I wanted to share my progress so far: Animation triggered by keyboard input 

I guess I'm posting these updates in this thread. Start a new thread for your game. This video might not make any sense unless you saw what I wrote in discord 

I've been making a lot of progress in the last few days. This is what it looks like now with a placeholder background and music. Added some randomized hit SFX and injury animations as well as hitboxes and hurtboxes to trigger all of these things. It's beginning to shape up and I'm excited!
