ugh. I have an idea for a game and I don't know if it'll work and to find out I'd basically have to make the whole game, which would be technically tricky. I don't think I can easily prototype this at all, and I really don't want to spend a week coding a non-game

Can you describe the Mechanics?

basically I want to build a game out of 3D Movie Maker's camera system, by changing the controls to let you move a character around the world, and have the camera change to match as you move around. basically making a game like the original Resident Evil with the fixed camera angles?

That sounds very interesting actually

I know, right? if it works, it'd be very neat. but I'm just worried I'll spend many hours finding out that it doesn't work, and the camera angles aren't in good positions to make this work

then I have an idea for how to make a game on top of that, but I can't really make the game unless the above works

I think I can fake it in, like, a godot project: use some off-the-shelf biped instead of the 3dmm actors, and have some code to load the camera angles out of the exported camera chunks from 3DMM + the exported backgrounds
