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.

Todays live stream is about struggling as an artist, and what to do about it! JK does some cute creature character design as well to pull himself out of the bit of a funk hes been in for the past few days.

JK will be off for the next two Mondays, with a return to regular live streams after that. In the meantime, there will be some upcoming Gesture Drawing live sessions, so subscribe if you want to be notified when they take place!
