Sample Design & Animation: Idle Miner
Recently, I was asked to create a sample for Fluffy Fairy Games relating to their popular mobile game Idle Miner Tycoon.
I was tasked to create an event and various assets to be utilized for the event. This included: an event coin, miner skins, manager skins, items to mine and a background. I decided that my event would be entitled Tiki Beach Party.
Because I also enjoy the marketing side of design, I thought it would be interesting to turn a miner into a digital puppet that could be used via social media to promote the event. Having a talking character could be interesting to share on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube to promote a game, company or even a brand.
How game characters could be brought to life for social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!

I decided to also build new buildings for the special event. The clouds would be animated so that they travel across the screen. The boat could also cross the screen as well and the lights could blink.
Here is how the soil could look with assets to mine.
