Description

The goal of this Challenge is to create assets, props, and effects related to mining that can be used by other creators that have games with mining features.

Features

Mining Assets
Design anything related to mining. Some ideas include:

  • Ore Deposits (for multiple different ore types)
  • Rock Piles
  • Pickaxes
  • Wood Axes
  • Shovels
  • Other Tools
  • Dynamite
  • Mine Shafts (tileable)
  • Mine Interior Props (lanterns, tools, beams, etc)
  • Forges
  • Anvils
  • Blacksmith Hammer
  • Metal Ingots
  • Anything else related to mining!

Mining Effects
Visual effects (VFX) and sound effects (SFX) also play an important role in mining. Consider adding effects to your tools for common actions such as:

  • Pickaxe striking rock.
  • Wood axe striking tree.
  • Shovel entering ground.
  • Hammer striking anvil.
  • Displaying resources gained from mining something.
  • Displaying the “health bar” of the item being mined.
  • Destroying the item being mined when it is depleted.
  • See Fortnite, for example, which has all of these effects.

Inspiration

In any mining game on other platforms take a look at the mining assets and effects during the mining process.
