About Super Spline Studios
Super Spline Studios is a British game-animation co-development studio serving developers and publishers with specialist animation production for games, as well as selected television, streaming, film and commercial work. The team operates as a dedicated remote animation department for partner studios, combining flexible co-development support with technical implementation expertise.
Its work spans character and creature animation, from stylized and cartoon performance to hyper-realistic, hand-keyed animation for bipeds, facial work, mechanical characters and 2D sprite-based assets. The studio also provides technical animation and rigging, including skeleton and pipeline setup, deformation rigs, Python scripting, tool development and implementation in Unreal Engine, Unity and proprietary game engines.
Animation production and technical support
Super Spline supports projects from early planning through delivery, offering:
- Motion-capture direction, shoot organisation, data cleanup, retargeting and real-time integration
- In-game and pre-rendered cinematics, including sequence staging, layout, camera animation and cutscene execution
- Pre-development support such as storyboarding, pre-visualisation, creative consultation and technical-feasibility assessment
- Production and project management for distributed animation collaboration
The studio’s portfolio includes animation contributions to Two Point Museum, Two Point Campus, Two Point Hospital, Fall Guys, Sonic Dream Team, The Lords of the Fallen, King of Meat, RuneScape: Dragonwilds, John Wick Hex and Empire of Sin.
