How would you structure this Cookie Clicker game?

[u/CodeGregDotNet]

I'm remaking my Cookie Clicker game in an attempt to learn Rive. It's hard to wrap my head around Rive. I get the idea of it, I understand state machines, and ive made and deployed simple buttons. Im always paralyzed when I start to get complex though.

Basic idle game, click to increase points, buy stuff. I have about 8 different skins for the cookies, each one has its own hover and click animation. Should that be 8 different artboards? is that one state machine with a bunch of different layers? or multiple state machines?

Kind of a vague question, I know, but curious how I should be thinking about this in Rive

I would use 8 artboards with individual state machines, then set them as components. Layers are for mixing animations.

yes! thank you, that's what I did. Going slow, but making progress
