I have been jumping between a few personal projects, some digital, some physical, so I haven't had a finished piece to share in quite a while. This one was a fun project where I made a VTuber in @rive.app and turned it into a full-on desktop app that I can use in Streamlabs.

Sadly, the video I have been sharing for this is slightly too big for BlueSky, BUT I made a game in @rive.app in ONE WEEK! Try it here: rive.app/community/fi... I also made a video discussing my experience making this game. Check that out here: youtu.be/thuSnu5D7tk #ScriptingWithRive

Spent the last month or so working in @rive.app on this character creator in response to the @uipeeps.bsky.social bi-monthly challenge. I feel like I was able to grow as a designer on this one, and I'm super excited to share it with everyone! #charactercreator #riveapp #uipeepschallenge

A quick one while I am working on a larger project. This odd little fella was just too cute not to make something with, even if I can't play the game myself. #donkeykongbananza

What is summer without a little heat to make you lose your head? Being prompted by Gunnerschool's monthly challenge, I thought I'd remake a visual I loved from DC's Absolute Martian Manhunter. Made in @rive.app #dccomics #absolutemartianmanhunter #interactiveart

From uploading once a week, to once a day (on my other accounts), to....once a month? Well, that doesn't seem right. This round fella is selling some things he found on his journey in May for some familiar-looking doughnuts to you 3D folks.

Last day of my month-long @rive.app challenge. With the tight hold the Blue Prince had on me this month while I worked on these projects, it seemed only fair to make the last one a little puzzle for you all. Try to solve it here: rive.app/community/fi...

Day 30, and a mighty foe blocks our way to the final day of my @rive.app challenge! Had this idea at like 3am last night and then slept till 4pm XD whoops.

It's day 29, and I'm doing another style experiment. It has been a while since I've done a stop-motion look, so I thought it would be a fun change of pace. The problem was that I didn't know what to do to make it interactive afterwards XD. Made in @rive.app Try it here: rive.app/community/fi...

TheFloridianFreak @thefloridianfreak.bsky.social · 28/05/2025
Day 28 is for chilling with the boys while you wait for that one friend who is always late. Was working on a bigger idea that isn't gonna be doable in one day so it is going to have to be put on hold till June if I want to do it justice. So look forward to that. Made in @rive.app

TheFloridianFreak @thefloridianfreak.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
Day 27. Made a simple loading animation that you might see in a cozy fantasy game. I wanted to put more time into it, so I might come back to it after the month is done, but for now, I refreshed my knowledge of setting up loading animations in @rive.app

Day 26 and I LOOOOOVEEEE that I finally got to try out #REPO with a buddy of mine. Super fun game, and I totally didn't get jumpscared by a blind guy with a shotgun, what are you talking about? Made in @rive.app Try it here: rive.app/community/fi...

Day 25 and a loooooooooooong week left in the challenge. Wanted to test an idea for having a delay on mouse following so why not make it a cat, a looooooong cat. Made in @rive.app You can find the file here: rive.app/community/fi... #catart

Day 23 and the Jacksonville Jazz Fest is happening right now, so I thought I could bring the music with this quick @rive.app project inspired by Shilstone Arts and their wonderful work. Try it here: rive.app/marketplace/...

Day 22 and a doodly day....that makes sense right? OH WELL. To this day, when I doodle, most of it is without lifting the pen, and that's what this @rive.app project aims to share. Your doodles don't need to be perfect, so make them yours. Try it here: rive.app/community/fi...

(Day) 21 is old enough to throw your life away gambling, right? A quick scratch off made in @rive.app that you will never win.

Day 20 ended up cutting it close to the deadline, but it was worth it. I made chess in @rive.app! I've wanted to do this since @duolingoverde.bsky.social announced their upcoming chess course. Try it here: rive.app/community/fi... #chess

Day 18, and I made a simple bell that could be used as a help icon at the bottom of a webpage or a fun interactive game element. Made in @rive.app Try here: rive.app/community/fi...

