Alright, so this hasn't been going so well due to issues IRL keeping me from having a lot of computer time and then what time I did get, getting stuck on Animation Controller and more specifically, how to make the sprite face away from the camera. I have the animation set up but not sure how to get it working in actuality.
So I haven't made a whole lot of progress here, a lot of it was just trying to get through the video documentation without getting stuck, half a page of a jump animation and updating my Trello cards with to do list of things I probably won't be able to get to in 2 weeks...
