L_Draven,
You would need to use lightmaps to create this type of 'look and feel' - with Gile[s] - not live lights. The way to achieve it is to lightmap sections of the map at a time rather than the whole map (which would be time consuming and create massive lightmaps).
For example - light a house along with anything which casts a shadow or light effect onto it, and save that as a part of a bigger map separately.
You could also programme some live DirectX lights which are turned on and off around where your character is currently, allowing realtime lights to affect characters as they walk passed.
I would use a sprite as a flare around each lantern to give the glow effect.
There are no easy fixes if you want something to look fantastic rather than just good. The effort will be well worth it I am certain.
I'd love to see the looks on people's faces when you show them your demo at the Art Futura show - you are gonna blow them away! lol!
When is it to be held?
Where is it to be held?
btw nice website - thanks for the English version too.
[edit] wow you have some fabulous models on your website - the characters in particular are wonderful!
