72hr Jam 2023 Glitchfire Unusual FX 001a

It's not a bug, it's a feature!!


This one took me alllll day, and it's a bit past 4:30 am now! (Had to get pics & footage for outside the Jam!).

This unusual effect:
  • Bobs up and down to an inaudible groove
  • Glitches out like you know it should
  • Gets glitchy when you take damage or make violent movements!
  • Rotates when you get close to non-cardinal angles
  • Uses the rope renderer -- the square is not a sprite!

It's a neon square double-cage holding this sort of animated golden plaid, from which fire burns upwards, fading from orange-gold into pale cyan; all with a jittering golden glow. The cage and plaid vibrate and glitch out, and the fire does so to a much lesser extent. It hovers from just on top of the characters' bare heads, to almost a whole head above them, at about 2 hz. The cage and plaid rotate in lockstep when you orbit around them and it would have to twist too far to face you. It's subtle and easy to miss but it's a neat little visual trick! Really happy with this one. Hope everyone had a good time this jam!
