Marvel Rivals Randomizer
Don't know which hero to choose? Well, wonder no longer!
Give the button a push and watch the fate of your game be decided at random,
just like your ranked games with "those" teammates! Gotta fill a role?
No worries! Just toggle the others off, and you are good to go!
And remember, at the end of the game, if you won,
it's all cause of your skills, and if you lost?
Well, that wasn't your fault; it was clearly RNG's fault for giving you the wrong hero.

Randomizer Node Tree
With over 30 characters to choose from, the node tree in charge of the random selection grew quite large, the largest one I had made in Rive up to this point.
(Some pointed out that it looks like a praying mantis, which makes me giggle.)
What The Nodes Do
Each of these nodes has its own keyframe designating a location along the greater character line, which the system will stop at, transitioning from the cycling animation to these timelines, after a set time in line with the audio.
Design Inspiration
Having been inspired by Marvel Rivals’ beautiful style, I had wondered if I could mix my go-to style/process with theirs. this led to trying to combine their sharp and dynamic look with my softer/rounder style, and using their logo for color reference
Earlier Designs
Because of this mixing of two opposite styles, there was a lot of back and forth on what was liked and not, one such topic was the inclusion of textures onto the final piece to help weather it. It was ultimately chosen to keep it nice and clean.
