Comment on "The Next Subnautica" aims to deliver underwater survival spooks in early 2025
Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 1 year agoIt’s weird, I thought of it like leaning back & forward to make it intuitive, and our brains can learn to make just about any adjustment with enough practice.
But IRL if you’re physically pointing at one spot and want to move your point of aim up and to to the right for instance, the movement you make is much more like the uninverted mouse movement, so you’re spending time IRL learning one movement and time in games learning the opposite movement. I think that’s why inverted was so much worse even though I did it that way from the start.

That’s exactly what it’s live and it’s exactly why it’s intuitive and why when games came out, it was the standard.
But you’re not pointing in the games. You’re moving the view/camera. So to LOOK up and right (as opposed to point), you lean back and roll to the left

You are doing both. They are inherently coupled in this format. But in reality you are not leaning with your hand, you are pointing with your hand, and so the closest 1:1 mapping between movements is uninverted mouse controls.
Also I don’t know what “roll to the left” means here at all. You’d need to draw a diagram or something if you wanted me to understand that part. Your words alone are not enough to convey it.
