the "render with top down camera" to a texture for creating a minimap is a good solution until you realize that doing that every frame to a big texture is a timeframe killer. It's a good solution only if updating it once in a while, ideally decouple movement from updating the WHOLE texture. Just squeezed nearly 2x framerate on a game by queuing minimap updates to fewer times.
