--- Quote from: JamIt on June 22, 2005, 05:39:50 pm ---...Just an FYI, (I'm sure you are aware of this and if so please forgive), but it looks like player 3 will have to play with right arm pointing inward and player 4 with arm pointing outward. Again, probably not too uncomfortable and probably planned, but I just wanted to (hopefully in a helpful tone) point that out to you. --- End quote --- I felt that the 26 degree tilt of the 3rd and 4th player controls were at a comfortable angle on the mock-up. It's not the roomiest CP ever, but I wanted to keep the size down, and maximize the comfort for the more common 2-player matches. |

I cut my first CP with the controls too close to the edge and it was uncomfortable to play. --- End quote --- Now that's something I should probably take another look at. On the cardboard mock-up it didn't seem like much of a problem, with about 2 1/4" of space in front of the buttons, and a generous 3 1/2" around the sticks, but I could actually give it more without impacting the rest of the layout The compromise here is that moving the controls further back has an impact on 2-player 2-stick games. Of course, it's my arcade so I get to use the player one controls if I wanna. Elf and Wizard were meant to suffer a little if you ask me. Thanks to everyone for all the feedback and compliments so far! This project would be completely impossible without the BYOAC forums. |
