So I just installed Skyline, and I'm looking at the RPG game template since it is the closest to what I want to do. I have a little play.
Problems:
It took me a while to figure out what I needed to do to change the camera mode since there are about 4 character based cameras. It might be a good idea to remove all the spare ones.
The "Adventure" camera mode is useless. If you turn 90 degrees and move forward, the character more or less just walks out of your field of view. You cannot see where it is going and it is very likely to walk off the edge of a platform or into a monster's view range. The camera will not change position until the character moves.
I switched to "chase" mode. The camera was a little close so I changed the position settings to "0 4 -2". Now when you start the game, the camera swoops into the character, rotates around until it is behind here, then moves back, and back, and bac until the scenery obscures the character.
You can't look up or down. I'm sure this is achievable, but I cannot find where the controls are to make the character look up or down, or how to add them, or how to set up any sort of control between the mouse/keys and the camera. In fact while mouse input is clearly working, and I can see where the keybinds are set up, I cannot see where mouse control is defined.
The character weapon damage doesn't seem to work. I walked up to one of the mobs, facing it, and clicked the mouse to make the character swing the sword until it collapsed and died from enemy damage. The mob's health bar was still on full.
I couldn't find out how to close the current scene to reload cleanly. After my third time of loading a scene on top of an already open scene, Skyline crashed. How do I get/submit a core dump?
