Normal maps for pixel art
Put a torch in your game and your pixel art goes flat. Normal maps are the fix — and hand-painting one per sprite is a week you don't have.
Why it matters
Moving light is what makes a scene feel like a place. Without normal maps your sprites take the same light from every angle, so the lamp you spent a week on reads as a coloured circle on a flat wall. This is the difference between a lit scene and a tinted one.
Every other tool guesses depth from brightness, which turns dark hair into a dent and every sprite into stamped tin. We follow the shading the artist already committed to — so what comes out is the same character, lit.
Godot, Unity, or the one you wrote yourself. Correct suffix, correct convention, alpha untouched. Minutes of work, not a pipeline project — and nothing about your existing setup has to change.
