Lighting 101

Today our tutor discussed the use of lighting and its color theory. He explained how this subtle technique is vital to make a successful game. Unfortunately, discussing the whole lighting techniques will take an entire year as it is so complex so our tutor will just focus on the basics for now.

I learned the different effects of lighting: player guidance, exit & path highlighting, enemy presentation, and hinting.

I really need this technique as it enhances the game-play of my map and because it is a great aesthetic to my assets; it will give my assets depth and life.
