**Important!** When dragging your player character into your level, remember to set "Auto Possess Player" to "Player 0" in the player character blueprint settings on the right. This will make sure the game uses the placed character instead of spawning a new character.


This is a camera system that is designed to improve the gameplay of your 2D or 2.5D game. Is adds customizable camera movements that lead the player and provide a better view of where the player is headed. Is also gives you the ability to easily and seamlessly switch to external cameras, each with their own adjustable settings. It also fixes FOV settings on ultra wide monitors, so that the view isn't cropped when viewed on wider aspect ratio monitors.

It also provides features to manage depth movements for games like Little Nightmares, where you can move left and right and also toward and away from the camera.
