Thanks to R0J0hound on the Construct 2 forums, a version of the Creature Runtime for Construct 2 is now up!

Ok, I am pretty noob when it comes to this, but how do I export from Creature for Construct 2?

Hello,

You go to Animation Mode, then hit Export Animation.
The exporting process will ask you for an export directory that you type in. Your JSON and PNG Image atlas files will be put there.

You then use the new Construct 2 Creature Plugin as outlined in the video to import the PNG and read in the JSON file.

Make sure you have the Construct 2 Creature Plugin installed of course. The files are provided on the Github page.

Cheers

Ok thanks, this is kind of bare bones at the moment, any chance of further expanding it?

Hello,

Yes the plugin will undergo further development in the future, one of the things to look at will be the possibility of a preview mode.

However, the existing functionality already allows you to load and switch animation clips as well as set their playback speed.

No new ?

You have some good point on your software but it's always seem imcomplete.
Im from construct 2 if i make an animation with your software i cant play it correctly in construct 2, it's absolutely not optimized.
And it's totaly impossible to set mirrored this plugin.
You can't in your software AND in construct 2.

This a really really nice software but everyone will go to Spine2D


Have a nice day.

Hello,
It is difficult to support Construct 2 completely right now given how Creature is 100% mesh based and requires full WebGL support in the editor.

This might change if their API is updated.

Cheers
