Just like that, you can press Play and test the engine as much as you want. Notice that the Inputs list is toggled by pressing "Q".

Now, we want to customize FPS Engine, so navigate to the Player in the Hierarchy and select it, this will display all the components attached to the Player in the Inspector. Most of the customization for your player will be done here.
