Controllers for Stardew Valley and Frogger

 


Hello all! I have made 3 concepts for a controller for Stardew Valley and 3 concepts for a controller for Frogger. While Stardew Valley holds more of a place in my heart, Frogger was one of those games I've enjoyed in the past, and it seems like a simple game to make a controller for as well. For Stardew Valley, the first concept is a sword with a motion sensor and a photo sensor that determines movement and interacting. If the photo sensor were to be blocked and if the player swung, they would interact with the current tool they have selected. The same concepts could be applied to the second and third sketches, with a potentiometer to cycle through the choices. The Frogger controllers use a potentiometer or tilt based movement to go left and right, and when they're shaken, the frog leaps forward. Using motion controls would further immerse the player into the game and allow them to focus more on proceeding through the levels. I would like feedback on the aesthetic of the designs for these controllers, and I would also like feedback on how I could potentially move the frogs left and right without using a potentiometer.
