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
In Gunner-chan!, we use Spine animation in every aspect, from characters, guns, items, and backgrounds. Spine's smooth and expressive movements give players a tactile feel. It also works smoothly with Unity, making it one of the easiest animation tools to use when developing action games.

Axe in Face 2 needed a lot of animated characters on the screen, without compromising quality or performance. We also needed the ability to change outfits for our main character with minimum effort. We accomplished all of these goals using Spine and we think that it is an excellent animation tool!Søren Lauge Boll, COO & Creative Producer
