I think if we apply the same BoostIntensity that we'll feed into the SpeedLine shader, we might genuinely have a nice layered effect.
Yeah, the motion blur effect's intensity doesn't seem to scale nicely (the shader code has a boost_amount parameter but that doesn't seem to work great). By default the effect is very weak and hard to see, but just naively increasing the blur_factor to make it more visible doesn't look so good, with some serious artifacting.

After that if you guys agree maybe we can start a draft PR so we can all test it locally and see what needs changing to make it into the game?
Sure, sounds good!
