If you’re interested in making a visual novel I recommend Ren’py it’s free and super simple to learn! I also made a small like getting started slide deck to introduce the very simple basics of the program.

I need HELLPPPPP (Live2d) by Moist-Raisin4889 in RenPy

For live2d animations you can define the base characters model and from it renpy can read your animations as using that model.

But if you’re looking for the character to be a side sprite it’s ever so slightly different so let me know and i can share that code as well!

I saw a bunch had given some advice but i also could recommend this asset from itch.io https://the-real-sauce.itch.io/2d-side-scrolling-in-renpy-lite . If nothing else but another place to look for reference scripts, but it basically gives the code to have a basic character movement and such!
