Aeon of Sands - Light & Shadow

I just want to share some development screenshots of our game Aeon of Sands.

As you may know, we use a Löve 2D as engine. Therefore lighting, even a fake lighting shader is a bit tricky. The problem: We have no real 3D engine and therefore we have no 3d model you can throw at the glsl lighting shader.

After some research, a friend of mine had the amazing idea. We developed a deferred rendering approach with an precalculated depth pass. Here you see our very new lightning system in action. 

(Please ignore the Skeletons, they miss normals and depth values.)

I enhanced our dynamic lighting in @aeonofsands . It's basically a special 2d deferred shading. #screenshotsaturday pic.twitter.com/djTDxXikJ3
