Developed Systems
- Niagara systems used for complex attack shapes.
- Particle generation scales based on most visible emitter.
- System data pre-compiled where possible.
- Level interaction information baked into tile map.
- Orthographic camera allows for out-of-plane offsets without creating scaling artifacts.
- Limited effect on level creation time regardless of level complexity.
