This was supposed to be our entry for the Rive's character animation challenge. However, I knew we wouldn't be able to finish it in time so we opted for an easier concept. The idea here, is to have the character sing to a song while the user would be able to control her emotions and where she's looking at. The shadows would also be rigged. I'll continue to work on this on my free time.

Hi everyone! This is my very first Rive project.
Meet Star Dance Battle—a dreamy broadcast UI where competition meets a sky full of dancing stars. ☁️⭐
I created Star Dance Battle, a live broadcast UI concept for the @Rive × @Contra HQ Broadcast & Livestream Challenge. ✨
The experience is inspired by the energy of Red Bull Breakdance Bboy Battles and the excitement of live dance battles, but reimagined through a whimsical, dreamy world with a softer, more feminine aesthetic.
The stage takes place in a Cloud Kingdom, where every glowing star represents a happy memory or a small moment worth celebrating. As we go through life, we collect these little stars by recording the moments that make us smile. On difficult days, we can revisit this sky of memories and enter Dance Mode—immersing ourselves in music, movement, and the joyful reminders of what we've accomplished and experienced.
Built with Rive Scripting, Data Binding, ViewModels, nested animations, and state machines, the interface reacts dynamically to live match data—from score updates and voting progress to character animations and broadcast transitions—creating a playful and responsive live viewing experience.
My hope is that these interactions encourage people to celebrate both the big wins and the little moments that brighten everyday life.
I'd love to hear what you think! 💙✨

Really like the Cloud Kingdom idea. It makes the whole concept feel unique and memorable.
Super excited to finally take part in my first Contra challenge! I’ve been diving into interactive broadcast design lately, and this project taught me so much about combining motion, data, and gameplay into one connected experience.
This is an interactive bowling broadcast package, combining a playable lane with dynamic 10-frame scoring cells, customizable player cards, responsive lower thirds, strike celebrations, and a final results screen. View Models, state machines, layouts, and custom scripting connect the gameplay and broadcast graphics into one responsive system.
Unfortunately, the project relies on a custom font that I cannot redistribute, so I’m unable to upload the editable file to the Rive Marketplace.:
You're a legend man, how did you pull of this video and this game setup in such a short span of time? You must be a wizard😂
I'm excited to finally share my official submission for the Rive Broadcast & Livestream Challenge! 🎉
A few days ago I posted a sneak peek, but this is the complete project.
Backstreaming was born from a simple idea: make professional broadcast graphics accessible to every streamer and content creator.
Instead of creating only a collection of overlays, I wanted to present a platform where designers can build interactive graphics with Rive, creators can control them live through a dedicated control panel, and, in the future, both can be part of the same ecosystem.
My vision is to help build a community where designers create, creators stream, and interactive broadcast graphics become more accessible for everyone.
This project wouldn't exist without the incredible capabilities of Rive and its Data Binding system, which completely changed the way I think about interactive graphics for live production.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed building it.
Thank you, and good luck to everyone participating in the challenge! 🚀
