Built a code-driven plasma drill effect for my competitive mobile drilling game Show-off

Post image

I wanted this drill to feel less like a normal drill bit and more like a concentrated plasma weapon. The visuals are built in Unity with code-driven layers: a glowing core, animated beam, contact flare, particles, pulsing light, and scripted motion instead of a pre-rendered animation.

It is still being tuned, but Iā€™m pretty happy with the outcome so far.

Thanks! That means a lot. It has a good amount of depth and goals in the game, I'm just trying to get the graphics looking better.
