"Inside" style game camera

[Amba22x]

Hi everyone

Straight to the point

How to implement a camera like in the “Inside” game?
Here gameplay video: INSIDE FULL Gameplay Walkthrough [1080p HD] - No Commentary - YouTube

Camera transform and other parameters changing while player moving around for good angles/hints/gameplay features etc

Only idea i have is camera sequence, but maybe i wrong?
Thank you for any help

Hi Amba,

One option would be to use a spline-based system. Community Tutorial With ‘Find Closest to World Location’ on spline being the key function here.

I think that way you’d have maximum control over camera for dat artistic framing.

I love INSIDE, did you know the studio (Playdead) is using Unreal Engine for their next project?!

It’s easy to make it always look at the player, and follow along. But you’ll discover that there are a few problems with things getting in the way, and switching scenes etc…

How to make side scroller camera like Playdead's Inside?

How would you script a camera like the one from Inside? Guessing it goes on a spline parallel with a spline the character’s on, but how does it move independently of the character, sometimes moving farther left and sometimes farther right than the character? The camera can also move in or out at certain points as the character walks forward, and the camera movement is reversed if the character walks backward.

A couple of different approaches.
