Void Beam: Seamless void beam texture: a black-violet core edged with bright violet, with tendrils flowing along it.

Void Beam

Seamless void beam texture: a black-violet core edged with bright violet, with tendrils flowing along it. Normal blending for the dark core, so it darkens what is behind it. Repeats along a Roblox Beam (Export, Roblox, Beam) for dark tethers, life drains and curses.

Void Beam is an HD effect that loops seamlessly every 2 seconds, drawn on a 512 by 128 canvas. It is built from 3 particle emitters and 2 glowing strokes. Most layers blend additively, so it glows on dark backgrounds.

HOW IT'S MADE

Void Beam is drawn with 2 glowing strokes, lines with a hot core and a soft glow traced along their shapes, plus 3 particle emitters. One technique stands out: 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 recolour the line, select "Tendril A" and change Core and Glow; Start and End set how much of it is drawn. 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.
