Advanced Lighting Levels

Archive: 8 posts


I'm a sucker for lighting.
To me, it's one of the most important factors when it comes to creating a level. In my own levels, I've tried to use light in clever ways, and i was wondering:
What other levels and creators would you recommend, that use light in cool and clever ways?

Lights out!

Well, there were these two levels called "The Descent" or something that were just okay... you may like them...

Then, there was this level called "All Mine!" that was just really cool all around...

Seriously, two creators come to mind: Julesyjules and Morgana25

Hey Javi! Good to see you around here! I have a couple recommendations for levels with cool lights, although you may have played them already:

The Origami Killer(Spotlighted episode 31) - the design is crazy amazing and has some cool lighting effects with a storm
Celestia: An Age Abandoned (Spotlighted episode 31) - it features a night/day system, and I especially like the night time .. the ending has a nice surprise as well

I'm a sucker for good lighting too Javi. Yours are excellent for dark, moody and downright scary lighting. Oh and Flares & Nightvision are epic win (to quote the kids.)

Comphermc's All Mine is lit great too. Anytime the fire looks hot, someone knows what they're doing with lighting. (btw, fire - my favorite thing to light up)

Each of those either uses light in a way to further the story, set a mood or enhance gameplay. They all have very different ways of doing this too. I tend to like levels that use light in a very painterly or theatrical way. Light is used to paint with as I like to say. Why sticker it if you can light it up?!?

So yea, those are just a few of my favorites for lights - there are a ton I'm forgetting though.

^^^Careful with False Idols III... Thegide told me it was malfunctioning at the beginning, and the video JHKThree made of it seemed like something was wrong... like some of the spotlighting in the descent through the atmosphere hadn't turned off like it was supposed to. I haven't been on since like August, so I don't know how anything could have gotten changed in it. Do have a video though -

I'm pretty happy with the lighting in the first 3 episodes too... especially the change in episode II if you choose to destroy the world.

"Illumina Garden 2" by Shadowflare X really introduced me to the power of lighting early on
"Lost Tomb of Anubis" by nattura is one of the true great ones when it comes to lighting

Wish I could think of more, but Morgana's got it covered.

WOW!! Morgana, that is some list!! Now I got a lot of playing to do! Oh btw, thanks for the comments.
and to NinjaMicWZ:
Even though they are oldies, Illumina Gardens 2 and Lost Tomb of Anubis are some of my favorite levels. It's sad that both Nattura and Shadowflare haven't been active since, I'm pretty sure we would have seen something awesome form them
