Finally got around to record me playing Hardmode Yk'Voz(Killing zero masks)
Sure, I might have done it with an extremely buffed Evelyn, but I'm just glad I made it😁

This is really cool!
You have a lot of pieces coming together for this
How do you handle the character's facing? It looks like they face camera direction sometimes, but not always.
queen sphinx
Thanks!
Ah, yea I handle the rotation by detecting enemies within a specific distance, and at that point rotate toward enemies instead of camera rotation. But the mouse "Drag" distance can also disjoint the softlock by looking away from the target(this disjoint happens easier the closer to the outer perimeter you are)

Oh I get it. The further away from the enemy, the weaker the camera lock
That had to take forever to get right
Camera work is so much more difficult than many people realize

Yea! It really is. It took about a month or two i think, to get it all right. It is still not perfect, but it feels good

It looks amazing! Was it difficult sorting out multiple enemies?
I imagine a "bokoblin" like encounter of ~5 enemies would be worst case

Thanks! Not really. I have built the mechanics in a way to allow for you to fight multiple enemies at once 😁

How does the camera know which enemy to target?
queen sphinx
Im actually almost at the point on my todo list to create a "camp blueprint" which assigns position and props + a locked treasure chest around the place you put the BP in the world

How does the camera know which enemy to target?
There is a weighted priority list
Checking for a bunch of parameters, such as class level(minion, captain, boss etc)
Where distance carries the most weight
It also take into account your camera look direction
languid iris
That sounds like a smart way to do it!
