Various Spine rigs and animations for the How To Kill Monsters demo, for CoffeeBox Games during Tranzfuser (the rigs have extra bones in places because the intention was for them to be reusable even if we changed anatomy around for different mechs or monsters - in theory, the majority of the skeleton could keep the same keyframes, and we’d only have to make small adjustments on controllers lower in the hierarchy if they went off the rails. For the animation below, there was a bone in the axe that could override the monster’s head IK and stick it to the blade).
