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.

Engineering creative multidisciplinary experiences. 🎧🛠️ I’ve been exploring the intersection of industrial design and digital interfaces. This project is a look at the ecosystem for Kinetix, a laboratory focused on precision mechanics and hi-fi audio. I used Framer to create a high-fidelity experience that mirrors the brand's "Purity Mechanics" philosophy—stripping away the noise to focus on radical engineering. What’s inside: Built in Framer: Focused on high-fidelity, responsive interactions. Technical Catalog: Featuring the KX-170 radio and the KX-7 tactical cassette interface. Multidisciplinary Approach: A workflow covering everything from acoustic tuning to 3D material science. Check out the live preview here: https://lnkd.in/e7NzFnh3 I’m currently open to new design and tech collaborations—feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat! ⚠️ Disclaimer: This is a design exploration. Some visual assets were sourced from Cosmos to help set the aesthetic direction.

Love this!
