🚀 Phaser 4 Dev Log: Ben's Big Noise Week

Ben has had a seriously productive week 🔥

He wrapped up examples for KeyFilter, NormalTools, Wipe, Vignette, and Quantize, a set of powerful visual filters that let you transform how your game looks without heavy performance costs.

The Quantize examples in particular showcase some impressive dithering, a technique that creates smooth color transitions using patterns of dots. You really have to see it in action:

He also fixed a bug in the Gradient system, which now supports up to 1 million color bands, meaning smoother and richer gradients than ever before. On the API side, setTintFill has been replaced by the new TintMode system, giving developers more control over how colors blend on sprites 🌈

But the real highlight is the Noise suite. In simple terms, noise shaders let you generate organic, natural-looking textures entirely in code. Think fog, water, wood grain, or terrain. No assets needed. Ben has built a full suite of these in 2D and 3D, and the results are honestly stunning. This is going straight into the Phaser 4 core ✨

Phaser 4 is getting closer. Stay tuned 👀
