TheFourthFocus VP Newsletter #64
In this issue, a pre-baked photo mode demo could be set to give devs a boost, and the great Hideo Kojima weighs in with his thoughts on the art of virtual photography...
The number of photo mode-enable games from smaller developers might be about to increase thanks to a helpful new package from multi-platform game development engine, Unity.
Described as "a gateway for adding in-game photography systems to your PC & console Unity projects", this pre-fabricated setup can be used to conveniently add custom or stock photo mode tools to any game project. There is even a complete demo scene with UI ready to go should you wish to try it out using the free personal use license.
