GAME 1303 — Scripts Needed Per Game

Tier 1 scripts (the shared kit every project starts from) are marked T1. Everything else is listed by the tier it belongs to in the pitch analysis. Cinemachine replaces the old CameraFollow2D idea: no camera script is needed, just a Cinemachine Camera with a Position Composer and a Confiner 2D; CameraTargetAssigner (T1) hooks the player up automatically.
