MiniLD screenshot

I’m (probably) in for this miniLD. I’m trying Unity for the first time so I’m not sure I will be able to finish my not game.

My idea:

Seems that I will make a game where the player walks in a dark forest by night with only a flashlight. Strange noises and shadows scheduled.

If anyone knows Unity: Can you help me to understand something strange with lightning? Why some far trees are lighten up while the floor is not lighten up as far?

   Well, if your flashlight is directional, and you point it forwards, it should light up trees in the distance somewhat, and it would light up the ground if you pointed it down.
   It has the potential to be fairly interesting, obviously it reminds me of the game Slender.

     Thanks! It’s my first 3D game so I’m not used to these lightning things. I use a spot to simulate the flashlight. Do you think it is ok like this? Should I point it down?

       That’s up to you. You could have it point forwards, or down at an angle, or perhaps make it match the angle of the camera.
