2D skeletal animation for games

Spine replaces traditional raster animation in games, providing smoother animations that are easier to produce. Animations can be created without needing more art and are so tiny that games can make extensive use of them.

Runtime support

Spine has many runtimes for popular game toolkits to load and render Spine animations. All official runtimes are open source (BSD) and available on github. Generic runtimes are provided for major programming languages in case you need to develop your own.

Development progress

Spine was successfully funded on Kickstarter, so additional official runtimes and many new features can be expected soon. Watch our progress via the changelog and on our Trello pages for the editor and the runtimes. Subscribe to tasks to get notified when they are done. Vote and comment on your favorite upcoming features!
