Within ten minutes, Jonas was a believer. He dragged his messy folder of 300 PNGs into TexturePacker. The software whirred (metaphorically), analyzed every transparent pixel, every empty space, and packed the images into a perfect, tight atlas.

It's a GmbH—a small, liable company with a name that literally means 'code and web.' They build one thing. They build it perfectly."
