Hi All,
Was working on another prototype level. This time focus was to start programming first 'puzzle' (or level building) elements for the game.
Before getting to main devlog entry covering last batch of work more deeply (with some fancy animations too), here's short story how level was built and how lighting affects output visual quality.
1. only ambient light - everything looks flat (maybe I'll add some ambient occlusion later in development or in RTG 2 )
2. darker ambient and added one strong point light (with weak attenuation) - just one light brought brutal change
3. all switches have small lightie (red or green depending on state) with strong attenuation - so they do just small 'local' environment illuminations
4. finally added 2 more lamps (one white at bottom of the level, one red at exit door) - just to add even more depth to scene
Note: those reddish vertical walls are doors and black part of the floor in front of player is elevator. Both are now changed to look more 'final'.
Example of level building and how lighting is affecting visual quality

RTG Flashback - Abril 2021 Un nivel donde probé mi sistema de colisión. Este fue muy necesario, pq bloques que jugador tiene que manipular para resolver puzzles es una mecánica muy esencial de RTG. En fin, es juego puzzle. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - April 2021 #2 Level from my sci-fi puzzle/platformer, involving use of "carriable boxes", a puzzle mechanics which is used extensively in the game, along with more game mechanics which will be presented later. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - April 2021 Test level for testing my collision system. Game mechanics where player needs to manipulate with boxes in order to solve puzzles is essential in RTG, thus simple collision system was needed. Here it is. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - April 2021 #3 One year after the start of works on RTG, finally I was creating levels one by one. This is another level involving "carriable boxes". Here, I used some mirrors to show off my engine a bit more. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
Development Flashback - June 2020 Animation #3 from the beginning of development. This is early test scene for testing actor collisions. RTG, a sci-fi puzzle/platformer is now almost done and available for wishlists. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Dev Flashback - May '21 Story level. No puzzle this time. Do you like?
Un nivel del relato, sin puzzle. ¿Os gusta? https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - Marzo 21 #4 Interruptores, muchos interruptores, y cada uno tiene su emisor de luz, para dejar brillar el algoritmo de trazos de rayos. A quién lo gusta -> wishlist. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - March '21 #3 One of the first levels with elevators. Here, you can see, that thx to my ray-tracing algorithm, every tiny light in the game is actual emitter which illuminates its environment and cast shadows. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - Marzo 21 #3 Otro nivel de RTG, mi juego de puzzle/plataforma sci-fi. Este es uno de primeros niveles con ascensores. Aquí se puede ver que cada pequeña luz es un emisor real que ilumina entorno y proyecta sombras. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
RTG Flashback - Abril 2021 #3 Un año después del comienzo de desarrollo de RTG, finalmente estaba creando niveles uno por uno. Este es otro nivel con bloques. Aquí, he usado espejos un poco para mostrar más mi algoritmo raytrace. https://store.steampowered.com/app/4032050/RTG
