Per-pixel lighting in a 2D environment

Engine site: http://www.asantee.net/ethanon/

That's an actual 2D scene rendered with pixel shaders to simulte a 3D scene. Looks really nice.

This demo uses the shader feature of the GameSpaceLib. Visit www.asantee.net/gamespace/ for more information. The shader system is beased on NVIDIA's Cg and uses Direct3D's ps_2_0 profile.

that's awesome. Once question I have is how does the engine/graphics manipulator know that the light source is behind the pillar when It's 2D?

@KowaiTori Because entities are positioned in a 3D spatial system.

Thanks for the comments. Actually I'm not working on a real game yet, but I would like to work on it for the next year.

Good work, must have taken you some time to create this

It's really annoyed me how anybody could of "disliked" this video, because the lighting is just so good! Argh I wanna punch the little 11 year old kid grrr! Great work though mate.

Looks great. We are working on a 2D game with XNA. This feature might look great in our game.

Really nice! I thought it was 3D until I read the description of the video. Also a very cozy environment :)

Good idea! Waiting for the implementation in a compltete game... I'll play it for sure!

Keep up the good work!
