Camera

This video showcases the camera system created for RotA. It specifically showcases the camera following the player (which works for multiple players), following the payload, as well as the smooth changes to the camera's rotation using different triggers.

What this video does not show is the variable camera zoom for multiple players purely because I was recording this solo.

This video shows the advanced movement that I implemented as well as the boss and boss trigger that I created.

This video also shows the boss second phase that is activated when the boss reaches a certain amount of health as well as the boss dialogue system I implemented.
