Always Dash Option
Added 2023-08-13 13:27:44 +0000 UTCA topic that came up at the start of the development but that I put off because I wanted a larger playerbase to poll from to make a decision. So, usually when you press Shift you will dash (move with increased movement speed). In the options menu you can turn this option on and then you will always be dashind and pressing Shift will make you stop dashing and this decrease your movement speed.
So the question here is: What's your setting for this option?
Of course the underlying goal of the poll is to evaluate what the default option should be, but also if it turns out nobody wants to ever move at a slower speed if we even need this option and "dash" as a functionality at all. Removing dash in return would free up the Shift key/X button on the gamepad for other functionality (like favorite item or something like that).
But before I get ahead of myself here, let's first check the results of the poll.

When I play on the laptop(usually on Android), I like the shift to run option so I don't overshoot what I'm doing. Maybe look into apro/con system for Sprint vs walk? Providing there isn't already one

2023-08-13 22:52:24 +0000 UTCI definitely want the option to press shift to run. I feel it helps with immersion, I don't run everywhere, it's a choice for me when to do it or not. Pressing that button for shift is that choice to run instead of not.

2023-08-13 15:20:08 +0000 UTCI'll probably be in the minority, but my muscle memory is too fixed on 'hold this button to move faster' for me to try changing it now.

2023-08-13 13:34:46 +0000 UTCIn every RPGmaker style game I feel like its better to selectively walk rather than run
