LVLUP 9×02: Camera, Control and Playable Character with Juan Fernández de Simón

Well, once again we are here trying to give some new brushstrokes about game design, in fact, after 8 episodes talking about this topic, with a lot of incredible guests to date, we could not neglect 3 of the main pillars of video game design. Perhaps many of our listeners know them, know about them, but since we are here to sharpen the pencil, today’s objective is to know how they relate to each other, what their interdependencies are and most importantly how we manage to create a unique identity for our video game by making the most convenient decisions. Today we are going to talk about the camera, the control and the playable character, their relationship with each other and how to achieve the best possible experience when they must coexist within our video game.
