G'day! Over the weekend I worked on a new explosion effect in KarBOOM. It's a shader applied to a perlin noise sprite that takes a whole bunch of parameters I can change whenever I want to make all sorts of cool explosions. Currently, it's used for a car blowing up, as seen in this video:

Before the next version is released it'll also be used for the boost effect. By using different parameters, the boost effect will be more fiery, less smoky, smaller, briefer, and we'll see what else.

Here's a screenshot:

PS: It would be really lovely if embedding youtube videos worked again
