tbh i'm kind of surprised how receptive people are to a free mouse mode in block game (at least as a toggle) and everyone didn't go "ew are you kidding me?

@eniko Vintage Story does that (albeit in a bit weird fashion), and it's indeed a fun thing

One particular case is when you're standing in your storage area, open several chests at once, and craft something, all without turning your head

@lisyarus how does it work in VS?

[lisyarus@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@eniko Normally the mouse rotates the camera, but you can hold Alt and it switches to fixed camera mode, with the cursor being like a normal one

When interacting with most things (workstations /chests/ect), it reverses everything: camera is fixed, a normal cursor is there, but holding Alt lets you rotate the camera

@lisyarus @eniko OT but I initially read this post out of context and imagined an actual mouse the animal operating a small camera, wondering what this was all about
