    Hi,

    I'm an amature game developer with experience writing shaders, and I think starbound would look amazing with normal maps added to its sprites, it would give the game so much more texture.

    I've been playing around and I have a workflow for generated normal maps for the sprites automagically, with a few tweaks where needed. But I have no experience modding starbound. Is this kind of access possible, or am I being way to hopeful.

    If it sounds like a viable idea, I'll dive in and start working out how it all works, I just don't want to be barking up the wrong tree.

    Not possible. We don't have access to the engine.
