Help using OVRCameraController w/ rotating character
This is an issue within the OVRCamera script, because when I disable it on both the left and right cameras, the player's rotational movement returns to normal and the two cameras stay locked to the player, just like the original main camera did.
The problem finally solved by the creator and the solution script inside the post.

Game Design Document
Game Design Document, a good reference site for preparing the game document.
Once upon a time, when coding a game involved one programmer (and maybe an artist) with a take-it-as-you-go budget and a loose deadline, documentation didn't need to be taken so seriously. You knew what you wanted to make and you made it. If there were a few major changes along the way, the only one to complain was you. Nowadays, a thorough and readable document can mean the difference between a swift descent to budgetless Hell and a smooth ride to shrinked-wrapped Nirvana.

2CaT: A Framework for Applied Game Design
I was rummaging through my files and came across this outdated paper that I never published and thought I would place it HERE. This represents one my earliest attempts to create a what I now call the 2CaT (content, context and transfer) model which forms an important part of my Applied Game Design scope model. I have used this method since 2006 to good effect in the design and development of both entertainment and serious games.
