| Risk | Impact | Mitigation | |------|--------|------------| | – Players may rely exclusively on freeze to win fights. | Gameplay becomes stale. | Introduce enemy abilities that break or bypass freeze, and enforce energy constraints. | | Network Latency – Freeze state may appear out‑of‑sync on high‑ping clients. | Frustration in co‑op. | Use server‑authoritative timestamps and client-side prediction with rollback for the field. | | Visual Clutter – Freezing many entities can overwhelm the screen. | Reduced clarity. | Limit visual effects to a maximum of 16 simultaneous frozen entities; older ones fade out. | | Accessibility Overlook – Color cues may not be perceivable. | Excludes players. | Provide shape‑based overlays and optional “freeze aura” outlines. | | Performance Spike – Large numbers of projectiles frozen simultaneously. | FPS dip. | Cap frozen projectiles to 20; excess remain active but receive a “slow‑down” effect. |
Leal studied Fine Arts at the University of the Arts London, where she first merged performance with technology, creating kinetic sculptures that reacted to viewers’ movements. After a stint in Tokyo working with robotics engineers, she returned to Europe and began exploring the philosophical implications of temporality—how we perceive, store, and manipulate moments. time freeze veronica leal
