Hi, I created a mini-game powered by the new Rive GPU Canvas. At its core is a real-time fluid simulation using the MPM algorithm. This liquid also generates smoke, which runs on a separate engine at the same time.

To make it look magical, I added pattern algorithms directly to the fluid particles -- like Gray-Scott, Belousov-Zhabotinsky, and particle combustion. By combining them, I built 19 presets that create beautiful, dynamic patterns right on the living liquid.

It’s fully interactive! You can play with it using your cursor or touch screen. You can even tilt your iPhone to control the fluid using its motion sensors. Mix different ingredients to unlock new, ever-changing effects.

The complex and impressive look of the liquid is achieved by custom rendering for refraction, background distortion, reflections, depth shading, and dynamic waves based on particle velocity

Finally, to bring the whole scene to life, I wrote some custom scripts. These animate particles, bubbles, flickering flames, and a wavy ghost that dynamically changes its shape.

🪞 Everybody tells. Eventually.

Halloween, 2003. A little girl falls into the quarry above Stonewell. Her father finds her too late.

At least, that's the story he tells.

Twenty-three years later, he's coming home. Tonight the town burns its secrets. And something in a long grey coat is walking the street, reciting his own words back to him. Its face is a mirror.

🎃 THE HALFWAY

A first-person horror game built in Rive. Fog, film grain and a flashlight, like the survival horror we grew up on.

A forest where someone keeps calling her name. A diner that kept its light on. An old police scanner tape with a two-minute gap.

2:41. She's still talking. 2:43. He's going back down.

Nobody knows what happened in between. Except him.

In Stonewell, you write down the one thing you can't say out loud, and you burn it at midnight. So what would you write on yours?

He only came halfway. ✨
