ideas for camera angles

okay so i would like to make a single player single level "demo" using irrlicht. the problem i'm having is the platform style using a 3d engine, something like viewtiful joe. i would like to have the character move across the platform with 3d buildings in the background but with no z plane.

i guess a slice of veiwtiful duke joe nukem: manhattan project.

HA!! just found the name of the game.

i will be coming back to this forum a lot in the next couple years, the engine looks promising, and the help looks endless on the forums. thanx

you could create a camera at 90*, and move it left or right depending on if the character goes to far to the right or left.
