⚜HOW I DO 2D LIGHTING IN UNITY⚜
-
I was looking back at the game before I put all the lighting in and while it was passable but 😑 before, the 2D lighting really makes it pop dramatically, imo. So, here's how I do this:
1) Create/find a WHITE shape with faded edges and import it into Unity
2) Change the transparency aka Alpha to something lower
2.5) Store all the shapes in a light-container game object so I don't die of how many game objects exist
3) Change the color to be the color of the objects in that section
4) Layer shapes until it looks good

For more info, #HollowKnight devs (teamcherrygames) have an incredible blog post about it. Highly recommend! 💙💙💙
