    Does it actually do anything, at all? Right now it looks like pointless controls bloat.

    ...you can crouch?

    EDIT: Well I never really noticed it before, so I guess it is pretty useless. Looks like it makes you a few pixels shorter?

    It's nothing gameplay wise afaik but what else would S be used for? I've used it for reload a few times in shooters thinking I'm being clever but it seems it needs to be movement related. Perhaps it could be "interact with building" in the future but I don't see an issue with having a crouch frame.

    Maybe add crawling so you can go into 1 tile high spaces?

    I like this idea!
    But you shouldn't be able to dig whilst crawling (no room to swing a pick) so it'll only be useful for one block or so.

    Wtf Poe.

    Well, I think it should have some REAL crouch, which would give a cover but NOT allow going in one block high spaces.

    It's useful for humping now yes.

    I think prone and crawling would be very useful, especially if the actor graphics were scaled (-> prone actors would be ~7 pixels high - less than one tile as opposed to at least 11) as that'd let you hide behind grass as well. Ambushes, anyone?

    Crouching could always go a little lower than it does now, making it useful behind cover. (Assuming it changes your hitbox...)

    It would be nice to be able to dodge.

    Sometimes when I see an arrow coming towards me I press 's' to duck down instead of shielding. Doesn't do jack crap!

    Crouching is in the game to screw with our heads!

    It doesn't change your hitbox at all at the moment :P

    I think it'd be nice to be able to move up and down through bridges using crouch to move down.

    This would be kinda cool as things are now - doesn't fit so well with the proposed switch-operated bridges.

    Wierd? What? That's what it was implemented for! :)

    Actually, it would be neat if the down key was used for a taunt action.

    How doesn't it fit with the switch bridges? You might want to drop down from them at various points anyway.
