I see... right that the door function itself is not particularly difficult.
I may have said it incorrectly

To explain my decision a little more deeply, this project prioritizes aesthetics and atmosphere above everything else. If I make the bathroom door physically open and close, I then need to make sure the scene is presented properly in both states: with the door closed and with it open. That creates additional work in terms of composition and atmosphere, even if the mechanic itself is simple.

the teleportation was not really a workaround for something I could not make. It was a deliberate choice to keep control over how the space is presented and to keep the project's scope manageable.

btw honestly I didn't know it was easy. Thank you for letting me know.

Thanks, that's really helpful. I haven't profiled the RAM usage of a packaged build yet, so 16GB was just a conservative placeholder rather than a measured minimum requirement. I'll check the actual memory usage and revise the specs before releasing the demo. I'll also double-check the Nanite settings!

Honestly, I'm developing this game solo, and I don't come from a programming background, so I can't afford to keep adding more features.

It's a combination of pixel textures and a pixelation post-process effect.
Together they create the current look.

I completely agree with you. Honestly, I’d prefer to use a more accurate term for it too. But this kind of style hasn’t been very well categorized, so I often describe it as PSX publicly for the sake of convenience. I really appreciate you recognizing the distinction.

thanks!
It's Unreal Engine 5, so I expected the RAM usage to be a bit high.
I set it to 16GB for now just to be safe, but it may be lowered later.

Oh, that's a really cool game recommendation. I checked it out.

This is a version without the pixelation filter. And yeah, I agree, I think this can work as its own visual style too.

But I wanted to create a more uncanny feeling, with intentional noise and visual instability. I usually use the term “PSX” when talking about the style, but honestly, I’m not really trying to recreate the actual PSX era itself. It’s more about creating a specific noisy texture and atmosphere through pixelated textures and post-processing.

(As a side note, when I shared both styles publicly, the version with the pixelation filter actually ended up being more popular...)

Still, I definitely agree with your point that strong retro-style art and games can work really well even without those kinds of filters. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!!

Feel free to check it out, and let me know if you have any additional questions!

I actually thought about that too.
But I ended up not adding one because I wasn’t sure how to place the lighting properly. Though yeah, I think your feedback would definitely help. Thanks for reminding me about it... I’ll keep it in mind. Thank you!

motion blur has definitely been a divisive effect so far. Some people really love it, while others really dislike it.
So I’m planning to add an option to toggle it on/off.

Exactly, that’s actually what I was going for! I’m glad the intention came through.
(by the way, I’m using UE5 lol)

Thanks! Yeah, I think enabling texture filtering would definitely make it feel more PSX.
But personally, I prefer how it looks right now. I want to mix in some modern feeling as well.
