So I'm supposed to make a game with lightsources all over the place? Thinking in terms of single sprites, top down lightsource doesn't seem like a particularly good idea, but in an entire game scenario, would not a variety of lightsources all around the scene look very messy? Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't lightsources supposed to represent the source of the light? If that is the case, why the fuck would each object have it's own personal form of illumination?
As for the painting remark, some of the prettiest graphics I have ever seen have stemmed from the idea that the world is represented as a painting (such as Okami). Surely treating the game as art, rather than graphics, will, eventually, produce a more pleasing outcome?
