Behind the scenes
How we work
Our apps don’t begin on a screen – they begin on real paper. From the first brushstroke to the finished app, every Tiny app goes through five loving steps.
Step by step
From idea to finished app
01
Illustration
Every character and scene is made by hand – with brush, watercolour and water on real paper.
02
Testing ideas
We cut out characters, arrange scenes and test with children what is genuinely fun.
03
Artwork
The watercolours are scanned, cut out and prepared piece by piece for animation.
04
Animation
Heads, arms, vehicles – every element is rigged and brought to life frame by frame.
05
Programming
In the game engine, artwork, animation, music and interaction come together into the finished app.
From the studio
Glimpses
