Technical Disclaimers & Known Issues

  • The GameManager script has a toggle for spawning a group of Warriors at Runtime.

    • The number of warriors that is spawned is based on a fixed integer variable (manually set in the Inspector), and is not based on the number of input devices connected and detected.

  • When opening the project for the first time, the Pause Menu Screen Blur Effect might not be rendering.

    • To fix this, locate the UniversalRenderPipeline_Renderer_MenuBlur asset and add the Kawase Blur Render Pass to the Renderer Features
