Manual Character Walking - RPG Game Style
Do use a spritesheet for animated sequences... is a quite old-school but still valid solution for lots of games. This sample shows the basics.

Not a walking animation but thats feasible too.
Gonna make a sample of that too...
And after seeing your sample... tiles to create an environment would be good too...
I actually used a character from a sprite sheet created in RPG Maker MV but I cropped out the poses I needed as PNG. I'm not sure if there's a more useful sprite workflow. I'm looking into CrazyTalk Animator to create the resources now.
I've since seen other people use motion paths with animated gifs, but they don't explain how they prevented the character from flying across the screen. Anyway, still working on it. The "escape the room" side scroller was pretty impressive.
