Moving the camera or not in a game can make the player pay more or less attention to it. And that's why riding through the pampas(grasslands) just got better and more immersive with Gaucho and the Grassland's 360° free rotation camera.
The game, which is inspired by several other games such as Animal Crossing for example, followed the traditional line of farming games with a fixed camera, but even considering that despite doing a good job presenting the game world to the players, the fixed camera was not having an interesting differential for the final version.
With the change in the format from fixed to 360º, the player has greater freedom when exploring the mysteries of the universe, building the ranch, taking care of the animals and has greater control when it comes to customization, whether by mouse or joystick.
The change
After listening to the public, the idea came up to change the game's camera restriction and thus develop the 360º orbital camera around the character.
Some feedback was received and along with our own questions it was decided that the camera controls should be more immersive and interesting.
Tests will start in the next demos and it will be possible to see how the public will interact with this type of camera instead of the fixed version.
The next step was to adjust the camera so that it could rotate freely, thus giving players maximum freedom to explore the pampas and other future biomes in the game.
This camera behaviour also applies to indoor environments, maintaining freedom of exploration and avoiding that occasional annoying object that blocks your vision and makes life difficult.
You can test this update in the next demo and leave your feedback, remembering that your feedback is very important for our updates to be even better in the future.
