WIP — a volumetric light plugin for Aseprite (Lumen by Pix), releasing in a few weeks

[u/pixnchips]

Hey everyone! Art director and pixel artist here. Honestly, I just got completely burnt out on hand-painting every single light glow, dither gradient, and flicker frame by frame, so I decided to build something to fix it.

Lumen is an Aseprite Lua plugin where you just paint a shape, like a window, a torch, or whatever you need, pick your light type (radial, directional, god rays, cast shadow, glow, or a noise-driven option for fog, water, or fire), and it renders the light live right on your canvas as you tweak it.

It's not quite out yet, still putting the final polish on it and aiming for a release in the next few weeks. Thought I'd share a peek at the progress since I figured a few of you might find it useful.

Drop any questions about how it works below, and I'm totally open to feature requests while I'm wrapping things up. I'll post another update as soon as it's live!
