Future Particle Packs

Will's Magic Pixel Particle Effects
A downloadable asset pack

Hi everyone!

With the successful debut of my first two particle effect packs, I'm getting ready to make some more! I'm a pixel artist at heart, so for now I'll be focusing on another pixel particle effects pack. I've improved my workflow, and I'm looking forward to adding a whole bunch of new features to my particle engine, including trail effects and "clumping" mechanics. As you can see below, thanks to a better workflow the new effects I can make with it are almost a whole different class compared to what's in this pack. The pixels are a lot cleaner, and I think they'll fit a lot better in pixel art games!

I've also got a couple questions for you all.

  • What kind of effects would you like to see in a future particle effects pack?
  • How do you feel about the transparency and glow effects?
  • For those of you who own this pack, do you find it easy to use?
  • For those of you who own this pack, would you be interested in additional FPS variants? (For example, a 30 FPS variant of an animation would be a folder that includes half the frames of the 60 FPS version.)

Thanks, and I'm excited to make more pixel art!
- Will
