I am also unsure if this is the right place to post this, but the one I thought would be the right one is locked, and Bingo675's recent post in this thread was related, so I thought I'd add my two cents here. Let me say that I am really looking forward to this game, the Banjo Kazooie games were great back in the day, and I miss great platformers like these as they seem to be few and far in between anymore. I really enjoyed being able to try things out in the Toybox, and overall it made me more excited for the finished product. That said, I did have issue with the camera, always seeming to think it knew better than I did where I wanted it. Maybe it's just me and/or the way I play, but it felt like when I zoomed out, the camera never stayed zoomed out where I had just put it. When I tried to put the camera on Yooka and Laylee's side, as soon as I started moving, it pivoted back to where it was behind them again, whether I want it to or not. This was especially frustrating in the part where I was trying to roll the big pink ball up the ramp. It took me forever to do this because the camera would rotate back behind them, and then the direction I'm pressing the joystick would be different in relation to the world and thus the way I was going. This resulted in the ball repeatedly falling off the side of the ramp and what I thought should be a relatively quick and easy part of the game took forever! Another place this made things difficult was where you have to roll up the blue ramps that wrap around the yellow hill? mountain? whatever. This was really my only real gripe with the Toybox experience, which I realize is still pre-alpha, but I hope there will be another mode or some way of addressing this in the final product! Otherwise, looks like it's coming along very nicely! Can't wait to see the full game! Keep up the good work there at Playtonic, and please address this camera issue!
