Camera Update

Right, so the rotations are fixed. The issue lie in how the offset rotation was added to the base input. In short, this is how it works: MainCamera is the one that renders the image. BCamera is the desired position and rotation. We use a lerp to make MainCamera's position the same as BCamera over a second or so, and make it move to that position in a panning motion. We can do the same for the rotation, but that caused problems. Below you ca see the code for the old rotation c

Next up: Camera

Now that the audio's loading is way more distributed, I'm tackling the problems occurring with the camera: It's broken. Somehow the system likes to rotate 90 degrees every now and then, soft-locking the game, as the player can't access the object required to continue. What I'm gonna do is go trough all the camera-related code and try to find a way to organize it. Every function and how they relate to each other, mapped out, as well as the WorldSwitch system. I hope to find th

Restarting development: Audio

First thing we'll do is handle how audio is loaded. The current game starts by loading in every single song that will be used, which isn't a problem in Windows, but is on Android. The loading times can be as long as 60+ seconds. The benefit is that, once playing, the loading is very fast. However, compared to adding 5 seconds per loading screen, I'd like for the game to start up a bit faster. Hence I need to overhaul how audio is loaded and unloaded (the songs), but also the
