Why we love Spriter

Save Time!

Whether you are an experienced game design artist or an aspiring game maker, you will be able to spend far less time tweaking and polishing your game art if you are using Spriter since it will allow you to reuse just a handful of modular images.

Instant Iteration!

If it becomes necessary to change your game character’s head you will only need to change a small handful of head images because the image modules are set up to be used across all animations and frames.

Custom Tweaking!

You will find it much easier to make tweaks that might become necessary during gameplay testing. Spriter also makes it very easy for the professional game artist to deal with whatever tweaks the designer needs to make.

Unlimited Character Variations!

Not only does Spriter allow for fast and painless creation of alternate characters based on the data from another character, it’s also the ultimate way to allow characters to change equipment, weapons, etc. during the adventure.

Spriter Runtime Implementations

Use your Spriter animation files directly in your games to benefit from silky smooth tweened animations that take a fraction of the memory. Suddenly customizable player characters and smoothly animated giant on-screen bosses are a breeze.
