  I imagine MS probably puts something hyper-proprietary in there.

Tomorrow I'll try the demo with JoyToKey and see how well that works. ^_^

Hi mikec - welcome to the forums.

I've not worked on LoT for a while but that doesn't mean it's dead....it's just one of those many projects that I have that I'm saving for a rainy day to get back to.

sounds great?  Your demo looks amazing and I would like to pick your brain on somethings about game maker some time.
