My entry for the Games with Rive challenge, finally! I was super happy to put my game dev skills to use.

⚔️ Battle Stride — a card-based dungeon crawler where you lay down path cards to guide a soldier through procedurally generated dungeons, battle enemies, and collect relics.

I used Rive's state machines to drive all the character and card animations, data binding to keep the HUD in sync with game state, and listeners for interactive hover and click effects on the cards.

All the art—characters, cards, tiles, and relics—was hand-drawn and animated in Rive's editor using vector shapes, then exported as lightweight files for the web.

Audio events in the state machine handle combat and pickup sounds. The whole thing runs in the browser with lightweight vector exports.

Hey friends! Here's the WRAD team submission for the Games with @Rive challenge! We decided to build a prototype for a deckbuilding roguelike, but with realtime combat mechanics like a Dark Souls stamina bar and a parry mechanic. Thanks for checking out the video; let me know what you think!

My entry for the Rive Game Challenge! 🚀 A fully functional 2D incremental clicker where you manage a grid, harvest resources, and automate an economy to fight a spreading virus.

• Designed with a solid GDD for balanced incremental math & upgrades. • Grid Mechanics: Plant seeds & collect wood. Beware the dynamic "Rot" hazard that infects healthy tiles! • Custom AI (Scripting): Smart targeting logic. The Sower plants, Reaper harvests, and Slime hunts the Rot. • Economy: Reinvest wood to level up helpers for speed & massive Critical Hits. • Tech Stack: Global state script for grid arrays, Data Binding for real-time UI, and State Machines for seamless animations.
