What is your preferred keyboard button layout for playing fangames?

[OssieTheOstrich]

It kinda depends on what is the console style of the game.

If it's a NES/Gameboy styled experience, it's probably like:
Z: Run
X: Jump

If it's a SNES styled experience, then it's:
S: Run
Z: Jump
Z: Special (like spin jumping or something)

That said I do think that allowing the player to customise their controls is really a must have feature, as this thread obviously shows, people have different preferences for what is comfortable for them.

List of projects I eventually plan to finish after the indefinite hiatus is over, assuming I don't abruptly cancel them:

Spoiler

Mario's Rather Unusual Trilogy (Mario's slightly unusual Boss Rush (Completed), Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes (In development), Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier (In development))
Sonic's Foray into Random/Unusual Zones (spin-off of Unusual Trilogy, in development)
Angry Birds Slingshot Frenzy (In development)
Super Mario Flashback: Really Good Edition (In development)
Super Hilda DX (In only conceptual phase)

Yes, I am aware that I have about 6 or so fangame projects currently in development at the same time. And yes, I am also aware that all of this is very ambitious.

+ List of projects I'm helping out with in some small capacity during my hiatus:

Spoiler

Super Mario Bros Dimensions 2 (as a spriter, only for Mario's sprites)
MFGG Community Fangame Project 3 (as a spriter)
WordGirl ReWired (as a artist)
