is there a way of getting lighting effects on 2d sprites without going into the whole 3d space and creating objects etc?
i'm after a spotlight type effect and/or fire glows

Well, if your are trying to do something like this (check picture), then my way of doing it was doing the spotlight's light a sprite with a certain opacity, so Zero looks as he is being iluminated.
