light sources ideas
classic fire - Fire surrounding the spaceship that provide a small amount of light. Just so the player doesn't die right at the beginning.
Fireflies - Most common occurrence. Appear at night and when the player interacts with them, can catch some and put the in a jar. This jar can then be thrown, releasing the fireflies and lighting an area. After some time the fireflies will disappear.
Torch crystals - Crystals found in caves that can be harvested and combined with a small tube or pipe the player has to create a makeshift torch. This will provide light in a cone in front of the character.
Glowing Eel - When caught by the player and cracked over the characters knee, these eels glow somewhat similar to a glowstick! They provide a large area of light around the character, but fade after some time.
flint cricket - A small cricket that sits on the characters head once it has been caught. It rubs its hind legs together to create small sparks of light that light the area in flashes. Less effective than the Glowing Eel, but more commonly found out of swamplike areas.
Sticky Glow Jelly - A swamp creature similar to a jellyfish that can be used as a lantern style light. It can be thrown on to surfaces and will stick there for a long time, glowing. After a while the Jelly will fade away. Its special ability is the fact tha tit will stick onto walls or even the roof.
If the player nears the any of the creatures, their abilities are shown just by observation - An important part of Research and development of technologies.
