Review the target device first
Provide the OS, rendering stack, Rive runtime, screen resolution and safe area, performance constraints and voice-data format. Arbitrary embedded hardware is not automatically supported.
An agreed control contract
Activity, emotion, audio level and lookX/lookY are example control concepts. Names, values, ranges and ownership are agreed per project. The app owns playback and timing.
