Lighting - OtakuNerdGirl/Quake-Multi-Map GitHub Wiki
Immersion and Theme
Because my map takes place outdoors lighting was tricker to keep with the theme. I wanted things to be lit up so players can be seen but also have spots of darkness to feel that sort of outside isolation. Did get to have some fun with using flames for the snowman eyes to give the big guy some character
Guidance and Orientation
Some obvious guidance is just being able to see where the player is going but I liked playing with where there wasn't a lot of light as a form of cover and having some secrets that are more of a fun surprise then frustrating that they weren't found
