So I heard somewhere that you will have tools to change the lighting of your level. I hope this means that adding objects that emit light in and making them invisible, making them darker or lighter, motion path, colour, changing the whole level's light etc. are all included when they say tools. I think light is incredibly important in a platform game. Imagine, for example, you walk down a dark tunnel and suddenly you set off a trigger and all the lights turn on showing a massive underground cavern. This would give a whole new dimension to the game making LBP that much more awesome! Any news on lighting?? And what would you plan to use lighting for in your levels?

from memory I've seen videos where objects glowed and gave off light and I've seen dynamic light which casts shadows and shines on character and surfaces. You will be able to trigger lights on and off but I don't think (with the information given to us so far) that you can stick them on a motion path (you would need to attach them to some sort of mechanical contraption in order for them to move I think. And I have given a little big of thought to creating levels using good lighting. One image I have stuck in my head is a level that is dark except for the night sky and everything on the ground only has a rim light to see where it is.

I really like that idea, where you really only see the outline of th objects, it would make things very difficult. :hero:

maybe you can make a sort of switch, when you pass a certain point, the light'll get brighter or darker?

Yeah I agree lighting is a great idea, it can really change a level and make a level fun.

Check out the video on Meerkat Kingdom (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=1047). From that level it's clear that the tools adjusting lighting are pretty extensive. I'm 100% sure that you can adjust lighting with triggers as well.

The entire game is about customization. Don't you think MM's thought about this? Of course they have. I'm sure we can make it all dark.

This will help with specific horror inspired levels that I've been thinking of. And with the game coming out a week before Halloween, I can't wait to see some Halloween inspired levels.

I'm 100% sure that you can adjust lighting with triggers as well. I like what appears to be some kind of strobe light about half way through. And also what they used to call sponge that you collect for points. Is now colored orbs that double as lighting. I'm hoping that we have a huge choice for lighting effects and customization and triggers.

I know that there is extensive lighting and there is dynamic lighting too.

In the video of the kings garden the walmart exclusive vid the stars they grab onto illuminate you can see the purple light hit the wall a little bit so it should be possible to do a lot of things with lighting
