Animators have to face many challenges when creating 2D rigs and animations for indie games. In this live talk, three animators who worked on the platform-puzzle game Minute of Islands by Studio Fizbin give you a behind the scenes peak at the animation process in Spine.

Animators Moritz Biene (Animation Lead), Kerstin @noodydraws Buzelan (Animator) and Ferdinand Engländer (Animation Lead) will show how the Spine rigs work and explain some of the crazy solutions we had to come up with.
While playing, we will talk about all the interesting things and anecdotes that come to mind.
Of course, you can also ask all of your questions about 2D game animation and this project.
Its going to be a cozy live stream with lots of game animation know-how. So, join us with a cup of tea and lets have a closer look at how we did the character animation in Minute of Islands!
