I managed to recreate the helltaker chibi dance with my sona!
I used #SpriteLoop made by the talented @balkanramgames.bsky.social. Ive always wanted to try sprite animation, and this program rocks; so huge shoutout to them for making this possible!
Now I want to make more dancing chibis~

Another test with #spriteloop ( animation tool made by
@balkanramgames.bsky.social )
Tried to be quick so I can figure out what's the best workflow I'd like to use (drawing, cutting, importing and actually placing keyframes).

I think can be useful (despite being too niche?).
In this project of mine, per example, I would use SpriteLoop to import the parts of a full sprite (128x128px) and give some movements. Your tool makes it more easy than doing directly on my drawing program.
Antialising defeats this workflow :(

And also on the Variants system - the use case in the example video I think it's specific to their system where each animation frame have to be build, by hand, with different parts (it can't animate rotate/scale, eg).
Totally different approach than SpriteLoop.

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?

Here's a workflow test I tried this weekend (I'll try use SpriteLoop to animate the #pixelart of my prototype-game).
I would love to have a super-basic way to place three pins on the antenna (base, middle, tip) so I can add some bounce to it.

Giving a more realistic test on #Spriteloop ; functions and UI are solid!
The only points of friction I've encountered for my workflow:
- Transform/Scale operation and handles could be closer to the other apps
- separated tracks for properties would be helpful

A new update, a feature on YouTube, lots of positive feedback, and people are already working on integrations for their favorite game engines.

since spriteloop was a bust i tried another one which is Spriter (free version), was created in 2014 so i thought would use this instead. (also the gif size was small)
its also on Steam and i wished list it here instead of actually buying it.
