unity support?

Hi!
Your BASIS is a miracle ! I 've been looking for a handy tool for 2d skeletal animation. Spine, Spriter, good , but skeletal animation is incredible in basis . Probably the best in the world. Please tell me? you plan to do a plugin for Unity3d? Because 2d in Unity is terrible! Tools that are now, they are uncomfortable. Moreover, 80 % of the games on this Unity, is 2d. And your BASIS could become an industry standard for Unity , but need a plugin , and want to add some additional functionality . But I already love BASIS . It is simple, it is comfortable, it is very powerful . I would like something he would have developed and became popular ( and I can contribute to this ) . Please. develop it !
Regards, Nikolay

Wow. I don't even know what to say! Thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

To be honest, we had basically stopped working on Basis. To keep it free, we tried a kickstarter, but couldn't get anybody interested in it. After the lack of funding, and more importantly, lack of interest from (most) others, it was hard to justify working on this beyond our own needs. There has been a little bit of support here and there… but not much.

Frankly I'm surprised people are still trickling onto this web site each day, and it was by chance I checked this forum.

However, to answer your question, one of the last things we did (though it is never uploaded to the web site) was work on a plugin for MonoGame. This is good for you because it is in C#, which makes it very close to be usable in Unity. If it is okay with you, could you email me at basiscontact (it is at gmail.com)? I am willing to get something working in Unity, and I wonder what you mean by "and I can contribute to this". As for Basis, I think we will need more support and interest to continue with it, but we can talk about that more privately.

Thank you again for your kindness.
Cheers, Scott

I just discovered your project, and it seems pretty neat.

Thanks! We have decided to resume work on Basis.

Your thoughts and suggestions as well as what you like and what works for you are all welcome. :)
