Nice seeing you here Oskar!

Are you doing the cel shading with an unlit material and shader, or with a post-process material? Working on something similar right now, post-process interacts much better with lights, but with material it's more stylized...

Will check it out, I was just watching a video about it 🤔
I used PHPstorm for a course a few years ago and really liked the Jetbrains IDEs

The "retreat" effect was done using randomly distributed raycasts in the shape of the lantern, to give it a more realistic effect (the coders did most of the work there!). Although we built it with rudimentary tools we were really happy with the final result!

The growth effect is pretty simple, and worked well for our project. I generated a few meshes with a Houdini tool (ignore the spaghetti code), set vertex colors to control thickness and offset growth order. This effect was organized in small groups and controlled by triggers.

I designed the alien tendrils growth effect: black alien tendrils that grow as you walk by. You then get access to a UV light that allows you to clear a path as you go.

Made some trim sheets and textures, trying to keep them useful, clean and "retro", to fit the PS1 graphics. Mostly used photo textures and modified them in Photoshop
