I suggest you start working on it on your side until you feel you have something ready to share that we can work on together if needed.

[EDIT] all the preloading of spritesheet and json parsing is already in melonJS, so in theory, all we are missing is the rendering. See for example here (https://github.com/melonjs/examples/blob/master/shapes/js/resources.js#L13) we preload a Json from a physic editor, and use it there (https://github.com/melonjs/examples/blob/master/shapes/js/entities/entities.js#L17) but it could be from anything actually.

my suggestion would be to do a plugin, like for the older version. I would love to directly add it to melonJS, but the spine framework is actually quite big, and beside that I'm not how it would work in terms of license agreement, so maybe keeping it separated is easier.

also as you suggested, yes definitely go directly for the latest 4.0 runtime,

thanks for that !!!!! that would be huge & awesome to have proper support for Spine in melonJS :)

closing this one in favour of #1114, that better describe what to do !
