If you have a project needing such amount of lights and no shaders, good so.

it's not only for more lights. you don't need to rewrite the whole lighting system if you just want some new material with emissive lighting in addition (in a "normal" system you would need to copy all your light code to the new shader)
also your calculation complexity goes from O(n,l) = n * l to O(n,l) = n + l
where n is the object count and l the light count

Have you ever tried to put some lightsources (like campfires) on a terrain?
The light limiting is really annoying there.
Also, deferred rendering makes it much easier to use shadow mapping techniques.

The main advantage of deferred rendering is that it's really flexible, fast and shades
all objects with the same techniques / shaders, which results in better performance and
a balanced looking scene.
Another benefit is that deferred rendering is geometry independent.

...and of course it's possible to use any post-processing effects with this. I already
implemented my HDRR pipeline and added screen space reflections.

...and this is what it looks like fully shaded laugh


(the next thing I'll implement will be ambient occlusion, antialiasing or dynamic shadows)

Very nice, Kartoffel! laugh

What I wonder: How do you place your lights? Setting lightrange or shader materials? Placing in WED?

They are entities (pointlight = sphere, spotlight = cone).
But you have to use them slightly different.

Are you planning to release the lightning method?
If you implement shadows, I would pay money for this.

I'm Not sure if I'll release it. I implemented shadowmapping for 1 light but it still is nothing very special.
Also, if you want to use this ligting techinque I suggest you to use shade-c which has more features and is more efficient.

today I added a basic group avoidance to my pf by area penalty, resulting in less collisions -> less trouble -> better performance:

next is to make a better collision avoidance.
