Weekly Progress Report #18
This week was just more experimentation with lighting and shaders. I made some progress, but there aren't really specific changes to list. I'll be continuing to work on styling and lighting next week as well, and should have a few levels "done" by the next update.

I spent some time this week making the shader for walls and floors much more customizable. I can now change the line thickness, line color, background color, floor cell size, and wall cell size all independently!
I managed to resolve the "Lighting Disappears" issue from last week. Here it is again, as a refresher:
It turns out there's a setting in the Forward Renderer that specifies how many lights can affect any object. It was set to 4, which meant that only 4 lights can affect the surfaces. There were 6 lights in the scene, and when I changed the values, it deprioritized the light, so it no longer affected the surface. Thanks Stefan for leading me to the setting!
