HOW IT'S MADE

Shatter Text Reveal is a compact effect made from 4 particle emitters. Techniques worth a look: keyframed parameters and post filters (outline and bloom).

It loops seamlessly every 3.2 s, and 3 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 2.28 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Lock flash" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. The colour swatches by the downloads recolour every layer at once.

Layers, in draw order

  1. Title assemblesparticlesOne burst of 46 shards at the start. They fly in and form a shape. Colours range between gold and orange.
  2. Lock flashparticles / additiveA single particle at 1.3 s. It grows as it ages. Colour: pale gold.
  3. Title blows awayparticlesOne burst of 46 shards at 2.33 s. They are flung outward, shrink as they age and slow down with drag. Colours range between gold and orange.
  4. Glintsparticles / additiveA stream of stars across a box, its rate keyframed over the loop. They swell and then shrink away. Colours range between white and pale gold.

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.
