50 game camera mistakes

First experiment

• Camera position follows the car, ignoring its rotation/tilt.
• Camera looks at the car (the looking follows rotation/tilt).
• Camera looks a bit to the left or to the right of the center of the car, depending on force direction.

Result: feels nice, but doesn't make force direction intuitively obvious.

Second experiment

• Camera follows the car itself strictly, only without roll. I.e. it shifts together with the car.
• Camera looks a bit to the left or to the right in accord to force direction.

Result: feels bad, makes force direction even harder to feel intuitively.

Conclusion for now: it's not possible to indicate force direction purely with camera. Therefor:

• Indicate it in some other way.
• Regarding camera, focus only on making it pleasant.
