We have already seen a VFX, when we talked about 2D animations, today we will go into more detail.

Visual effects or VFX are that extra part that brings a game towards making it a real game. It is a visual effect that serves to reinforce the feeling that something has happened or changed within the game without having to look at other elements.

Exploding an enemy after you destroy it has a better effect than just disappearing the game object about it.

Or the power up with a very strong light effect that serves to attract attention by saying “Look at me I’m here, come and get me”.

The VFX is that extra gear for a game, until now we have seen them only with 2D animations. Going forward with my journey will also deepen the particle systems that are a phenomenal element for the realization of particular special effects

We are at good progress with this project, the next steps are post processing and audio implementation.
