Thanks!!
We were inspired by that technique yep! There were some really interesting tutorials on how that effect was achieved (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap4fXGTOb7I).
Since we used it to bake static backgrounds, we got to avoid a lot of the more complex problems Obra Dinn faced with camera motion and legibility…though some of ours aren’t super legible in this setting either.
