I'd like to see at least a small demo video showing the controls. Hopefully they'll make one.
Another WebGL based web animation tool I saw was Spline [0]. It's in beta but there are a fair number of videos online showing its capabilities. When I downloaded it, it ran a bit sluggish on my 2014 MBP w/ 8GB RAM.

Spline is 3D--here's a 2D alternative that has a lot of momentum recently:

There really should be examples of what can be made with this on your website, what the software looks like, etc. On my phone I basically just see a link to download and to a manual.
On desktop there is an example animation of a slowly spinning turbine attached to an old-fashioned mill. Had I not noticed the angle of the blades changing, I'd have said it was a 2D animation using PNG sprites.
You can also click/tap the innkeeper for interaction.
When tapping on a location in the image during the conversation, the eyes will move towards that target.

Wow, talk about an undiscoverable feature! There should be a halo or '!' above their heads like there would be in a game. Simple UX change to indicate that this element can be interacted with.
It works on my iPhone too
This is awesome! Not only is it an open source WebGL animation tool, it also is an open source way of distributing 3D animations using the player. Other tools out there have closed source players, which never felt right for the web.
Being a tool for creating WebGL animations, why should I have to download anything?
maybe because webgl is a display/rendering api standard which can display animations, but does not define a file format in which they can be transmitted.
The correct answer would be, the actual creators of the tool felt this was a good design decision.
Can you please make a working alternative we can all check out?

this is awesome
Seems it is a desktop electron app[1] for creating animations that are then used with the player[2].
Would be good to have a bit more info on the site about it, rather than just an example with no real context.
