Better camera: full mouse look support! Take a look at the video with the new section of the city

Posted by on

This week we started working on a new section of the city and fixing a thousand bugs in the combat and camera code.
Marco is working hard to finish the core part of the city and then spend some time placing ornaments and little details. Here's some pretty shots of the city:



Camera improvements

One of the main complaints about the game is camera movement. It's one of the first features I worked on and still need some love. Everyone wants something different, so I wrote another camera style. It's similar to the one present in Dragon Age: Origins so many RPG lovers will feel like home :)

Here's some improvements inspired by your comments and critics:

  • Free look: you can now look up&down with the camera
  • Camera type #1: Move your character with W,S and rotate the camera with A,D keys.
  • Camera type #2: Move your character with W,A,S,D and camera will follow and auto-rotate.

Of course you will be able to choose which camera type you prefer in the game options.Other minor changes:

  • Move all characters using physics (fixed the character going through walls bug)
  • Mouse wheel to change camera distance
  • GUI updates and trying a different fonts

For some weird reason this reminds me of Redguard.
