Gorgeous visuals. Would love to know where you got your assets from. Gameplay significantly let down by the camera angle though. If it helps, the way I set up Cinemachine for Flora and the Lost letters was:

  • Cinemachine -> Cinemachine Camera
  • Position Control -> Orbital Follow
  • Rotation Control -> Rotation Composer
  • Add component -> Cinemachine Input Axis Controller
  • Adjust target tracking, damping, offset, etc. as desired

This allows you to have a 3rd person camera controlled using the mouse without any code.

I love the setting and the biking around! But the camera is really weird a little bit, which makes it harder to control and see where to go and makes it significantly harder than it was meant to be. It’s good to have some challenge and even get stuck in some rocks just for a little bit, but I think it would need some more polishing. Really lovely to bike in the island though. It make me almost wish to pick up my bicycle. (I’d probably just fall off immediatelly though as soon as it went on sand).
