A round iron pot on three legs over glowing embers, filled with a bright green brew. In the Bubble loop the surface swells and pops while bubbles rise and burst. Rendered at 48 pixels from a three-quarter view, it is the centrepiece of any witch’s hut or alchemy room.

The pot is a lathe shape. The brew’s surface uses shape keys for the bubbles, and the rising bubbles are separate objects moved by keys. Brew glow and Ember materials with colour ramps light it from within, against the Dark iron pot and Charcoal embers.

Cauldrons are crafting stations in RPGs and survival games, potion shops, witch encounters and Halloween levels. Play the loop when it is in use and still frames when it is idle. In puzzle games the brew colour can show what has been added.

Change the Brew glow material to red, blue or purple for different recipes, and render a sheet for each so the brew can change as ingredients go in. Put it beside the potion, the magic staff and the blue crystal for an alchemy workshop, or near the campfire for an outdoor witch’s camp.

Use it in your game

  • Godot 4: godot/cauldron-selout-48.tres is a SpriteFrames resource with 8 animations (Bubble_South, Bubble_Southeast … Bubble_Southwest): drop it on an AnimatedSprite2D and play Bubble_South.
  • Aseprite: aseprite/cauldron-selout-48.aseprite has a tag for each of those, 64 frames in all, to touch up by hand; its .json sits next to it.
  • Unity, GameMaker and the rest: sprites/selout/cauldron-48px-8-sides.png has 8 rows of 48×48 px cells, one per action and side, South (front) first. A 4-side sheet and the 32 and 64 px sizes are next to it.
  • Posts and devlogs: the GIFs above, also in the zip’s gifs/ folder.
  • 3D: the GLB opens in Blender, Godot, Unity and three.js. The .blend keeps its modifiers, named parts and materials.

The Style graph of this look: what each node makes, and its settings. Each name links to what the node does.

The other looks in the player (clean, retro, flat) are other Style graphs. With Pixor you can open this asset, change any node, and render your own.
