Every street performer deserves a companion.
This musician cat was built for an app serving street artists — designed to feel friendly, charismatic, and alive inside the product.
15 states driven by a state machine: he plays guitar, piano, sax, flute, dances, thinks, celebrates, greets, and more. All triggered by inputs, all connected to what the user is doing.
Scoped and delivered end-to-end: concept, character design, and Rive animation.

That's damn good
Very cute. Hey so to participate you have to buy their monthly $9 plan right?
No need Ruturaj. You can create in free plan, record your work and submit
Ontop of just screen recording.
The free plan will let you render out images , image sequences , or video.
Main thing the paid plan does is let you export .riv files to use in a runtime like web, or export/import .rev for sharing work.
Super cool
15 states in Rive with a state machine is a serious build. The personality comes through even just in the still, which is hard to achieve with flat illustration. The hat is a good character choice too, gives him a bit of story without needing words.
Not gonna lie, you get a upvote from me just for the cute cats.
this is so fun! make sure to include your Rive invite link or embedded URL for your build too :)
Nice work👏🔥🔥
Cool
Awesome
love it
amazing
A jazz cat with 15 states who actually switches instruments?? 😭 That teal hat and those green eyes already have more drip than most human characters. "Every street performer deserves a companion" — what a line 🔥
