My Contributions

I was responsible for all the camera work you see inside gameplay. Setting events, positioning, zooming in and out, setting balanced screen shake, and toggling slow-mo at the proper time.

Binding events connected to the player, and gameplay to certain functions for code to be executed. These events trigger at certain game states and toggle certain camera locomotion.

The duel event was a big moment in Balls of Steel. It was you vs the AI in a spam battle.

 

I wanted to capture that uncontrollable button mashing by adding camera shake, and a focused zoom in on both characters in their big moment.

The function that sets the field of view to the desired position.

Camera work for when the AI, or player takes damage. 

  • The timelines ensure the zoom is gradual, but also impactful.

  • ​The camera position changes when the event is called, and reverts to its natural overview after the event nears its end.

When the player, or AI loses the match the camera goes into another unique state. This initiates slow-mo so our losing animation plays with impact, and the final winning blow has a lot of impact.
