How to make Simple Lighting in Defold? Screen Space Light Maps! #gamedev #tutorial #indiedev

Hello!

This time I tackled a very frequently asked question - How to make lighting?
I will try to explain how we can make post-processing to your game with Screen Space Light Maps and implement it in Defold.

Moreover - the full source code of the example built in the video is on my Github!

If you like, what I do - leave a like, sub and comment!

Great job to spread the knowledge to people !

I have been using this since 3 years ago, even for 3D rendering in Defold that people tend to forget what it is capable of ! Although, shader pipeline on defold tend to have a penalty on performance as Defold always require to take Lua calling.

Woah, much to learn much to learn. Thank you for this!

[margobelorukova]

Thank you very much for this example. It helped me a lot!

[jugibur]

Really incredible stuff! At least it has given me new insights into how such an effect is created in the first place, thank you!

the level of complexity to achieve such a simple task is daunting to say the least...

Well, this is anything but simple. In Godot, you can achieve this by few clicks in the UI. Hopefully this will be addressed by the devs in the future.

The default render script looks nothing like this anymore, btw.

I like way Defold solve the problems .For exemple theme. You can just create .css file and edit font. Hi Unity3d will never solve UI scaling for Linux.

As a web developer I feel I understand nothing.
