Game, I am working on with Rive. No AI agent involved. You can test the realistic game character animation on https://rive.app/marketplace/27960-52834-interactive-game-character/

I built an assistant character in Rive that's wired into the product's actual state — not a loop on top of the UI, but a face that responds in real time. It blinks and breathes while idle, leans in the moment you start typing, jumps when the answer lands and winces when something goes wrong.

Every expression is driven by data binding, so the character mirrors what the assistant is actually doing — part of the product, not a sticker on top of it.

Under the hood One Rive state machine: Idle · Typing · Correct · Wrong · Jump. Every mood is driven by data binding (typing / correct / wrong / jump), so the face reads the assistant's actual state — no canned loops.

That's the whole engine behind the demo above.

How hot is too hot for a ginger?

Currently working on a submission for the Rive x Contra Character Challenge. Building off an old idea, simply type in a city, and the animations will be changed based on that. Then you'll know how hot a ginger will get!

And guess what? This respects Reduce Motion setting in your OS*. I'm very glad to get this feature in, and it was really straightforward to set up.

The plan will be to link up with a weather API and the whole thing will run live on a website sometime in the near future.

For now, last few days to push and polish this!

*once it runs on a website and not solely in Rive
