HOW IT'S MADE

Seamless Blizzard Overlay is a compact effect made from 5 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: turbulence, particles stretched along their motion and keyframed parameters.

Every layer emits continuously and the 4 s loop closes seamlessly, so it can run for as long as you need. To change its colour, select "Whiteout Veils" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Whiteout VeilsparticlesA stream of smoke puffs across a box, its rate keyframed over the loop. They wander on turbulence. Colours range between white and pale blue.
  2. Far SnowparticlesA stream of streaks across a box, its rate keyframed over the loop. They sway from side to side. Colour: pale blue.
  3. Driving SnowparticlesA stream of image sprites across a box, its rate keyframed over the loop. They sway from side to side. Colour: white.
  4. Near Flakes, Out of FocusparticlesA stream of image sprites across a box, its rate keyframed over the loop. 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.
