You must learn character customization on your game engine. I like composition method. Each body part as a gameobject, animate it on Unity animator, and in runtime just swap the sprite.
Manual method you must do frame-by-frame animation on sprite editor (Aseprite/Pixel Studio/Photoshop) which slower to make and bad in some conditions
I’m not working on a building pack, but some packs has building(s) on it. For example, Hana Caraka - Livestock & Fish has coop and barn, Hana Caraka - Dungeon & Mining has blacksmith.
