I got it done C:
A vision I had is that it would start out fading from black with the character in a bedroom, and the view would scroll as the character moved, and meters would tell you his stats which could affect his movement or the stability of the view.
This is just a REALLY basic gist of what I saw. I can add the velocity-oriented movement, jumping, and moving with the camera if you'd like.
