Questveil - Real-World RPG Mobile Game Design
Nobody opens Google Maps and feels excited.
That's the problem we designed around.
SideQuest turns the real world into a playable RPG layer —
- Streets become quest zones
- Locations spawn challenges and dungeons.
- Movement earns XP
- Every session feels like a new chapter
The UI doesn't look like a map app. It looks like booting up a game.
Sky-blue 3D isometric world. Animated player pins. Live mission cards. Real neighborhoods. Real stakes.
This is location-based design done differently.
Tool: figma

Cursor Camp, A Real-Time Multiplayer World, Built with Rive
Cursor Camp is a live multiplayer playground where up to 1000 real cursors from around the globe share the same space simultaneously. A beach, lazy river, clubhouse, campfire, soccer pitch, cave, treehouse and more, brought to life through over 40 Rive-powered interactions and animations spanning environments, characters, objects, and interactions.
My role was building the entire Rive layer. Starting from the illustrator’s artwork, I translated everything into interactive systems, rigging and animating scenes, characters, and objects while developing the state machines and behaviours that make the world feel dynamic and alive.
The real challenge was making it data-aware. Using ViewModel data binding and Luau scripting throughout, every animation responds to live runtime input, with cursors picking up objects, triggering states, and reacting to a constantly changing world.
That includes moments like players duetting on a piano in real time, progressively eating an entire cake with each click, adding sticks to a fire to increase its intensity, or dropping ingredients into a cauldron to dynamically change the colour of the broth.
The result is a Rive system ready to be wired into Neal Agarwal’s multiplayer backend, where WebSockets keep thousands of players in sync in real time.
It hit the front page of Hacker News on day one, with people asking one question over and over:
How is this running in a browser?
That’s the impossible UI.
I like the art style and the all details of the game. Really good work.
What if your entire campaign came from one evolving canvas?
I tested Melius by building a skincare campaign from scratch using visuals I already loved.
💡 I started with a couple of product images and mockups, then expanded them and even stitched two generated clips together to create a more seamless video.
What stood out to me is not just the generation, but the iteration. Being able to shape, adjust, and connect ideas in one place feels very different from jumping between tools.
Will I be shooting a full campaign on the other side of the world? 🌍 Probably not. But I can definitely help direct one remotely. 😏
For freelance work, that means clearer art direction, faster decisions, and stronger client presentations.
Curious… if you had this kind of workflow, what would you build first?
Elegant work,simple, but done really well.
Awesome combination of tools, layout & animations!
