Before starting the production, we need to outline the gameplay logic for this case：
Upon entering the trial, displaying "A girl with a pimple on her forehead" and "Operation guiding" to guide player to draw a line on the forehead to squeeze the pimple.
When the player draws any line on the forehead, play the "Success feedback" and then redirect to the end page.
On the end page, when the player presses anywhere, redirect him to app store.
Core Concept: Minimize the number of animations and events within each scene, maintain clear logic in scene segmentation, and keep the layer structure simple.
Scene Segmentation: Based on the gameplay overview from the previous section, we can divide this case into 3 scenes for production.

*The core content consists of Step4 "Event Setting."
It is recommended to upload all assets into the "Project Assets" after creating the project for easier access and usage in the future.
1）Add BGM and Background Image in the "Global Settings" section.
2）Add permanent download button, logo and other product information under "Global Scene", and adjust their position size.
II-I）Scene 1
1）Add core gameplay assets to scene 1.
2）Adjust the position and size of each asset accordingly and group, arrange, and name the assets based on their types.
3）Add component: Click "Gameplay Template" and add the "Draw Lines" component from the "Component".
4）Adjust component parameters: Directly drag/stretch the green rectangle on the canvas to adjust the position and size of the component to fit the forehead. Then set the color and thickness of the drawn line.
II-II）Scene 2
1）Add result feedback assets to scene 2.
2）Adjust the assets to the appropriate positions and sizes.
II-III）Scene 3
1）Create a new scene 3 and add product information assets.
2）Check scene 3 as the "Ending Scene" for reporting the end of the playable ads.
3）Disable the "Global scene" option for scene 3.
After completing the layout for portrait orientation, we need to adjust the "layout for landscape orientation" and the "screen adaptation for both landscape and portrait orientations."
1）In scene 1, switch to landscape mode and select all the top-level layers (including the Draw Lines Component layer).
2）Use the "Reuse vertical screen position configuration" function to automatically adjust the layout, and then fine-tune the position and scale of each layer appropriately to display the complete core gameplay content.
3）Similarly, switch to scene 2, scene 3, and the "Global Scene" one by one, use the "Reuse vertical screen position configuration" feature to automatically adjust the layout, and then fine-tune the positions and sizes.
In this case, we want the persistent information group in portrait mode to always be at the top of the screen for each device model. Therefore, we adjust its "Screen adaptation" to "Top-Fit" (other layers remain centered without adjustment).
In this case, the animations and particle effects used are as follows. Let's introduce them one by one:
Scene 1: Acne Needle movement animation, Guiding Text movement animation, Guiding Halo blinking animation.
Scene 2: Feedback Text entrance animation, Ribbon particles, Star particles.
Scene 3: Redirect Button scaling animation, Star particles.
1）Select the acne needle image [prop] , Add Animation - Universal - Displacement Easing,to achieve horizontal movement as a guiding animation.
2）Copy the animation to the acne needle group layer [group_prop], adjust the animation parameters for vertical movement as a guiding animation.
3）Combine the two animations to create a looping guiding animation for the acne needle. Set the parameters as follows:
Select the guiding text [text_guidelines] , Add Animation - Universal - Displacement Easing. Set the parameters as follows:
Select the guiding halo image [flash], Add Animation - Universal - Alpha Easing, to create a twinkling effect. Set the parameters as follows:
Select the feedback text [text_welldone], Add Animation - Approach - ZoomIn2. Set the parameters as follows:
Select the redirect button group [group_download] in scene 3, Add Animation - Emphasize - PulseFront, to create a looping guiding animation for the button. Set the parameters as follows:
1）Click on [Asset Library] - [Particle], choose and add star particles to enhance the visual ambiance of the end page.
2）Adjust the particles to the appropriate position.
3）Similarly, in scene 2, add ribbon particles and starburst particles to enhance the visual effect of the success feedback.
4）Adjust the particle positions for portrait orientation, and also switch to landscape mode for adjustments.
The contents related to events and setups in this case are as follows: hiding the operation guiding when beginning drawing, redirecting to the next scene when finishing drawing,redirecting to the end page after playing the success feedback, and redirecting to app store when the button is pressed on the end page.
Next, we will explain them in order.
1）Select the Draw Lines Component layer in Scene 1, click "Add Event," and choose "Begin Drawing" as the trigger event.
Add response event: Set Tracking Event,and edit the tracking name as "First Effective Action."
Add response event: Hide the acne needle group layer, hide the guiding halo, and play the click sound effect once from the beginning.
2）Continue to "Add Event" and choose "Finish Drawing" as the trigger event.
Add response event: Redirect to the next scene.
In Scene 2, click "Add Event," choose "Timing trigger" as the trigger event.
Set the execution delay time to 1 second.
Add response event: Redirect to the next scene.
In Scene 3, click "Add Event," choose "Press" as the trigger event.
Add response event: Set Tracking Event,and edit the tracking name as "End Page Triggered."
Add response event: Redirect to app store.
Select the persistent download button group under "Global Scene," click "Add Event," and choose "Press" as the trigger event.
Add response event: Redirect to app store.
These are all the events used in this case. With the completion of all event settings, our material is completed.
1）It is advisable to preview your work promptly after completing each step in the creation process to check if the settings are correct.
2）Once everything is completed, it is recommended to perform an overall preview on different devices, languages, and orientations to ensure everything is working correctly.
At the end of the tutorial, we have provided all the assets used in this case for you. Click on the compressed file to download it.
You can use these assets to follow the tutorial and try to make it, so that you can start using the Content editor to make such materials as soon as possible.
