Engines

Step-by-step guides for getting effects into each engine: which export to pick, how to import it, and the pixel art and blend settings that matter.

Particle effect spritesheets in UnityExport a grid spritesheet, slice it in the Sprite Editor, and play it as an animation clip. Includes pixel art and additive glow settings.Particle effects in Godot 4 with SpriteFramesLoad the exported SpriteFrames resource on an AnimatedSprite2D, or add frames from a plain spritesheet. Pixel art filter and additive blend settings included.Particle effects in GameMaker as sprite stripsExport a strip named name_stripN.png and GameMaker slices it on import. Set the sprite speed and use bm_add for glow.Particle effect atlases for Phaser and PixiJSLoad a plain spritesheet with load.spritesheet, or the TexturePacker JSON atlas, and create the animation. PixiJS reads the same atlas.Particle effects in AsepriteImport the spritesheet into Aseprite to retouch frames, or export Aseprite JSON with a frame tag for engines that read it.Live particle effects for web gamesThe live runtime plays the effect file itself in a canvas: bursts on demand, live edits, transparent over your game.