It's day 17, and honestly, I just wanted to make another thing based on something I like. I was watching some YouTube while I ate, saw some Dragon Ball Fighterz stuff, and went, "Ooooo, let's make a Dragon Ball." That's it—that was the thought behind this one. XD. Made in @rive.app #dragonballz

Rough day 16 ngl. Not that the project was hard, just one of those days, ya know? So I said screw it and made some fan art of one of my all time most played games, Slay The Spire (PLEASE LET STS2 DROP ALREADY I'M DIEING) Made in @rive.app #slaythespire #clawislaw

TheFloridianFreak @thefloridianfreak.bsky.social · 15/05/2025
I'm halfway through my @rive.app challenge, and I wanted to try something different with how I approached today's project. Started with the style and then figured out the interactive elements afterwards. Try it here: rive.app/community/fi... #motiondesign

After yesterday's bigger @rive.app project, I decided to do a smaller one to test an idea I had for chains, and what better to test it than with a Chain Chomp? Simple build, but I like how the chain turned out and could be used in some scenarios in the future. #mario #chainchomp

Day 10 of my @rive_app challenge is here! Honestly, I'm a little surprised I made it 10 days with how my sleep schedule has been the past couple of days XD. Either way, I tested out an idea using joysticks to control some settings. Try it here: rive.app/community/fi...

It is Piccolo Day! I had a late start, but I wanted to make another floating head for a while now. So why not revisit the series that started them? Especially on the day of my favorite character! Made in @rive.app #dragonball

Day 8 and a toss of the hat for all those graduating this year! I know quite a few people graduating from Ringling this year, and I could not be more proud of all of them and the insane amount of work they have put in over the past 4 years. Made in @rive.app

Help, I've been thinking about TADC again. Day 7 of my @rive.app challenge, and I went a little "abstract" for this one. #theamazingdigitalcircusfanart

TheFloridianFreak @thefloridianfreak.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
Day 6, and I wanted to make a little autosave/loading animation that you'd see in a game. Does anyone know a mole-based game that needs one? XD Made in @rive.app

TheFloridianFreak @thefloridianfreak.bsky.social · 06/05/2025
Day five, and despite being out all day, I made a quick loading bar in @rive.app based on the Dreamworks fisherman.

A quick one for today, as it is my birthday and I had plans with the fam. More of a style exploration than a @rive.app exploration, but still wanted to be able to blow out some candles XD Try it here: rive.app/community/fi...

Day three and I am already cheating, for shame. I have had this in the works since the announcement, but only now have I finished it using what I learned from day one's project. Made in @rive.app #kirby #kirbyfanart #riveapp

Throughout May, I will be posting a new Rive project every day. While there are a few reasons I wanted to do this (and have been for a while), the biggest one is to just make more and worry less. Made in @rive.app

TheFloridianFreak @thefloridianfreak.bsky.social · 27/04/2025
I made this in @rive.app a while back when I was learning about randomized exits and nested artboard timeline manipulation. Since I am working on some more technical projects that are taking extra time, I thought I'd share this in the meantime. It is simple but fun. rive.app/community/fi...

Happy Easter! While one bunny may be good at hiding eggs, the others are good at something else—that's right! Multiplication! What were you thinking of? This was a fun one to learn the new data binding feature in @rive.app

Another year, another demo reel. Over this past year, I have been able to fully dive into Rive and Unreal Engine as tools for my motion design. While they may not be the tools you would typically think of, I see them as the future of my work and part of the future of the industry

TheFloridianFreak @thefloridianfreak.bsky.social · 28/03/2025
This recreation of @idkhow.bsky.social Razzmatazz album cover was made in @rive.app so that I could start playing with their graph editor more. I'm a big fan of their music, and it was a lot of fun to make, so I hope y'all will give it a try in the link below. rive.app/community/fi...
