Taunts and Tweening

Taunts are here! 📢 This patch includes taunt animations for the base roster, as well as the ability to make your own.

We've also added new tween settings. Tweens allow a smooth movement transition between keyframes. You now have the option to enable or disable tweens on a timeline by right clicking a keyframe:
