Kingdom Legends®: The Dark Abyss
Every dungeon crawler should capture the feelings of darkness uniquely.
The Lighting System in Kingdom Legends: The Dark Abyss is unique to this
style of Overhead RPG genre of game. 2D games don't utilize the
advanced lighting systems that are seen in today's 3D games so lighting
must be achieved in another way. The advantage that 2D game lighting
has is that it can be altered to enhance the uniqueness of the world in
which the game takes place. Featuring a unique look and feel to promote
feelings of exploration. The lighting can be affected at the game play
level allowing the player to light and extinguish a torch at will, for
example. Lighting can be altered by items in the player's inventory.
The depth of a dungeon also affects the lighting.
Dynamic Lighting
This feature allows for dynamic lighting so that objects, that the
player interacts with, can alter the environment around them. For
example, the player could interact with a torch on a wall affecting the
lighting in the room or hallway where the light source is located.
Lanterns and Lumen Oil
Lanterns provide brightness to the carrier. They use a special oil in
order to emit their light source and, like most light sources, will
eventually die out. Lumen Oil can be poured into the Lantern to
brighten the room and the more oil that is mixed into the Lantern's
reservoir the brighter and longer it will shine. These tools may be
essential when exploring indoor dungeons where no natural light reaches.
