What exactly?I cant see any difference.
I was quite in hurry then, so I forgot to explain everything.
It's map zoom in/out function.
well it's coming along 
I find lightmaps just as effective 
You can set scale of shadows & lights layers and latter stretch it in CS2D Map Editor.
It's not scaling the image, but sets scale of shadows & lights calculations.
Well, for example: 3 scale modes:
(Map size is 1024*480 pixels or 32*15 tiles)
1.
Scale: 1X (Normal)
Image size: 32.5KB
2.
Scale: 0.5X (2 times smaller)
Image size: 15.6KB
3.
Scale: 0.25X (4 times smaller)
Image size: 7.48KB
4.
Scale: 0.125X (8 times smaller)
Image size: 3.48KB
Gameplay with just (2 * 3.5) KB size layers (0.125X Scale)
Though, doesn't look very smooth, but that's the lowest quality

i know a lot of people is asking the same, but there is a release date?
Well, I could release it right now, however my way is to make stuff thoroughly.
I would like to keep this at least for a week more.
Yet, I should prepare some manual/help functions in the tool.
Moreover, I can't find more than 5 hours a week for this project.
Oh right, I'm also ill right now.

Seriously Blazz, why you said that you`ll complete your program at October?

Why do you actually need two images?
i have the same question...
Read this:

At the moment, this tool generates two layers - Shadows & Lights.
After exporting it as images (compressed - PNG format), you're applying them though CS2D map editor.
Light layer uses Light Blend Mode and 30% Transparency.
Shadow layer uses Shade Blend Mode.
Shadow layer should be applied over Light layer.
So, generated and exported layers looks like that:
Shadow Layer
Light Layer
These two layers has only 84kb size.

Well, it's possible to implement this in CS2D + it's pretty fast.
Of course, there are ways to make this even twice faster, I spent just 30 minutes on this application.

You can move mouse and figure it out.
Anyway, just an idea to implement something like this in CS2D.

and again its awesome
those light are cool, if that will be in cs2d, that would rock, if it will not cause much lags in-game
but anyway, cool :3
