I've been inspired by what I've seen of Super Mario Galaxy to create a planetoid gravity based platform engine, which is pretty damn impressive right now. The main problem I have is how disconcerting the view is when you are walking sideways or upsidedown on an object, something that is mostly dealt with via the camera angle.
What I need is to know if A) the viewport object for MMF has the ability to rotate the screen by an angle and display it, and B) Where I can find it if it does; the clickteam link to it is dead. The description says it can flip horizontally/vertically and doesn't mention rotation, which saddens me.
Also, ironically, I created an engine for exactly this sort of thing; http://www.create-games.com/download.asp?id=6767 but it can't handle backdrop objects, so it wouldn't be all that practical. I guess I could have every backdrop be an active object, but who knows how the system would handle it :/
