There will be 360 camera in this game, on future right? Right?

if that were to happen it would mess up the game really bad, from the camera we have its giving the illusion that the game is 3d with 3D sprites, but if we were to have a 3D camera the sprites trees, bushes, characters,monsters, etc would be like flat stanley.

ohh i see , okayy

Naw there will not be a fully 3D camera. Yes basically as cyro said. The game is a mix of 2D and 3D, so rotating the game full 3D wouldn't quite work and would look really odd.

then at least add a function where if you were behind an object it should turn transparent in order to see whats in that spot.

as a coder myself i cant really see how to do this, ya i agree but if he were to do this it might mess up a few graphic and game object things from a coder's view.

I and another person already suggested...no response..

sorry for the late reply but i actually know a game that has this function which is stardew valley where if you stand behind a tree your character is visible while the tree is slightly transparent.

I know Minecraft Dungeons (a Diablo-like, which Eliatopia seems to be in terms of RPGs) used silhouettes to show where objects are if they wind up behind the scenery. Dunno if the same would work with 2D sprites as they would with 3D maps, though. That's especially the case with the engines the games were made in, as Unreal Engine (the engine that Minecraft Dungeons was made in) is more complex than Unity (which is kinda basic for a game engine).

well, from what i was talking about with being on a 2D map you could put some empty game object on the player and you could write some code saying if that empty game object was behing something the tree would turn invisible, but the problem is that with a 3D map if you were behind lets say a wall, the wall would show transparent but it would look bad because you would see the void and lets say you were in the rain forest you would see the water. im not sure if this makes sence but i guess what im trying to say is that its possible. But the only big problem would be Depth with the eliatopia paper mario themed sprites.
