Scope

Build a serverside Lua script (or lightweight agent) that acts as a cinematographer, cutting between camera angles based on game state.

Camera Angles

Angle Trigger Purpose
First-person Dialogue, reading notes, lockpicking Intimate moments
Third-person follow Walking, exploring, traveling Classic RPG camera
Wide establishing shot Entering new cell/region Show landscape, then push in
Reaction shot Spectator injection, combat ambush Close angle on Timmy's face

Requirements

  • State-machine logic: combat → tight tracking, dialogue → first-person, travel → wide shots
  • Smooth transitions between angles (no hard cuts unless dramatic)
  • Configurable trigger thresholds
  • Extensible to LLM-driven cinematography agent later

Deliverable

Director camera Lua script with state-based angle selection.
