@DennyCloudhead @Tuism @triqona @nimSony I think "need" is a strong word here, or at least more movements can be tolerated by the inputs than you assume they might. I didn't do any experiments with a two handed attack, but one handed fireballs mixed with hand based movement already works pretty great

experimenting with some camera angles. i feel like a big weakness in vr is being unable to translate the relevant input the player is using (positional hand tracking) to a viewer in a video. i think alternative camera/spectator views are key for that (fpv is awful)
