(Most of this stuff is already taken care of by unity & adventure creator)

Various Screen & other FX:

- Shaders:

  • Black and white grainy film shader:
    [used for Rod Serling like character scene & other places] • Other full screen shaders? Could be used to make the alien scene more dramatic/cooler...For flashbacks or dream sequences? uhh im sure there could be other spots where this could be cool...but...?

- Other stuff:

  • Scrolling scenes: certain scenes scroll/continue for more than one screen. As in the Camera follows the player.
  • Parallax: maybe only used in scrolling scenes? or also single screen scenes?
  • Screenshake: Wonder if its possible for screenshake to not shake dialog?
  • Player distance scaling: player size scales/ when walking further away into the background the player gets smaller & gets bigger when coming into the foreground for certain scenes.
  • Camera Zoom In/(and maybe out too?):
    Explanation: Camera zoom for specific scenes/actions. [examples: player show leg animation. certain talking/dialog scenes. for some puzzles, scenes and other areas.]
