Having a great time exploring this. So many more connection than there appear to be at first! A bit of a specific question: how would you describe (or how did you achieve) the dithery, color-banding effect in the forest area? This might be present else where in the game, but that's where I noticed it! Thanks for making this, and making it available :]

Thank you for playing! The color banding is a result of my screen shader, which limits the number of colors on screen + tweaks them a bit.
fixed4 frag (v2f i) : SV_Target
{
float4 col = tex2D(_MainTex, i.uv);
//This is the part where I limit the colors a bit
fixed r = 32;
col.r = round(col.r*r)/r;
col.g = round(col.g*r)/r;
col.b = round(col.b*r)/r;
//This is just color tweaking
col /= float4(1.05,1.0,0.85,1);
col = col*0.7+0.3*float4(0.5,0.4,0.4,1);
return col;
}
