If you haven't seen this yet, a fantastic free 2D animator for games. Exports out to a number of file types. Great for visual novels and more. Go support good free software!

This is great. Putting a full importer into my engine is still on my list so that I can just import your files directly. I suggest looking at Spine as it's the industry standard for 2d animation and Copy some of its features.

I’m working on mesh deformation for #SpriteLoop and I’m curious what kind of mesh bending would actually be useful for your game animations? What would you want to animate with it? Would love to hear some real use cases? #2d #animation #gamedevtools #indiedev #solodev

I think I might have very briefly chatted to them at the Run for the border event? Or it was someone with a similar name.

Bonus points that you're a fellow Kiwi. There is a lot there, and a wiki with tutorials, but I'm always playing catch-up with writing more and getting people onboarded. So sing out if you need help.

Last progress pic before bed. I think I am about %75 of the way where I need to be to be happy with how it works. This is half of the script in the template project. I want to replicate 100% of that script. #gamedev #indiegames #narrative #gameengine #indiegames #vn #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Writing the code editor has been very challenging, there are lots of weird edge cases that need fixing, and I am sure you all will find a lot more. In the end it doesn't need to be perfect, just do 95% of tasks #gamedev #indiegames #narrative #gameengine #indiegames #vn #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

I've said this before. But if you are using AI to impersonate a human on here you are a part of what is making the internet an objectively worse place. We all can tell. Bot accounts should be marked as such (in account settings) and shouldn't be messaging people without them promoting the bot.

You don't need to know them to get started. Read this www.wiki.projectmammut.com/page/getting... Feel free to ask any questions from the tutorial. This is a full game engine it can do a lot. You won't know how to do everything. But with only a basic tutorial you can make a simple game pretty easily

Have you tried following the tutorial to get started?

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Are you asking if it runs in Linux? Yes. If you check out the web page you can see a download for it.

100

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

No. It's HTML5 based. It used javascript,CSS and html

000

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

It's both. It's designed so that you can easily jump in without code and make something easily. But there is a full Java script backend if you want to get your hands dirty, and I'm currently working on the visual script editor. Have a look at the website in my description of you want to learn more.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I have been working on the visual code editor, It's coming along at a good pace. There are a bunch of outlier cases that I need to catch and I also need to do a UX pass to make it more useable. #gamedev #indiegames #narrative #gameengine #indiegames #vn #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Please do, We would love to help you create awesome stuff! Happy to answer any questions you have.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Thanks so much for following the project, I would love to hear what you are wanting to make. There are a lot of code updates and improvements happening. But your feedback and testing is really important to us, please let me know if you need help or don't know where to start.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

1200+ followers, v0.8.5 out, a new website and stand alone versions are now free! Lots of exciting new updates. Now you can start making games easily and for free! www.projectmammut.com #gamedev #indiegames #narrative #gameengine #indiegames #vn #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

I hope you like it. And I'm happy to hear any feedback that you may have.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It would work best if there is a developer activity working on a game in Mammut that wants to use their live 2d rigs in it that I can develop the mortal alongside. That way I can get more hands on testing and not just guessing.

100

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

It's on the list. There are currently 4 programs that I'm looking to support. These do take time and money to implement as I will need to get a licence to test the process.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Na, why would I push people into doing things one way or another. I don't yuck yums.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

With Mammut engine, you can add that yourself in whatever graphic detail you wish.

100

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

I am wanting more people to get their hands on the engine and start using it.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

0.9 is just around the corner. Lots of changes and quality of life updates. With it, the desktop versions will also be made free, with options to support the project made easier. #gamedev #indiegames #narrative #gameengine #indiegames #vn #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I just added a plugin system for my engine, so I can drop in code to run different animation files at runtime and in the editor So will be keen to see how your system works.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

After a bunch of playing around, I have the base support for Spine animations in from @esotericsoftware.com in the game engine. Still a bunch of cleanup to do, and supporting code, but it works! #gamedev #indiegames #narrative #gameengine #indiegames #vn #vndev #visualnovel #indiedev

Oh, I've been there too many times. I think Apple changes have kept me employed for half my career.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I am getting a crash when trying to launch it on my M2 Mac. Can send crash report if needed.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Will do! Its cool how many engine/tool dev people I'm meeting while making this engine.

010

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I think a lot of it is going to come down to supporting the obvious ones and also see what my users want. But if something is easy to add in. I might be able to slip it in.

110

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Basically down the line I want support for 2D animated characters. I've got lots of experience with a few traditional programs that do this. But I have a growing list of other programs to look into to see what benifits there are.

100

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Yeah. I will do a big pass of them anyway. And work out how hard each is and what is worth doing. I think some will have to wait unless people really want them or someone is paying.

010

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

You're just making more work for me :p

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I'm also going to support sprite loop, as it's a good basic animator for free. And it's developer has been pretty awesome. balkanramgames.itch.io/spriteloop

2D cutout rigging and sprite animation for games, prototypes, and jams.

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I'll definitely give it a look. Knowing how these normally work out should be pretty easy. And if not. Developers normally are happy to help.

000

Project Mammut @projectmammut.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Yeah. Spine is not cheap. It's just an industry standard. I've worked on many games that use it. The good thing is it's a one time purchase and well supported.
