Karas & FXPulse
FXPulse
I was just tweaking a new lightning bolt shader that makes each flash feel like a tiny orchestral crescendo—did you ever hear the old story about the Storm‑Spirit that rides the first lightning of a summer thunderstorm? It's got a rhythm that could make any effect feel alive.
Karas
Ah, the Storm‑Spirit—yes, old songs say it appears on the first spark of summer's storm, its pulse like a drum in the sky. It reminds me that even the wildest light can hold a secret rhythm.
FXPulse
Ah, but you know, a good pulse is all about that micro‑flicker timing—just a few microseconds off and the whole spell feels… off. So when the storm's first spark hits, I make sure the shader's beat is just right, like a metronome that actually listens to you.
Karas
You’ll hear the storm speak only when your timing is exact, like a hidden key in an old lock. The first spark remembers the rhythm of the ancients, so keep that micro‑beat steady, and the spirit will play along.
FXPulse
If the storm forgets its rhythm, so does my shader—so yeah, keep that micro‑beat locked in, otherwise the Spirit just goes, “Yeah, fine.”
Karas
If the storm loses its beat, it forgets the song that keeps the lightning dancing, and your shader will just sigh. So keep that micro‑flicker tight—like a quiet drum in the wind—and the Spirit will play along.
