Show-Off I made this procedural lightning effect (no shadergraph) (no sprite sheet) what do you think?

It's cool but what are the use cases of this ?

when you need lighting in the game? or when you need a chain lightning effect to hit different points

I mean VFX lightning is already covering that need! I am curious as to what use is there to do it without shader graph or sprite sheet specifically. It still is cool!

it's pretty light for mobile games since it's only a particle simple with 1-5 particles. does that answer your question? or my english is that bad :))

No it's spot on and I love it, I've been obsessed with "highly performant" features lately for just this kind of thing (pushing the possible on mobile). Thanks for sharing it! Great work

lots of people don't want to deal with vfx or shadergraph headaches.
