Wouldn't have to be outdoor areas, could be when you're walking though the hallways between offices you investigate or something! 👀
But excited to see how this develops regardless!

Depending on if you have indoor/outdoor spaces or sections where you just move from one place to another you could to third person then!
Could tie the perspective shift to entering doors or buildings 🤔
Shame to loose out on the glorious stache, haha!

Honestly I'm not sure, I like that it's just kinda done now, haha!
But Purified used to be Vita exclusive too, so maybe I'll wake up one day and release a port 👀
Until the competition is over it has to be exclusive though!

For my Vita stuff I use a very old version of Unity actually, there was this brief period where they supported it, haha!
Though I've been meaning to move fully to Godot 🦾

Currently at:
— only buy tech too old to have AI built in
— painstakingly disable AI every time they add it to something that used to work perfectly well
— if it can't be switched off, abandon the platform or tool
— if there are no good alternatives, avoid the AI parts
— patiently wait for the crash

Hell yeah, I still regularly wear my old Deathbonus hoodie.
And people still regularly ask what the band is, haha!
An extra one couldn't hurt I guess 👀
