Hey there

SunWuKong

I'm a longtime Spine user and saw you mention in a post your company uses Spine for some of its animations needs. If you don't mind me asking - what company is this? I'm mostly curious about other Spine users, the engines they use and the scope of their projects.

For myself I use Spine for my current project Boss 101 and we use the game maker engine at our place.

On a side note I saw you were using Nima from 2dimensions.com and that looks interesting.

Hey Tim,

It's always nice to get to know more people and their techniques.
I am working as a Lead Animator for Studio Fizbin in Germany. We use Spine with Unity to create animations for our point and click adventure The Inner World 2. After having tried a couple of different techniques (frame by frame spritesheets in Inner World 1) we settled for Spine, because the support and bug fixing is super fast and the list of features is so long (paths and constraints have become very valuable to us).
Nima does indeed look very interesting, but when I tested it some important features were missing (most notably switching attachments).

Is your game the one on Armor Games?

All the best,
Ferdinand

Hey Ferdinand,

Yeah, my original Boss 101 game was on Armor. The new one though is going to be a PC game. Have enjoyed using Spine but always keep my eyes open for good game dev tools. We have been looking at Unity and seen a few good animation tools. I know Spine is supported of course but wondering if you or your team have used things like Dragon Bones or some of the other Spine-like tools.

Thanks again for the response and appreciate your time!
