Glitch effect

We want our glitch effect to be convincing so we did some research on existing glitch effects in media.

Vanellope from Wreck It Ralph has a glitch effect very close to what we would like to go for, though achieving an effect of the same caliber might be too costly regarding the game engine and our time.

A realistic approach would be to use this After Effects plugin Twitch, assuming we are able to get hold of it.

If we use this we could create a stock glitch animation using the twitch plugin and either:

  • Spawn the animation as an animated png sequence and attach it to enemies at the risk of lag.
  • Use the unity particle system to spawn the animation or components of it to give a similar effect.
