    I'm dropping this here since it is based on observations at the last @DarkStarr DJ party and watching a bit of the Shooter party:

    It'd look very cool, and might even help out the lighting model load, if we had the in-game equivalent of RL spotlights and pin spots, as used in theater and concerts.

    @Chris would know better, but this Unity doco seems to say that spotlights are native in the platform, and should therefore be pretty cheap to implement.

    We've clearly got lenses in-game, since there are telescopes. The original limelight dates back quite a ways, or perhaps the kobolds could be bribed to help out with electrifying light shows for the decadent humans.

    This would make some nice craftable and add-on objects, with lots of expansion potential: Add-on colored or sfx gels, maybe some fine day an in-game light board, for serious dance party and theater RP.

    We have what are essentially flashlights in the game, called darklamps. It would just be a different implementation of this.

    Good point, I had forgotten about those.
