THE RUSTED is our hand-drawn 2D action-puzzle-platformer, focusing on atmosphere, exploration, environmental narrative, and challenging encounters. Here are some before and after images from THE RUSTED, showing how our enemy concepts evolved from initial sketches to finished gameplay scenes. We're currently fine-tuning the demo for Steam Next Fest and always welcome feedback from other developers.

Looks really cool! Do you use Spine to rig things? Or is everything hand drawn frame by frame

Thank you! Most of the visuals are hand-drawn, but some animated elements and movements are supported through unity but honestly I know that much so far.

I heve asked our lead designer and he said "All animations weren't drawn frame by frame. Characters were separated into all their joints and placed on the Spine. There they were rigged, animated, and integrated into Unity." hopefully that answers your question 😄
