Great summary! Also tagging @walaber.com cus I know he'd dig reading this.

The more against the current camera direction the player is moving, and the faster they are, the more quickly we adjust the camera direction. Gotta love dot products!

While we allow players to completely disable the autocam in the settings, usually people just want to make a slight correction. When the player manually adjusts the camera we disable autocam for a little while, to try and not fight the player's intentions. Input display in the lower left!

We also have a camera recenter button! For some people using the right stick all the time can be painful, and being able to recenter the camera with a single button press is very helpful.

Any tips for avoiding/reducing motion sickness with the lookahead functionality? I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with mine 😬

Definitely record a video if you're comfortable, but if you're able to manage the speed at which the lookahead moves, and how fast the camera blends from "no lookahead" to "full lookahead" it may help - I've found if the lookahead is too sensitive it can end up feeling super jerky

Thanks! How do you blend the positions? When I blend in world space I get issues with the player running straight into the camera and that in turn affecting the movement direction (i.e. causing flipping like in the video if unhandled).
