python/pygame is my suitable tool. The game itself has post-processing
stuff built in the engine. Besides, why should I make my artist run
some external tool chain? it's a waste of time when the game can
handle it. Finally, user created art can be imported run time (and
processed into a tight format for sharing, but still)
