Rive animation engine

keszegh

In a defold newsletter i've just read about this thingy:
https://rive.app/
since the death of flash there are various attempts to make vector based animation easy to do and implement in games, this is another of those. i did not really get into it to see if it has enough promise for a good future but i can imagine that they are willing to help/pay for somebody to make a binding for gideros, which may be easier given that it is/will be added to defold which is also lua based.

what do you think about rive and what do you think about rive+gideros?

Looks promising, similar to spine somehow. I couldn't launch the editor for some reason (maybe my internet is too slow), but they have a C++ runtime, so there is a good chance we could make a plugin for it.

they may be motivated to give support for a gideros plugin.

Spine for working with raster graphics, and here it is more like a vector editor with animation ..
For games vector animation is a very bad choice, but for non-gaming programs I think it's a great solution ..
