(there's a couple approaches you could take for this, and a lot of optimisations possible for each part, so take this more as a general 'approach' than a specific step-by-step!)

With how many layoffs weโ€™ve had over the past several years, remote work should be the default. Requiring relocation at this point is unreasonable for the risk that weโ€™re just going to get laid off two months, six months, a year in.

I've spent *years* researching 3D Platformer Cameras in hopes of making Slime 64's camera "not terrible."

In this thread, the White Cylinder is the Camera Target (slightly above the player!), and the Orange Cones represent the "vertical dead zone" where the camera won't follow player movement.

A Magic School's gotta have students! In classic prep school fashion they adhear to a uniform dress code, but also have to stand out amongst their peers. We also needed to signify different levels of student education.

One of the main things you do in Mind Over Magic is build your school. I prototyped the look and built out all of the FX and shader for our construction fx. Higher res videos below!

A wonky magic school needs a staff to match. In #MindOverMagic Humans, cultists, wolfkin, sentient stitched together fleshbeings and magical crystal people all working together in harmony! So fun to design, and they're even cooler in game.
