Based on the Overworld Shadow Ex, I created this small 'engine' that generates shadows which update with characters on the map.

Although functional, I still consider it to be in an experimental stage. It still needs some touch-ups and code cleaning, as well as fixing some remaining visual bugs. But here it is for anyone who wants to try it.

It should be noted that performance will decrease as more events with different graphics are on your maps. But at least in my case, on a 60x60...

Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for this at the moment, as I'm busy with something else. In short, the problem is that when trying to copy the tileset to create the duplicates, it was found to be too large. I tried several ideas to mitigate the load, but they haven't worked.
