Should I use Future lighting or Shadowmap lighting on my game?

- Future: Realistic shadows from lights but the worst performing lighting type
- Shadowmap: Basic lighting from lights but performs better than future


I was originally gonna use Future lighting for my game, but during testing the game ran very poorly on my gaming laptop. Upon trying Shadowmap, the game ran perfectly fine.

I have a lot of experience with both lighting types and I just need you guys to make the call on whether or not I switch to Shadowmap.

We made a lot of improvements on the Freezing Plains visual. Things like pine trees, tiny bushes, some rocks, and others game props!

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)

Call it 'wrong turn'!🚫 The feeling of running into a house with only one exit🚪, and being doomed to die. #pixelart #pixelartist #pixelartwork #art #pixel #indiegame #IndieGameDev #indieartist

Regular exercise is key for healthy wings.
