Sprite Lamp Reviews

Brilliant, love it. Really good tool.

Sprite lamp is good tool to make a normal map and other maps for normal(lol) 2D lightning.

Haven't used Sprite Lamp yet for my projects, but I did play around with it a lot and it seems very promising. Not only does Sprite Lamp allow you to use lightning shades single sprites, but if you own [url=http://esotericsoftware.com/]Spine[/url] it also allows you to lightning shades on the animations you have made. However, the lightning shading DOES require quite some work to implement though, because you have to make a couple of extra black/white images of the original that allow the program to create the active lignthing shading. On top of it all, both Unity and GameMaker are supported by Sprite Lamp. 2 engines that are also supported by Spine as well. Sadly the author is not overly active on Steam or social media. You can contact him through [url=http://www.snakehillgames.com/]his own site[/url] though and he replies pretty quickly there. There are also forums on his site too.

Great program for creating depth maps, ao maps, etc. I am using this to develop a game with Unity. Very easy to integrate. The concept for creating the artwork takes a little while to get used to, But i find it only takes a little more time for me to make my game assets. My simple artwork looks very cool with dynamic light applied!

Essentially dead in development. Issues with the programmer lead to the project stagnating, so there's no recent support or development on the software or compatibility with other engines like unity.
