Well hey, you're off to a good start!

Thanks!

I have to say that it looks a bit weird that the spirally part just like pops in out of nowhere.

Yeah, I'll change that later.

Also, depending on how the beam is to function (quick flash versus continuous raking beam of death), you may want to make the fade in/out times a bit different from each other.

It's a quick flash, triggered when someone walks into it in its "idle" state (an animation consisting of just the first two frames of this animation). The actual animation has a shorter fade in time and a longer fade out time, but I couldn't really show that in the gif.

if you want to be super cheeky and add a lot of coolness, you can shift the entire sprite forward one length in no less than 3 steps* (so you move it 1/3rd the total height in one frame, and wrap the top around to the bottom), which, when looped, will give a neat visual of the spiral flowing forwards. Also, if you vary the brightness of the beam, you can produce a neat pulsing effect, if you want.

That's pretty cool. I'll consider it.

This animation was really just thrown together so I could learn what's what in Unity's animation system. Later animations will have a lot more time put into them.

Right-o! Also, i apologize if i come off as condescending, i have an admittedly pretty annoying tendency to explain everything to people as if they don't know anything. If y'alls think i'm overstepping my boundaries, please do let me know. Either that, or make it clear that you don't want me to pounce upon you with advice. :U

That looks nothing like a ragworm.

It's a play on Earthworm Jim. :v

Nah, don't worry. I think that its great that you took the time to do constructive criticism on my work.

It was a play on words... rageworm/ragworm.

I only see mountains.

Okay, I've updated the sprites for the laser animation. No gif, just the frames so far.

Spoiler: Laser Frames (click to show/hide)

No more weird spiral bit, just internal lightning style stuff. I was going to make the effects outside the beam itself, but that just made it look stupid.

For the animation itself, I've decreased the fade-in time, extended the three-frame "lighting laser" bit and increased the fade-out time. Again, no gif because I don't have the time at the moment.

That is super-cool. Something looks a bit off, though. Is that just a case of not enough iterations to be optimal? It'd certainly look fine to somebody playing a game, I'd wager, which is what it sounds like you're doing.

I made supper tonight. Chicken Poutine with Cyan Gravy.

Thanks to the guys in... was it the happy thread, laugh thread, or WTF thread...? Thanks to the guys in an emotion thread for advice on making Cyan Gravy.

[Dutchling]

That looks absolutely disgusting.

Bravo.

[flabort]

But it tastes absolutely delicious. Crispy potato fries, Hot and crunchy chicken strips, gooey cheese curds, and a tasty oozy chicken-based gravy colored to match my gimmick.

But next time I need to prepare a larger batch of gravy.
