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

maybe I can heavily fake it for a prototype

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

ugh godot might make this hard because of the 3D trickery we'd need to be doing with the background. I've loaded the backgrounds before (they have a pre-rendered zbuffer, to make them act like they're 3D), but that was in some manual OpenGL
