Massive blank space in scene

I’m using 16x16 tiles and sprites (im trying to make a game that’s accurate to nes limitations) and when I made a test scene I notice a massive amount of blank space taking up the screen.  I made sure to set have the camera follow the player. Is there something I could be doing? thank you.

I think your screen dimensions are bigger than your scene dimensions. Go to Settings > Settings > Display and configure the width and height of the game window appropriately

Try putting the "move camera" block in both a Created and Updating event for your player actor.

When using that in the always event, it has no use to also place it in the when created event.

From my experience, placing the block in a Created event is necessary if the actor is not immediately within the camera’s view upon the scene starting. This may not be necessary if the actor is set to always active, however.
