HOW IT'S MADE

Pixel Art Wind Gust is drawn with 8 glowing strokes, lines with a hot core and a soft glow traced along their shapes, plus 5 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: paths, flipbook sprites and keyframed parameters. 3 scene layers (ground and props) show in the studio for context and stay out of every export.

It loops seamlessly every 2.4 s, and 4 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 1.67 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To recolour the line, select "Wind line 1" and change Core and Glow; Start and End set how much of it is drawn. Pixel size in the Pixel art panel sets how chunky it looks.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Blown specksparticlesA stream of image sprites along a line, its rate keyframed over the loop. They sway from side to side and slow down with drag. Colours range between pale blue and white.
  2. Wind line 1, Wind line 1 (second), Wind line 2 +5stroke / additiveA glowing line traced along a path. Its start and end are keyframed, so it writes itself on and off.
  3. Gust leaf 1particlesOne burst of 2 rings at 0.1 s. They travel along a path, play a flipbook animation and spin. Colour: white.
  4. Gust leaf 2particlesA single particle at 0.65 s. It travels along a path. It spins. Colour: white.
  5. Gust leaf 3particlesOne burst of 2 rings at 1.2 s. They travel along a path, play a flipbook animation and spin. Colour: white.
  6. Gust leaf 4particlesA single particle at 1.67 s. It travels along a path. It spins. Colour: white.

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.
