    I love Spyro to bits but that game/camera style makes me motion sick something fierce. Can we get a compromise?

      Look at how some of my examples are 2D, motion style is not really core to my point. Many variants of fixed-camera, top-down, sidescroller, even static/semi-static art are possible.

      I mean I guess if you make a cool skybox like that you’ll want players to be able to look at it somewhat freely. Is it specific to flying/camera speed or any 3rd-person game? 1st-person? Can settings help, or is this something that would not work with faster-paced games?

      I do see that less motion seems to help, one person said higher FOV+big display with distance (among other non-digital things)… though I don’t think I’ve ever had motion sickness from a game (though I think I do have some issue related to inner ear) so I can’t be sure.

      I know personally if I’m able to make anything, it’ll probably be on the smoother/simpler side. For example, I made a simple character controller and adding view bob never entered my mind. Probably no filters either.
