NEXUS ROSTER - Interactive Esports

NEXUS ROSTER - Interactive Esports Broadcast UI

NEXUS ROSTER is a cinematic esports broadcast interface built entirely in Rive. It turns a fictional ten-player matchup into a responsive live-data experience with interactive roster cards, layered performance profiles, team-aware selection logic, sound feedback, and a triggerable broadcast event.

I built NEXUS ROSTER for the Rive Broadcast & Livestream UI Challenge.

The concept started with one question: what if roster data felt like part of the esports arena instead of a static overlay?

Viewers can scout ten fictional players, reveal roles through hover and sound feedback, select one active player per team, compare layered performance data, replace either selection, and trigger a live broadcast event that advances the score.

Built in Rive with:

‣ State machines and View Model data

‣ Team-aware selection logic and scripting

‣ Layered player-card motion

‣ Interactive hover, open, switch, and collapse states

‣ Audio Events and responsive SFX

‣ A reusable two-team broadcast system

All teams, players, names, statistics, and marks are fictional and were created specifically for this project.

As a Full-Stack Product Builder, I approached this as a product system-not only a motion piece. The interaction model, information hierarchy, reusable states, and feedback loops were designed to scale beyond this single matchup.

I would love to hear which interaction feels strongest.
