The designers figure out how the camera needs to behave for the intended player experience and then the engineers figure out how to translate those behavior rules into code. Let's say that we're working on the camera functionality for in-game cinematics for a narrative-heavy AAA game like the Witcher or Dragon Age.

Friends, we have a really big problem. We just released our game, and unlike the Android version, we’re getting feedback that the game overheats excessively on iOS. The core logic is the same, but the problem only occurs on iOS. Here’s the current screen built with Xcode. As you can see, the battery impact is marked as very high. The shocking thing is… even if we build a new empty project, the battery impact still shows as very high on iOS… We are currently using Cocos Creator version 3.
