Description

Complementary feature for #943. Might go on par with #1373, because Anomaly has the blur effect we need in the inventory/dialogs.

  • Time dilation (#1167)
    • Configurable: what time factor will be set, can be fully disabled or enabled only for inventory or only for PDA, etc...
  • DOF: blur out everything except inventory, PDA UI
    • Configurable: how strong blur is, enabled at all or not.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review how inventory and PDA UI are rendered, implement time dilation by adjusting the game's time scale when inventory is open, and add depth of field effect using post processing shaders.
