Summary0006258: Swinging lights look very weird.
DescriptionIt took me a while to figure out what was going on, but the effect you have implemented for when chain lamps get pushed around looks very strange.

In general play it just looks like there are large blobs of darkness pulsating on the screen for no reason.

For the time being I'd say remove it as an effect, unless you can easily come up with something less confusing looking.

I don't know, have you ever swung a hanging lamp in a dark room? It's a pretty odd looking effect in real life.

The light is unlikely to arbitrarily turn the area around itself pitch black however.

EDIT: Flickering doesn't count.

Thanks!

* Vastly improved the way that swinging lights work; previously they would flicker like mad, which just seemed odd. Now they actually have their light source swinging back and forth like you'd expect, which feels a lot more natural.
