Sprite DLight is a tool that generates instant normal maps from 2D sprites in one click.
This way, you could create a game featuring dynamic lighting on pixel art characters and objects, simply by processing the existing game art and using the normal maps in combination with a shader.
Sprite DLight only needs a standard sprite as the input image, and it generates a voluminous normal map, which takes the overall shape and the details of the subject into account.
For games with lots of assets and animations, a developer without any artistic skills will be able to batch process all sprites and sprite sheets in a matter of seconds, without any additional work.
The tool is currently running a very successful Kickstarter and it is also on Steam Greenlight.
FuRyu revealed on Friday its Exstetra fantasy role-playing game is getting an HD remaster that will launch this summer on Steam.
Valve is reportedly updating its Steam platform to include a native 30-day price history feature on game store pages.

Kickstarter... Why don't these people do it the old-fashion way and sit on a street corner and panhandle if they want to beg for money from strangers?
