In Right Click to Necromance the attention span of a player is not sustained by the affirmation of a goal they reach towards. Instead it relies on the fascination of an ever increasing army. Kill some enemies on screen, raise them from the dead, your army is now one third larger than it was before. Now rinse, repeat, and continue because the game never stops, it only becomes more difficult to maintain your mass of rampant infantry.
I thought I would only sit down and play the game for 20 minutes at the most, but an hour later I was still clicking away in hopes that I could somehow make my army larger. There was something about the idea of seeing the number of people I had control over increase on the screen that made me stay longer than I expected, and since the game does not have a goal for players to progress towards, the journey is neverending.
Game design has become much more diverse with the rise of small games on sites such as Game Jolt, itch.io, and Kongregate as well. For every Emily is Away and Animal Inspector, there is a From Orchids to Dust and Right Click to Necromance. These sites are not primarily for products to be sold as Steam and console storefronts are, instead they provide a place where people can share their ideas and new thinking. So, if neither game concepts (playing without a sovereign goal in mind and the human fascination with increasing numbers) are new, then why did this game by Juicy Beast connect with me so much? It is because experiences designed to derive pleasure from numbers increasing is becoming integrated in our lives outside of games by an increasing rate.
Games are designed with all aspects of our lives (business, education, and social) in mind to make us interact with other individuals and media more often. Our self-esteem depends on how many people see our pictures posted on Facebook or how many times a tweet was favorited. There are apps and websites that consumers can buy in order to increase and track their followers on specific websites. It starts to bleed into our other activities too with social websites documenting the activities we take a part of in our day to day lives. Letterboxd wants to know the movies you watch, Lifebar wants to know about the games, and Swarm wants to know where you go throughout your day. Even Dating apps like The Grade want us to judge other individuals based off of numbers that translate to a grade.
We should not look at our contemporary gamified culture with extreme negativity, especially as it only becomes more integrated within our culture. The idea of being communicative and social about our activities is not an inherently bad idea, but it is healthy to view these with a certain amount of skepticism at the same time. For every photo one shares with their friends, they should also be aware about what information is being communicated and who is receiving it. We also should ensure that numbers do not make up our being entirely or else in the end we only become a number ourselves. Just like the little soldiers in Right Click to Necromance we are identified as a number creating a larger mass, only as a means and never as an individual. Also, we die and come back, a lot.
It can be a nice little feature for new players, but in my opinion there are no benefits in using the action camera, especially if you're playing professions that have to aim ground-targeted skills like grenade kit engineer, shortbow thief, staff necromancer etc. In general the action camera limits not only your aiming, but also your awareness.
Ideally that would allow using the crosshair as a right click camera toggle with guaranteed cursor position, and rudimentary aiming of certain skills while still playing at max zoomed out with max fov and standard targeting mechanics.
Of course for professions with excessive ground targeting skills this still isn't an option as you'd need very fluid keybinds for toggle on/off crosshair and each ground target skill to use with the normal cursor (I can do this easily with blink etc from years of having done it this way, but for this reason I'd never play a staff necro or something because it's too awkward to toggle on/off the crosshair that often for all the ground targeting).
"Disable action camera" in options already does most of this. It changes it to a "Hold key" mode and does not move your camera, allowing for specific skills to be used while holding it. Very underused and underrated key IMO since most people wouldn't think to try "Disabling" a mode they already don't use. I use it all the time and have it bound to shift for specific skills. Like Staff 5 on Revenant with action camera is very good, or when I want sword 4 to follow a specific area to hit multiple people ( Default it tries to turn and center on your target, AC you can "edge" it to hit two people further apart ).
The biggest problem is inconsistency. Many skills function differently with action camera for no real reason, sometimes for the better but most times for the worse and I think that's why most people don't use it in addition to the fact that it's hidden in the UI. Also why I don't use it by default and have it on toggle.
So in essence it is mimicking a similar function as holding right click (rather than toggling), but instead with a selectable keybind (ie can be bound to left shift or something) that provides similar function with the added crosshair?
I think for me I would probably have this inverted - because with the (stripped down) autohotkey combat mode I tend to prefer the crosshair on most of the time, only toggling it off for ground targeted skills and occasionally to select a target with the cursor.
The other thing with action camera I need to ask - is it possible to bind right click to weapon skill 2? Been a while since I tested it so can't remember, and that's what I currently use with autohotkey (left click auto attack, right click skill 2).
I like it but I wish it was more polished. I use it but keep the option to disable it fast. The main problem with it right now, is that it's sometimes too clunky while trying to target a single enemy with other really close to it. This is especially frustrating against mesmer in pvp while they hide behind clones and you've to quickly select them from distance, but action camera selection becomes weird and pick wrong target even if you are correctly clicking on the right enemy. It doesn't happen a lot but it happens. For the rest I use it because I simply like the action cam playstyle. Also with bows, rifle, staff etc all weapons that hit at distance with projectiles you can rightly attack in specific place even without the enemy targetted and a lot of times is usefull when enemy is hiding behind objects to precast an attack in a specific place while waiting for him to move away from the object thous attacking him without line of sight in the moment of the cast time.
I use it a lot in races, and some JPs. It's a better way of moving the camera and rotating the character than having to hold a button all the time.I also find it better for aiming the rock at the gong in that mini-dungeon in Caledon with the Hylek (forgot the name).For combat i rarely use it. I used to play around with it in engineer back when you could see the kit weapons in first person mode, but now i rarely use it for combat.
The action camera is a direct downgrade to PvP effectiveness given how so many of the most powerful (low-effort/unfair/instant) skills in the game are entirely target-dependent, and therefore it's much more effective to be able to swivel one's FoV around the avatar in order to target things or place AoE hazards behind you while facing the other direction. Wildstar is the only MMORPG that has ever properly utilized an "action-camera" well because all of its attacks are direction-based and only a very few number of abilities require a selected target in order to function (most of which typically aren't even taken due to how clunky it is to use them). GW2 would need to completely overhaul its gameplay and skills in order to for the action camera to be anything other than some novelty.

however, it is extremely usefull in situations in which hammer 1 of the revenant or staff 1 of the elementalist wouldn't hit a target on walls for example.so if i do not tab target something (important, i must not have a target tabbed) and aim the action cameras crosshair towards the upper end of the hitbox of whatever i want to hit (siege, players, npcs) and press 1 as long as something of the hitbox is visible, BAM!... tabbing the target without actioncam would result in an "obstructed", using the action cam does not.this method is "exploitable" in various situations. using an omega golem on a gate/wall that is constantly being bubbled? reflects on them? most players will shoot into the bubble/reflect, because tabbing the target will result in the projectile flying towards the middle of the hitbox. me, using the action cam here... well, i dont care, i aim towards the free space, where no bubble/reflect is, and enjoy my dmg numbers.
there are more situations in which using the actioncam is a lot easier for me while using certain skills:elixir gun 4 on engineer, rev riposting shadows, elementalist fire staff 4 - to name a few -i have big time issues using the "turn camera + left mouse click" key to do a forward dodge with riposting shadows. with the action camera i can do it, still not as smooth as it could work with the turn camera command, but good enough to escape/stunbreak out of stuff and gain distance.but that is when a hotkey to enable/disable the action cam is important, because teleports such as rev sword 5 or rev phase traversal do not function on targets that are not in range to use the skill, while the action cam is activated. hence chasing a target/running away with phase traversal is only possible, when action cam is disabled.
