Summary

Integrate Rive into the Unity project to power animated, interactive game UI instead of (or alongside) the current Canvas/TMP-based screens.

Motivation

  • Login and chat UI are currently built with uGUI + TextMeshPro (LoginUI, ChatUI prefabs)
  • Rive enables designer-driven animated UI with state machines and smoother transitions
  • Better separation between design and implementation for HUD, menus, and chat panels

Scope

  • Add Rive Unity runtime package to the project
  • Configure render pipeline compatibility (URP is active)
  • Create/import initial .riv assets for core UI flows
  • Prototype replacing or wrapping existing UI:
    • Login screen (Assets/Scripts/Chat/LoginUI.cs)
    • In-game chat panel (Assets/Scripts/Chat/ChatUI.cs)
  • Document workflow for designers (export settings, naming, state machine conventions)
  • Verify input focus behavior still works with chat (movement should pause while typing)

Acceptance criteria

  • Rive runtime loads in SampleScene without errors
  • At least one game UI screen is driven by a Rive asset
  • Existing Mirror networking/auth/chat flow remains functional
  • Short README or note on how to add/update Rive UI assets
