Throughout this quarter I've gone back and forth between first and third person controllers. A third person controller feels very grounded in the space, which I feel is very helpful when the game-play tends more towards platformers. You also get a better sense for who the character you're playing as is because you see them and their behaviors.
However a first person controller has disembodied quality to it that I think shifts the player's focus to the space and exploration. Although there are important platforming elements in this game, I believe the awareness of the environment and looking at it from different perspectives are more important elements. For now I have settled on first person, but there is a possibility that may change again as the game develops.
