Pixel Art Brazier Loop

Pixel art brazier fire loop: a white-hot flame with tapering orange tongues and licking trails burns in a stone brazier, embers drift up and warm light flickers on the wall and floor. Use it for dungeons, temples, castles and camps as a seamless looping prop light.

Pixel Art Brazier Loop is a pixel art effect that loops seamlessly every 2 seconds, drawn on a 288 by 288 canvas at 3x pixels. It is built from 9 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds. Some particles draw ribbon trails.

HOW IT'S MADE

Pixel Art Brazier Loop is pixel art, drawn at 3x pixels so it sits on the same grid as your sprites, and built from 9 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: ribbon trails, turbulence, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom). 14 scene layers (ground and props) show in the studio for context and stay out of every export.

Every layer emits continuously and the 2 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Wall light" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. Pixel size in the Pixel art panel sets how chunky it looks. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Wall lightparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows from a disc. Colour: orange.
  2. Floor lightparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows. Colour: orange.
  3. Coal glowparticles / additiveA steady stream of soft glows from a disc. Colours range between orange and red.
  4. Coal sparksparticles / additiveA steady stream of pixels from a disc. Colour runs from pale gold to orange over each life.
  5. Smoke threadparticlesA steady stream of smoke puffs along a line. They wander on turbulence and grow as they age. Colour: dark grey.
  6. Flame tonguesparticles / additiveA stream of soft glows from a disc, its rate keyframed over the loop. They float upward, sway from side to side, swell and then shrink away and slow down with drag. Colour runs from pale gold to red over each life.
  7. Flame licksparticles / additiveA stream of ribbon trails from a disc, its rate keyframed over the loop. They float upward, sway from side to side and slow down with drag. Colour runs from white to orange over each life.
  8. Flame coreparticles / additiveA stream of soft glows along a line, its rate keyframed over the loop. They float upward and shrink as they age. Colour runs from white to orange over each life.
  9. Embersparticles / additiveA stream of pixels from a disc, its rate keyframed over the loop. They wander on turbulence and slow down with drag. Colour runs from pale gold to red over each life.

USING IT IN YOUR GAME

Phaser, PixiJS
The PNG sheet is a plain grid of frames that both can slice. A TexturePacker JSON atlas comes with a plan, from the studio.
Unity
Import the PNG sheet as a Sprite with Mode set to Multiple and slice it, or open the effect in the studio for a ready-made grid.
Godot 4, GameMaker, Aseprite
Open it in the studio and pick your engine in Export: with a plan, it writes the files that engine imports.
Web and chat
The GIF plays anywhere; the APNG keeps soft edges on any background.
Blend mode
This effect is made of light. For the same glow in your game, draw the sprite with additive blending, or export it on black from the studio for additive shaders.

Step by step: Unity, Godot 4, Roblox, GameMaker, Phaser and PixiJS, Aseprite, Web games (live runtime). Drawn with additive blending: see glow effects without a black box.
