Just a suggestion, if you can have left and right animations for character like the forager.
Also, animations for character:
-fishing
-digging
-watering crop
-chopping trees
-hammering (like for building a house or like a construction thing)
-etc
Also if you plan to already shift this to not only ninja thing.
maybe, add some industries like
-beekeeping
-mining
-ceramist
-textile
-winery
-grilling
-etc
maybe also like a tower defense with buildings / towers (with upgrades available maybe 4-7)
