Pixel art and mesh deformations? 🐉 Experimenting with pixel art support in #SpriteLoop and #Defold! #2d #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

I’m working on mesh deformation for #SpriteLoop and I’m curious what kind of mesh bending would actually be useful for your game animations? What would you want to animate with it? Would love to hear some real use cases? #2d #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

SpriteLoop is now on the Defold Asset Portal! 🎨✨ It is a free 2D cut-out animation tool with a dedicated Defold integration, including native playback, editor support, events, skins, variants, tinting, Lua helpers and more. defold.com/assets/sprit... #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev

Nothing suspicious going on here. Just some perfectly rigid images. Definitely no meshes involved. #SpriteLoop #2d #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

Looking forward to this! I’ll be sharing why I built #SpriteLoop, how the workflow works, and how you can use it with #Defold. See you on September 19!

New SpriteLoop community integrations are starting to pop up! There are now community-made plugins for Phaser, Solar2D, Construct 3, Godot and Unity. balkanramgames.itch.io/spriteloop/d... #SpriteLoop #2d #aniamtion #Phaser #Solar2D #Construct3 #Godot #Unity #indiedev #gamedevtools

Awesome animation by @dadotronic.com Feedback noted!

It’s been an interesting week for #SpriteLoop. A new update, a feature on YouTube, lots of positive feedback, and people are already working on integrations for their favorite game engines. It's really cool to see the interest around this little project. Thank you! ❤️ #gamedev #gamedevtools

A bit surreal seeing SpriteLoop featured by #GameFromScratch today. Huge thanks for checking it out! ♥️

🚀 SpriteLoop 0.13.0 is out! Pole controls, Natural Smart Limbs, linked controls, animated Z order, rotatable skin variants, smoother canvas zooming, and better error diagnostics. Thanks everyone for the feedback and bug reports! #SpriteLoop #2d #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev #Defold

WIP: Added **Tint** support to SpriteLoop 🎨 Funny how a feature that looks tiny on the surface can snowball into renderer rewrites and WebGL work. #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

What happened around Defold in the first half of 2026? A lot! It’s been a very active first half of the year, and we’re excited about what comes next! 🧡💙 We invite you to read the full H1 2026 Defold summary: defold.com/2026/06/30/D... #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev #opensource #Defold

Working on a new start screen. #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

SpriteLoop 0.10.0 is now available. Highlights: - Source image reloading - Animation events - Smart Limb setup editing - Animation & skin duplication - Fullscreen mode - Animated WebP export - #Defold extension improvements #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

Let’s add a bunch of features so we don’t even know what’s a bug and what’s a feature anymore! P.S. Can you spot it? #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

WIP: Adding support for reloading source images when they change. #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

I was hoping to push the new release today, but itch.io is down 😅 In the meantime, here’s a preview of the new Dopesheet mode! #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

v0.8.0 is out! #gamedevtools #animation #indiedev

Let's test that rig!

Update on the "smart limb" WIP feature in #SpriteLoop. Say hello to my old "Clockheart" buddy! It can almost pull off an Avenger pose. 😄 Coming soon to #Defold! #gamedev #gamedevtools #animation #indiedev

Working on "smart limbs" for the next version of #SpriteLoop. Instead of manually rotating every arm and leg segment, you'll be able click a button and let the limb solve itself. Still refining the UX and UI, but it's already looking promising. #gamedev #gamedevtools #animation #indiedev

Pushed a new version of SpriteLoop. Added skew animation, transform inheritance (including skew & scale), and improved loop interpolation for smoother repeating animations. The #SpriteLoop #Defold extension was also updated to support skew: github.com/Balkan-Ram-G...

Working on SpriteLoop again today. I've added skew support, which opens up some interesting possibilities for faking perspective and adding depth to 2D cutout animations. Still needs testing, but the first results are promising.

🤩

Working on a #Defold extension for my tiny animation app #SpriteLoop. Reached an important milestone - animations now run through a custom Defold component that can be attached to any game object with collisions, scripts, and the usual workflow support. #gamedevtools #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Recorded this with the SnippingTool, so enjoy the lag... Here’s how you can animate cutout characters in my free tool, SpriteLoop. Thanks to #Craftpix for the cool free assets. Hopefully they don’t mind the butchered animation 😄 #SpriteLoop #gamedevtools #indiedev #gameanimation #gamedev

SpriteLoop is now on itch.io 🎉 A lightweight 2D cutout animation tool made for fast game prototyping and simple character animation workflows. Available for: • Windows (.msi) • Linux (.deb / .rpm) • macOS (.dmg) balkanramgames.itch.io/spriteloop #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameanimation

I made this small 2D animation tool because I wanted a faster workflow for game jams and prototypes. Most tools felt too heavy for quick sprite animation, so I spent two weekends building my own. Import parts, animate, preview instantly, and export spritesheets. #indiedev #2d #animation
