Spine
Spine is a 2D skeletal animation tool for creating, refining, and exporting character animations, along with runtime libraries that load and play those animations inside games across nearly every major game engine and programming language.
Why it stands out
It pairs a purpose-built skeletal animation editor with officially maintained runtimes for virtually every game toolkit and language, so animations play back in-game exactly as authored rather than being baked into sprite sheets.
