If you are working on a project that does not have a main character to follow and has free movement around the map/scene, then this is the solution for you. It is a great asset for game categories such as strategy or tycoon.

All examples below are tested some two even demonstrated in simple scenes provided with the asset!
General use cases:
- Top-down view with or without following a character (use demonstrated in package scene)
- Space Real time strategy with restricted movement bounds and cursor control (edge of playable screen, includes padding)
- Tycoon/Management type games
- Free spectator mode
- Follow player spectator mode (rotating around players)
- God mode (free mode without collision) & in-game debugging
Can also be used for (advance use - coding required):
- 3rd person camera (where player follows camera rotation)
Simple demo scenes included, but no extra 3D models or other assets!
Package features:
- For quick setup with drag & drop
- No coding is required for out of the box use
- Minimal coding is required for advance use
- More than 30 configuration fields
- In-Game Toggle Keys (enable, follow, collision)
