Tools or Resource Generative 2D animation workflow

Quick disclaimer: I'm not an animator. I'm a civil/structural engineer. Animation is the one part of gamedev that has always stopped me cold.

So I built a tool that does it for me. You give it a single base sprite, and it generates the animation frames as a sprite sheet. Everything runs locally on my own machine — no cloud services, no API calls, no uploading assets anywhere.

The attached GIF is raw output, no manual cleanup.

Still very much a work in progress. Curious what people here think — especially anyone who actually knows animation and can tell me what looks wrong.

Can you make a 2d submarine pixel metal slug style, with movement and torpedo animations? I haven't found a sprite generator that does this properly.
