Is there an option to create animation without spine? for example spriter
Spine costs money and with the free addition projects cannot be saved

Spriter seems to export PNGs for each frame, they should be usable in Defold as flipbook animations.

I used http://dragonbones.github.io/ , exported images, and imported to flipbooks. Free as air.

thanks ! i will check it
I would be interesting to support more input for procedural animation.
Sprite won’t be to difficult to support by the Defold Team.
You can use directly in xml format (.scml) or json format (.scon) both format are directly save by spriter.
Spriter support basicly the same feature as spine but less advanced.
Support in Defold will be easy.
Procedural animation work very well and yes we can export “basic frame by frame” animation but we lose all the benefice of this tech (smooth animation low memory)
But for now with out a clear roadmap of needed feature like ads support or others needed by the community Spriter support won’t be the priority for the team i think.
We need to hope to have Defold 2.0 soon with build-in plugin support so we can all write add new feature to defold more easily

The first animated sprite I created, I did entirely in Photoshop through creating a base image then modifying it to display the next frame of the animation and re-saving it until I had created enough images to create a fluent loop
