Crimson Tactics Devlog #083

Increasing the game’s speed and pacing was a highly requested feature during our previous beta. Hotkeys functionality has been added to the game and is also reflected in the UI. We plan on expanding this feature further but in its current state, it is greatly improving the game’s flow.

Action Panel Hotkeys

The Action Panel can now be accessed with Hotkeys. The numbers on the keyboard correspond to each option on the screen and ‘Tab’ is used to go back and for ‘End Turn’. These numbers are clearly visible on each button. Keep an eye on the Action Panel in the top-left corner.

Game Speed Hotkeys

The Game Speed can be changed using Hotkeys. The ‘<' button reduces the speed whereas '>’ increases it. Continuously tapping just one of these buttons also allows the speed to be cycled back. Keep an eye on the Game Speed in the top-right corner.

Menu Hotkeys

Pages and tabs in different menus can be changed with Hotkeys. Different menus have different tabs/pages so the controls differ for each one. This information is always reflected in the bottom bar.
