• 2.5D cameras are more of a convenience than anything, because they allow you to easily map a background to a camera.  However, the caveat is that the background is fixed, and cannot scroll. You can, however make use of regular 3D cameras as part of…

• Glad to hear it.

• Yes - the pause background texture is drawn with OnGUI, and isn't suitable for Unity UI-based Menus. You could instead create a "dummy" UI Menu that is simply your texture covering the full screen, have it display underneath your Pause me…

• An ActionList's When running field can be set to Run In Background at the top of its Inspector - this will prevent gameplay from being blocked while it is running.

• Not multiple music tracks (as set with the Sound: Play music Action), no - but you can have as many regular Sound objects playing as you like (as set with the Sound: Play Action).  You could try simply playing music tracks in regular Sound objects.

• You can have as many directions as you like if you use Sprites Unity Complex as your animation engine, as you can set a Mecanim parameter to be the angle at which your character faces.  You can read more about this option in Section 3.9 of the Manua…

• The combinations of Actions that can be merged into one are so great in possibility, that Action parameters were created - they allow you to call multiple Actions that you perform often using the ActionList: Run Action.  You can read a tutorial abou…

• @salex: It's for Mecanim characters only.  You need to create Animation Events in your animations, and have them call the PlayFootstep function in the Footsteps script, which should be attached to a new child on your character.

• A non-default PlayerStart is really more of a convenience than anything - you can achieve the same effect with an Object: Teleport and Camera: Switch Actions in your OnStart Cutscene. While a single PlayerStart per-scene is handy for most cases, yo…

• I'm afraid not.  However, if you had two tracks the same length play together (with one muted), you may be able to have a similar effect by changing the volumes of both when you want to transition. This would be done via Unity's Audio Mixer Groups …

• Welcome to the forum, @Diego. At which point in the video are you referring to, and which sprite mask are you working with? The sprite masks have a LimitVisibility component attached to them, because generally you'll only want them to be shown whe…

• You'll first want to assign your character's picture as their Portrait graphic at the bottom of their Player/NPC Inspector.  Then, you'll need to re-style your Subtitles Menu to show the graphic, and the text, the way you want. A tutorial on this c…

• Depth of field, as in objects in the far foreground/background blurring?  In 3D that's done with a post-process effect.  I don't know how you'd do it in 2D, but that's a question for Unity rather than AC.

• Thanks for the comments David.  Indeed the eyeballing aspect of the tutorial wasn't ideal - however, bear in mind that most (if not all) 2.5D games rely on 3D pre-rendered backgrounds, rather than photographs. When you have the background scene lit…

• Not currently, but I agree it should be.  I'll add it in the next release.

• Do you still have a copy of the pre-broken ActionList?  I would like you to PM it to me, if you do.  You can convert a Cutscene to an ActionList Asset file by right-clicking the cog icon at the top of the Cutscene Inspector.  I'd run a test yourself…

• Note that the offset occurs after the speech has played - it sets the delay that the ActionList waits before moving onto the next Action.  But the next release will also include an option to set a minimum time that a subtitle must be displayed befor…
