HOW IT'S MADE

Spirit Fox Summon And Ascend plays on a character sprite, with 9 particle emitters around it. Techniques worth a look: glowing strokes traced along shapes, lines that connect nearby particles, Plexus style, turbulence, keyframed parameters and post filters (bloom, impact frames and vignette).

It loops seamlessly every 4.8 s, and 8 of its layers fire in bursts, so it pulses instead of flowing evenly. Start times are staggered from 0 s to 2.67 s, so the layers arrive one after another. To change its colour, select "Power ring" in the studio and edit Colour A and Colour B. Size on the same layer sets how big its particles are. To see it on your own character, press Use my sprite in the studio: every layer follows the new sprite.

  5. Aura tracestroke / additiveA glowing line traced along the outline of a sprite. Its start and end are keyframed, so it writes itself on and off. It wobbles like unstable energy.
  6. Power streaksparticles / additiveA stream of streaks along a line, its rate keyframed over the loop. Colours range between white and blue.

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.
