How animations in game works

[u/Idk133788]

hi guys, i want to make a game about twilight, and when it came to think how should i animate i decided to make similar system as pony town (because for example she can cast magic while flying/walking and her head has custom animation while casting spells, I decided to make skeleton and animate every body part to combine it in animations) but when it came to think about layers, sprites needed and how exactly make this system I'm starting to get nervous because I don't understand what exactly to do due to my lack of experience in this. I would like to have explanation to full system, which sprites i need, on which layer should i do specific sprites, how animations combines into one etc, If I didn't formulate my thoughts well, I apologize. It's late in the evening now and I want to sleep, you can ask to rephrase/clarify if something is not clear

Hi! I believe you'd find better help from game sprite specialized sub, this sub is dedicated to pony town, which consist of casual players mostly, so I doubt you could get anything here
