Evening, Patrons! After the whole 'piracy' fiasco, I figured it's about time I show off some more progress for the actual game. Today I've been working on the lighting engine, in the hopes of giving the underground caverns a darker, bleaker feel. This screenshot shows off complete darkness - everything is pitch black, except for the area around Alicia and her bullet. Every important thing in the game will have their own unique glow like this, and you can be certain there will be plenty of unusual plants and creatures giving off their own distinct colors.Now, if that screenshot looks too dark, don't worry - with the system I have in place, I can set each room of the game to have its own level of darkness. This, in addition to object lighting, will ensure I can make each area look exactly as dark as I want it to. Overall, it looks a lot better in motion, but the screen capture I tried came out far too dark.Anyway, that's all for now. Hope you guys like it!-A42-Side note, you can also get a little look at the new HUD! It's fully functional now, though I intend on sprucing up the art a bit, as it's rather plain looking.
