More complex camera follow

[noidexe]

Right now you can choose between lock-on mode and differently sized deadzones. The problem with deadzones for platformer games is that since the character pushes against the deadzone, you see more of what's behind her than what's in front of her.

Itay Keren did a nice analysis of how different games implemented different camera modes and while some are very elaborate and game-specific, others a not too hard to implement and very useful for a big number of games.

Among the camera features he describes I think "platform-snapping" and "dual-forward-focus" could be very useful for action platformers.
