Doom 3, a 9 year old game, seems to have some nicer visuals than this game which I hear came out later or something like that. And remember I was replying to Axo-tak, he said something silly so I was all "Oh well it sure worked in this game". TL;DR Axo-Tak was misinformed and I questioned what he said by pointing out how Doom 3 had multiple light sources so obviously what he said must have been false. |

The issue has to do with how Blockland works. In Doom, a map could consist of some 10 to 50 objects at any given time. That's pretty easy to render and cast shadows from multiple sources. Now take Blockland. You have the player, the ground, and all the bricks you have created. You load up your Afgan DM save. You are now rendering about 100,000 objects. The fact that Blockland can cast shadows for all those objects for even one light source is pretty damn impressive. |

Because a graphics card can handle more than 1 light source... |
