Could you build this?
Partial Creating a web or desktop editor interface is straightforward, but parsing and compiling proprietary Klei engine animation and rig formats (scml/zip/tex/anim) is complex.
What it would actually take: The stack would typically use Electron/Tauri with Canvas/WebGL to handle 2D skeleton rigging and timeline scrubbing. The core hurdle is reverse-engineering or integrating reverse-engineered parsers for Don't Starve's custom binary animation (`build.bin`, `anim.bin`) and atlas texture formats to ensure flawless game engine compatibility upon export.
