Mechanic Suggestion: Free Camera

Hey, I was playing another NSFW game that allowed a free camera during Hscenes. So essentially they had what you already have where you can freely move the camera around a fixed point during sex scenes allowing for zooming in and such, BUT they also would allow you to hold the middle click to change the focus point your rotating around. So you can essentially bring it anywhere, like you're in blender, but they had a barrier around the room so the camera couldn't leave the room. This is something I'd love to see brought to your game since I feel the focal point of sex scenes is always too high or can sometimes be awkwardly angled depending on the scene. I don't know crap about game design so if this sounds like a terribly hard thing to do maybe shelf it for a future update when you're not focused on other things. Maybe it would be easier to just allow the player to shift the focal point on a fixed plane up or down since its a little too high sometimes? Anyways, love the game, looking forward to everything you do with it!

Hey again!

That's an amazing idea. I recognize that my current sex cam is very awkward, since it's the same as the regular 3d cam. So I was thinking of how to improve it. I was thinking of a free floating cam as well or something similar... Your suggestion sounds interesting tho. Can you tell me what game it was? Maybe I can take inspiration from it hehe

Also, any suggestion you have is ok. The priority is to make the game better for everyone, so don't worry if it's a little bit hard for me to implement. After all, this is my job, and I really love doing it :D

Makes me happy you're so willing! The game was Seed of the Dead Sweet Home, its essentially Left 4 Dead with anime girls (and hentai by proxy lol) If you plan on playing it yourself its on steam, does cost money, AND you have to apply a patch to put the R18 content back in the game, along with removing mosaics. But when you do, you can achieve new scenes by giving your partners gifts and having "intimicy events". And yeah in those events the camera is pretty free, allowing you to rotate, zoom, and pan. You have options for certain focal points like breasts, head, or hips as starting points as well. Def a good game for inspiration!

From what I'm seeing, I really enjoy the floating cam. Also SotD seems to have very nice animation state transitions. And I really like the UI. You are right, it definitely is very good for inspiration.

 I'm working on implementing a similar camera on my game now, and it really makes the sex scenes way more interesting :v


Again, I thought it would be very hard to code, but I found a plugin for floating cam controllers on the store. 

Still need to solve some issues, but seems good so far :D

I'll keep you updated.

Oh thats already amazing, really brings the scenes to a new level! Super cool how fast you're implementing this stuff, can't wait to try it out in-game and I'll let ya know if I have anymore suggestions! Until then, keep up the great work 馃憦
