No amount of game design is going to tell someone that the F key does a thing.
The EXPLANATION of a game mechanic, what it is for and how it should be used, should be done though level design rather than text. Telling the player the keybinding in order to do said mechanic is in many games necessary and unavoidable.

>Telling the player the keybinding in order to do said mechanic is in many games necessary and unavoidable. There's clever/subtle ways to do it though, I guess that's what I should have said.

nTh for who the fuck is stupid enough to use frameworks instead of an engine?

So what I put some graffiti on a wall in-game that says WASD to move. Since I'm not actually telling the player via a text box, would that make it better for immersion?

Or just put a screen with the controls and instructions before the game begin and get done with it so you don't interrupt the player mid-game or add retarded graffiti saying "WASD TO MOVE XD", Jesus.

Have fun doing it in a way which allows for rebinded keys and alternate control schemes.
Even HL2 which is held up as the bastion of teaching through level design has key prompts appear.
