Hi everyone,
The Kickstarter campaign for Spriter, the awesome 2d game animation tool is about to enter its final week. Spriter has gotten the attention, endorsements and support of many really great pro and independent game developers...

"Seriously, awesome job on the editor."
- Tuomas Erikoinen, lead artist of Angry Birds
Up until now, these tools were kept as a sort of "secret weapon" by companies with deep pockets who would use them to reduce dev-time and increase quality. It's often too costly for smaller companies and independents to create their own - and when they do they're reinventing the wheel every time because there is no standard. Spriter finally brings us a commercial solution and with it comes the potential of a universal standard.

And of course a fully featured plug-in for full Spriter support in Torque is being worked on as well.
With continued funding we can continue to work full time and get additional help to make Spriter the ultimate 2d Game animation tool and get full Spriter support in all the popular game authoring systems as quickly as possible. Please help spread the word.
Thank you very much.

There was an update on the KS site yesterday as well, but I believe you have to be a backer to see it.
No word on the Torque version... or a '3 Step Studio' version for that matter either ;)

Sorry for the late reply. AS you might guess, Edgar(the programmer) and I have been quite busy.
You can always keep track of the latest developments from the Kickstarter page at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/539087245/spriter/posts
(you dont need to have backed to read the updates, you just can't post comments)
Or, please join the Spriter forums at: www.brashmonkey.com/forum/
@ Vlad I,now that the data format is mostly finalized, developers can begin making fully featured Spriter plug-ins for all game engines and authoring systems including Torque. I just spoke to the Torque plug-in developer yesterday and he's excited to start on it.
