My @Rive racing game breakdown! 🚗💨
I thought I'd share a short breakdown exploring the systems and ideas behind the project so far!
So cool man
Thanks Santu! 🙏🏻
Shout out to @Guido Rosso for the suggestion to add shadows, it really made things pop!
Very cool breakdown 👌 Always interesting seeing how different people structure interaction systems in Rive.
Thanks Abhiram, yes I often find the breakdowns and behind the scenes to be more interesting than the finished article, I thought some might find this interesting!
Completely agree 🙌
Breakdowns reveal the real thinking behind the work — always more valuable than just the final output.
Yeah
Man! you nailed it!
Thanks Dude!
Wow this is fantastic
Thank you Vez!

The track design and collision system look really well thought out. Would love to see AI opponents added!
Thanks Steph! It has A.I. cars (they follow waypoints that you can add to the script for each track), but I've actually also set it up with multiplayer in mind. Eventually you'll be able to race against others in realtime in the browser!
Such a cool project!
Really interesting breakdown. I love seeing how interaction systems are structured behind the scenes — the logic and constraints make it much more impressive than just the final visual result.
I love that you integrated epic highlights instead of just 2d static!
Thanks man. Yeah it took me a while to arrive at the right look. For a while it felt good, but looked really flat. I think there's much more that could be done to get a really polished product, but I'm happy with it so far!
Appreciate the effort!
Love the breakdown
Thanks Steph! I might do a more in depth article about it too at some point!
It's mad isn't it, the things you can create in Rive now are mind blowing!
Such a complete game project, man!
Impressive!
Thank you Javier! Really appreciate the kind words, especially from a Rive Goat such as yourself! 🐐
Very cool breakdown 👌
Thanks Akin! 🙏🏻

Thank you Hauwa! It's been fun to keep adding layers of detail and complexity!

Thanks Alexis! Gotta keep making mad stuff!

Moon lander game coming up next then!
BRAVO!
🙏🏻

Created for a football campaign built around movement, momentum, and big stage energy. Sometimes projects don’t make it all the way through, but that doesn’t mean the thinking stops. Still one I loved creating.

"Make Your Move" for FIFA 2026 is so well thought-out — the energy and big stage feel come through immediately. The chartreuse and blue palette is electric! Love seeing the thinking even on projects that don't fully ship.
