Tileable Cyber Data Stream

Tileable cyber data stream: neon dashes race along horizontal lanes in both directions at three speeds, with blinking data packets over faint lane lines, cyan one way and magenta the other. Tiles in every direction and loops perfectly, for cyberpunk menus, hacking screens and tech intros.

Tileable Cyber Data Stream is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 512 canvas. It is built from 8 particle emitters. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

HOW IT'S MADE

Tileable Cyber Data Stream stacks 8 particle emitters, each with its own job. Techniques worth a look: an emitter shaped like an image and post filters (bloom).

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 "Lane Lines" 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.

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.
