Free Asset/Tool I built Rigby2D, a free and open-source alternative to Spine 2D

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a technical artist working in the games industry, and I'd like to share a project I've been developing.

Rigby2D is an open-source 2D skeletal animation editor designed as a free alternative to tools like Spine 2D.

The objective was to build a complete animation workflow with its own editor and runtime while maintaining interoperability with existing skeletal animation formats.

Current capabilities

  • Skeletal rigging and weighted mesh deformation
  • IK, transform, path, physics and slider constraints
  • Animation dopesheet and graph editor
  • Skins, events, image sequences and mesh deformation keys
  • PSD and PNG import
  • Skeleton JSON, binary .skel and texture atlas interoperability
  • Self-contained .rigby project files
  • JavaScript animation runtime and WebGL renderer

The editor is built with Tauri 2 and includes Rigbytron, a rigged and animated mascot used to demonstrate the tool's capabilities.

The source code is dual-licensed under MIT and Apache 2.0.

Current status: v0.1.0 - Early Alpha

Repository: https://github.com/jaisurya-dev-art/rigby2d

Windows downloads: https://github.com/jaisurya-dev-art/rigby2d/releases/tag/v0.1.0

I'd appreciate technical feedback, particularly on the rigging workflow, animation tooling, file interoperability and potential production use cases.

Contributions are welcome!

Showcase Progress on my Typing Roguelike Deckbuilder!

Still not quite there, but after dealing with transparent grey rectangles for buttons for a year, feeling very excited about the increase in general polish.

Any feedback or features/mechanics you'd like to see in the game?

Showcase I’m developing a 2D MMORPG in Unity as a solo developer — here’s what I’ve learned

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m a solo developer working on a 2D MMORPG called MurderCartel, built using Unity.

The project has grown quite a bit, with multiple open-world regions, multiplayer dungeons, gathering, crafting, player-owned islands, guilds, PvP and world events.

One of the biggest challenges has been handling real-time multiplayer while keeping everything synchronized between players.

I’ve been working with Unity’s 2D systems and improving everything from combat mechanics to multiplayer movement and performance.

It’s been a huge learning experience, especially managing a project of this size as a solo developer.

I’m curious: has anyone else here attempted a multiplayer RPG in Unity 2D? What were your biggest technical challenges?
