    Everything is looking awesome guys. Can't wait to get may hands on alpha later this month. But here is my question: while watching today I felt it could get really easy to get lost on the map. Scrolling around the planet, up, down, left, right, etc. it may be hard to keep north pointing up, or what not. This will affect gameplay to where I could actually get lost on the map momentarily. How do you expect to combat this issue? Are you going to keep axes locked so you can't pass them? And if this is already been asked, and you know where the thread is, just post the link and I'll be happy. Thanks.

    They said that the camera is not even being worked on yet several times. I'm sure they will fix it by the time the game comes out(retail not alpha)

    Ah, that's what they meant by that. Have they made in indications on how they are thinking about handling it?

    Neutrino (a dev) said he was spending basically every waking minute thinking about how the camera will work, so don't worry about it.

    Oh good. Well, I hope he can get it figured out. I wonder if he has a thread up for suggestions at all?

    We'll be giving more context markers to help it make sense. Camera needs a lot of work.

    If i remember correctly, Neutrino said it will be similar to GoogleEarth in a previous topic.

    Hmm, haven't played with google earth for a long time. I'll go see how that experience is.
