New case, made in collaboration: three interactive Pokémon cards in Rive.

Rive turned out to be a completely different way of thinking than anything I’d drawn before. You don’t animate a scene and hand over a video. You build the behaviour, and then the viewer decides what happens next. Which means every pose has to work before anyone even touches it.

Idle pose, action pose, eyes that follow your cursor without looking creepy. Three action buttons per card, each firing its own move.

The whole process is in the case, from the first card designs to every card in motion 👇
