Spine was the backbone of our art and animation pipeline on Return To Monkey Island. All the animators and artists loved using it, as it really allowed us to focus on our craft, and work fast enough that we could throw in extra ideas and polish.
I just don’t think it would have been possible to make Return To Monkey Island, with it’s huge cast of animated characters, locations, and cut-scenes, using any other 2D software!Rex Crowle, Art Director for Return to Monkey Island
To make a great impression on kids we needed a natural and expressive animation. Spine with its smoothness and mesh deformation allowed us to achieve this without harming the development flexibility.Vyacheslav Borovik, Animator
Our game has dozens of heroes and hundreds of enemies in various configurations, and Spine made it a breeze to create and animate them all.Joel Kinnunen, Senior Producer
