Fast-forward to 8 or so months ago, and I finally thought up a game idea I thought was worth persuing.
Something I could stay motivated to work on in the longer-term, and hopefully stick with long enough to complete.

I did get some cool screenshots before I realized my game wouldn't even benefit from this kind of lighting in the first place.
I probably could have figured it out if I'd spent a little more time, but I was getting bored.
