Sprites as light

I have circular sprite near my player which has light white color.
I want this sprite to behave as a light so that it affects my other sprite.
I want all the sprites near it to light up and other sprites to be dark.
If you have any ideas please help.
THANKS IN ADVANCE

 

Put a light object inside a sprite and edit the lighting in the game to be dark

 

You can give that sprite a material with an additive blending mode, one of the particle shaders would work as a test. I think that's how Hollow Knight did most(all?) of their lighting.

edit. to be clear this will only affect things *under the sprite, not near it.

 

I was really inspired by the lighting of hollow knight. I wanted to create something like that only

 

Thanks

 

#LOGames are u sure how they created light

 

It was mentioned on here, near the bottom.

I've tried it myself and it works quite well.
