Rotate Camera?

[MrMordekaiser]

Heyo was just wondering what the button is to turn my camera around so i can see from different angles?

[it's a gabe]

There's no camera rotation. The world is a 2D, isometric environment with a lot of 2D objects. There are 3D objects and characters themselves are 3D, but the world is composed of 2D assets.

TBH being 2D doesnt invalidate the chance of rotate, as if you develop all 4 angles per item you can easily provide different views that should feel like rotations... You can check games like that.. one not too old is shadow tactics, while they use pre-rendered 3D models for most stuff, at the end there is no difference between that and this one... I think remembering other such Wild terra also haderotation option being totally 2D.

Now Zomboid uses 3d models for characters, maybe they could consider a rotation option... probably only a couple of elements such certain furniture would require a bit of work, but most modular assets already have all the elements needed for add such a thing.

As far as I'm aware (if anyone knows better, please correct me) it's a limitation of the engine the game is on, and that's it's not something that's possible.

I know. I mean, The Sims did it... what, over 20 years ago? But the question was, can the camera be rotated right now? And the answer to that is, no it cannot. Part of the reason is that the game uses 2D assets 🤷‍♂️ I didn't say that to imply that it's impossible, but rather that it's not as simple as it would be if the environments were fully 3D.

I think the devs should use 3D models, and just create a system to convert them to sprites, in order to keep the pixelated feel. It would make the game far more easy to mod IMO. It would also allow the game to still be orthorgraphic, and rotatable

The perfect example for this is V Rising

i think before this have camera rotation like commandos 2. but ok. if do not have i still can play
