Question
I make a pet game. It consists of a dog that sleeps infront of a fire and sometimes does funny things. E.g. I want the user to be able to throw a ball across the screen and the dog fetches it.
My current setup consists of a maximized borderless, transparent bg etc. window and on each click I check if the pixel I clicked at has alpha = 1 and control click passthrough accordingly. This way, you can still work while the dog walks around but also you can click the dog etc.
Anyway, point is: 1 window, maximized.
The question now is, how I handle cameras and everything. I have these requirements
- The fireplace with dog needs to look good/have a good perspective.
- If we drag around the fireplace, it should look the same everywhere.
- Maybe you want the user to be able to rotate the fireplace.
- If the dog walks around, it needs to look good.
- If we throw e.g. the ball, it needs to look good.
Now this is my first game, so I lack experience in this and hence it’s hard to judge the correct approach. Maybe I should make one big orthogonal camera but who says I can make the fireplace look good this way? Maybe I should place a cam for the fireplace alone and render it to a rect2D, same with the ball and what not but then: How do you make the dog walk smoothly between the things? etc. etc. Many questions.
Any tips on how I can approach this is appreciated. 
Here’s a screenshot, so you get an idea of what I talk about
