I have returned and this animation is something i have legit had problems finding in 2d gothic media. A Gothic Victorian Stagecoach.
The closest you get to such a thing is from Rondo of Blood ( though Rondo is more a trade cart which we already got one ) and Darkest Dungeon ( closer to what i think of for this) I think unlike the cannon turret this could look very appropriate for the Gothicvania Collection.
I just see it now in my minds eye you could even do a seperate parts variant of the image as well so it could be used in say a forest overturned and one of the bosses im thinking the wendigo would roar and come at the player again just random thoughts here.
Anycase that's my thought i think you could have allot of fun with this one.
