MASTER POST (<- Ropes & Chains Update here)

⛓️ RANGED ROPE AND CHAIN EFFECTS

I’m a big fan of hooking enemies and yoinking them in for the kill, so this month I’ve been leveling up and learning how to animate static artwork and hurling it across the screen. And now we’ve got a whole new array of hook and pull projectile effects!

In this update you’ll find rope, grappling hook, chain, meat hook, spiked chain, demon hand, and spectral hand effects. Almost all of them, except the basic rope and chain, come with a LATCH variant that can be looped with .persist(), so you can actually throw a grappling hook and have it stick.

✨ THE TWO STYLES

This time around I’m not creating effects from scratch. Instead, I’m working with artwork from Eskie Effects’ resident artist ArkRoot. With such a great starting point, I can go beyond the usual recolors.

Among these new effects, you’ll find two versions: a PHYSICAL style that represents actual tangible tools being used, and a COLOR style that uses gradients and glow to be used as ghostly hooks, burning chains, and other magical variants.

🪢 ATTACKS AND BINDINGS EFFECTS

I imagine tying up and roughing up enemies is a pretty common scenario in our games, but there’s been a real lack of effects that properly represent bindings in the VTT space. With the addition of humble ropes and chains to the effect roster, we can finally create visuals to tie up, restrain, and whip those “too important to die” NPCs.

This update includes whip-like attack effects for each rope and chain type effects, along with two variants of bindings for tie up our tokens.

You can check out all the new effects this update in the ASSET PREVIEWER! Just click the "new" button and it will filter only the new effects in the library.
