Official SpriteStudio Runtime for Godot Engine

Question

Spine released its official spine runtime for Godot Engine last year.

Blog: spine-godot Runtime released - http://en.esotericsoftware.com/

and it both support godot 3.x and godot 4

Since Godot 4 has been released officially now.

Is it a good moment to consider an official Sprite Studio Runtime for Godot Engine?

Answer 1

Hello, I'm in charge of OPTPiX user support.
Regarding Godot, it is not decided whether to release the player at the moment.
I will let you know if there is any movement.

since Unity did what they did now, could we consider this topic again?

or is there any guide and help avaliable if we want to support ss runtime in godot by ourself?

Hi Justus-san,

We have just recently started researching Godot to develop ss plugin.

At this time, we have not yet determined if and when it will be released, but we will let you know when we have an update.

If you try to support it by yourselves, here is some information that might be helpful.
You may already know this though.

SDK (C++)

I think you can use the sspj loader, animator, and the logic just before rendering.

SS6Player for CPP

C++ runtime library that handles and renders .ssfb2 binary data.

It was written by the same developer as SS6Player for Unity, so there are many similarities in the source code.

So, it may be easy to understand for those who are familiar with SS6Player for Unity.

We apologize that we only have Japanese-language documentation available for them.
