I decided to work on getting alternative light sources down, I think its been long enough with nothing but the players natural lighting. I decided the Wisp could be a summon of some sort, and help light up a bit of the underground for you.
To avoid redundancy I was planning on letting it tween around you instead of staying in place-- with a bit more distance from the player that'll actually benefit those who manage to get it. But right now, it forms a light blob with the player's natural light.
Current state of the Wisp, with player natural lighting turned off. As you can see it's very hard to see on its own.
I plan on mimicking this functionality for a "torch" sprite of some sort, here is a placeholder I made for while I test this out. I will have to make it check for torch tiles placed and check if it has lighting, if not add it. This will be specifically for underground areas OR it'll light up your house during the night if I get around to adding a proper day/night cycle.
