this is one of those weird cases where problems might actually just "take care of themselves" in 3D because in 2D space a generalized control angle would be incomprehensible to your average person (myself included) but in first person, it feels very intuitive... at least in my head.

It's been a while since I actually worked on that game and now I'm realizing that some of the "technical jank" was actually intentional design choices and I had a very good reason for writing the code how I did.

I basically had to design 4 different control schemes for 4 possible directions in 2D space and not having it "generalized" to every possible angle was intentional because that would be impossible for the player to understand. Now I need to figure out if 3D first person changes that or if I need to lock control schemes to a cube setup with one of 6 possible directions.

Honestly the latter feels way more jank but it might not matter if the level design is done correctly.
