I’m considering changing my North from +X to -Y, because if I want my compass North to == Top view UP (and thus less confusing), then it needs to be -Y.
Its likely just an arbitrary marking.
If it isn’t already, make compass north a blueprint you move around.
When you have north and true north like on earth. The 2 don’t need to match…
One thing to be aware of is that the Top View of the level editor is using +X east and +Y south. Artists and designers use this view a lot when tweaking levels.
And no, you cannot rotate the top view.
Level designers and artists are your emplyees/contractors.
They work how they are told to work.
There is 0 reason to make any BS consideration based on what you think others do.
Make them do what you want them to do instead.
If that means defining +X and +Y, then that’s what work works for you and your project.
Doesn’t mean it has to be the same for anyone else.
