WIP: Added **Tint** support to SpriteLoop 🎨 Funny how a feature that looks tiny on the surface can snowball into renderer rewrites and WebGL work. #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

What happened around Defold in the first half of 2026? A lot! It’s been a very active first half of the year, and we’re excited about what comes next! 🧡💙 We invite you to read the full H1 2026 Defold summary: defold.com/2026/06/30/D... #MadeWithDefold #gamedev #indiedev #opensource #Defold

SpriteLoop 0.11.0 is now available! 🚀 This update adds a brand new Start Screen with recent projects, pinning, and quick project actions. The first official import plugins are here: Krita and Photoshop. #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

Working on a new #Krita export plugin for #SpriteLoop. It does something similar to the existing Export Layers script, but also generates a metadata file that SpriteLoop can import directly, placing all images at the correct positions automatically. #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

Working on a new start screen. #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

SpriteLoop 0.10.0 is now available. Highlights: - Source image reloading - Animation events - Smart Limb setup editing - Animation & skin duplication - Fullscreen mode - Animated WebP export - #Defold extension improvements #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

Let’s add a bunch of features so we don’t even know what’s a bug and what’s a feature anymore! P.S. Can you spot it? #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

WIP: Adding support for reloading source images when they change. #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

I was hoping to push the new release today, but itch.io is down 😅 In the meantime, here’s a preview of the new Dopesheet mode! #SpriteLoop #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

v0.8.0 is out! #gamedevtools #animation #indiedev

Let's test that rig!

Update on the "smart limb" WIP feature in #SpriteLoop. Say hello to my old "Clockheart" buddy! It can almost pull off an Avenger pose. 😄 Coming soon to #Defold! #gamedev #gamedevtools #animation #indiedev

Working on "smart limbs" for the next version of #SpriteLoop. Instead of manually rotating every arm and leg segment, you'll be able click a button and let the limb solve itself. Still refining the UX and UI, but it's already looking promising. #gamedev #gamedevtools #animation #indiedev

Pushed a new version of SpriteLoop. Added skew animation, transform inheritance (including skew & scale), and improved loop interpolation for smoother repeating animations. The #SpriteLoop #Defold extension was also updated to support skew: github.com/Balkan-Ram-G...

Working on SpriteLoop again today. I've added skew support, which opens up some interesting possibilities for faking perspective and adding depth to 2D cutout animations. Still needs testing, but the first results are promising.

🤩

Working on a #Defold extension for my tiny animation app #SpriteLoop. Reached an important milestone - animations now run through a custom Defold component that can be attached to any game object with collisions, scripts, and the usual workflow support. #gamedevtools #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Recorded this with the SnippingTool, so enjoy the lag... Here’s how you can animate cutout characters in my free tool, SpriteLoop. Thanks to #Craftpix for the cool free assets. Hopefully they don’t mind the butchered animation 😄 #SpriteLoop #gamedevtools #indiedev #gameanimation #gamedev

SpriteLoop is now on itch.io 🎉 A lightweight 2D cutout animation tool made for fast game prototyping and simple character animation workflows. Available for: • Windows (.msi) • Linux (.deb / .rpm) • macOS (.dmg) balkanramgames.itch.io/spriteloop #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevtools #gameanimation

I made this small 2D animation tool because I wanted a faster workflow for game jams and prototypes. Most tools felt too heavy for quick sprite animation, so I spent two weekends building my own. Import parts, animate, preview instantly, and export spritesheets. #indiedev #2d #animation

What if it's not a car but a rocket? Speed = Fun?

Honored to be featured for the Defold “Break It” challenge. 💥

Spent some time experimenting with Defold. Built a small, chaotic wagon prototype for the Break It challenge. Still exploring the engine — but it’s been fun so far. Itch page: balkanramgames.itch.io/break-it-woo... #gamedev #solodev #defold
