In this dev diary I talk about how the camera works in Neverending Nightmares as well as provide some general tips for game cameras.

Very interesting, thanks. Speaking of the enemy encounters, it did seem to "rubber-band" the camera back towards the closet a bit too quickly as the enemy leaves the "camera-relevant area" while hiding. It doesn't give whiplash or anything, but since you can probably adjust the "spring" and its pulling strength/speed, perhaps make that bit a wee bit slower? Dunno.

If I slow down the camera spring, then it wouldn't spring towards the enemy fast enough when necessary. I can try to tune things, but there are a lot of factors, so it is complicated. I'll make a note to revisit it when I get a chance.
