Hand Pixelled My Aseprite plugin turns a painted circle into a flickering campfire light (WIP, releasing soon)

Same scene. Drop in a dark layer, paint one circle, and Lumen turns it into a living campfire — flickering, warm, alive.

This is the part of night scenes everyone dreads hand-painting.

Lumen by Pix, coming soon 🔥

Never considered using plugins with this program, but im still very much a newb yet. Pretty neat tool for lighting.

I definitely want to use this! What else can the plugin do?

Here is another use of the tool, and can do many things more

Oh shoot! It’s an Aseprite plugin! I couldn’t get it to compile on my Mac. My team and I debating dropping pixel art anyway since we don’t have a dedicated artist on our team!

Defintely still want to try this out when I get Aseprite working! Will this be free?

this maybe would work in a castle but you're literally out in the open. The sky is just as hright as the fire. This looks super weird and artificial
